A bandsawn Ash utility room. The bandsaw adds a perpendicular chattering to the surface giving a rustic appearance, sophistication added by a brass inlaid chamfered ring. Part of the economical bandsawn range. I almost always recommend appliances when it comes to washing and drying, not an ad, i just really rate them. My good friends on the worktops. thanks again for help on the install.

An absolute joy of a kitchen. It’s in Kasbah by . Oak cabinets and drawers. It’s traditional with some cheeky features inc charging drawer, downdraft extractor, floating downlight shelving and a delightful yellow ( hay) larder interior with infra red sensor lighting. I am particularly pleased with the symmetry here managing to keep the tap, sink and hob central to the window despite the constraints of standardised appliance dimensions and a pre-built space.

Design in collaboration with .far.west

A special thanks to for help with the install

Some nice features in this kitchen including a heated bench seat, integrated coffee knock box, slate surfaced walk in pantry, stemware rack, infra red proximity sensors for lighting and a Quooker tap (of course!)…

Great video by my good friend

I really wanted to let the materials do the talking in this project. The stone of an old chimney breast is effectively the back of 3 large larders, which requires some careful design considerations as even an excellent scribe would a bit unfinished. Instead a shadow gap gives the sophistication required. The oak doors and drawers all have exposed joints with profiles cut across them so that from different angles you feel like you can almost see inside the timber.

Hi folks!
I have just uploaded some recent projects to my website, including a Breakfast Room Green Shaker and another kitchen that attempts to close the boundary between shaker and contemporary! Some exciting stuff (for me!) please do take a look! X

An attempt to cross the boundary and blend both contemporary and traditional shaker designs into one beautiful kitchen. A heavily featured functional family kitchen with a pink walk-in pantry behind reeded glass.
