A Sophisticated Townhouse Kitchen

Using the existing alcoves each side of the chimney breast the doors appear shaker but have a subtle softening round on their frames  to fit in with the Victorian house.  Behind the bifolding cupboard doors is ample storage for appliances along with power sockets.  Opening the bifold doors allows for a full worksurface of the silestone Classic Calcata so that the full depth of a worksurface is used but the doors can quickly hide the untidyness of everyday life.

The cooking area consists of two Miele ovens under a induction hob within the silestone.  Extraction into the chimney is via a Westin extractor.

In the opposite wall storage around the sink area has been carefully planned, with a tall integrated NEFF fridge freezer and below the sink an integrated dishwasher.  The 1810 undermounted stainless steel sink with a Quooker Flex tap is made to look very generous by the mirrored splashback between the full height units and open display cabinetry.  A display larder cupboard was key to the clients wishes and is designed as a key feature inlcuding many personal Yorkshire touches.

As the design conversation developed the central island took shape to give more worksurface area and wine storage.  The island also contains the integrated Ecoplus sorter bin.  The curved end of the island softens the view from the living area.  

The challenge of this design was to make the kitchen feel as large as possible while optimising storage.  The mirrored plinth boards help give the illusion of the floor space being wider than it actually is.
