Project

This project began with a clear goal: to blend an industrial aesthetic with a warm, open‐plan layout that draws energy from the clients’ vibrant garden. Little Greene’s “Harley Green” on the Shaker‐style cabinets sets the tone, balancing a lively colour with classic lines. From the front door, the island and coffee station direct the view straight to the garden, highlighting that strong connection between indoors and out.

Reeded‐glass wall cabinets and black steel accents emphasise the industrial side of the design, while floating oak shelves and Zellige tiles add warmth and texture. Subtle LED lighting highlights the natural edges of the tiles. In the breakfast area, the architects created a bespoke walnut table with a powder‐coated steel plate to carry through the industrial look.

The main run features a larger Belfast sink for everyday use, while a second, smaller sink—paired with a Quooker tap—handles drinks. With a household size that can vary from one to four people, there is both a standard dishwasher and double Fisher & Paykel dish drawers. Gaggenau Series 200 appliances include an induction hob with a downdraft, a single oven, and a microwave‐combi, while the Samsung French‐style fridge freezer with a Beverage Center™ completes the appliance lineup.

Shaker cornicing, satin‐chrome hinges, and overhead cabinets in Black RAL 9015 wrap up the overall look, keeping the focus on a practical, yet visually striking, space.
