Coastal Elegance: A Dream Kitchen Designed for Modern Living

This project involved collaborating closely with the client, builders, and architects to design a kitchen that perfectly suited both the scale of their ground-floor extension and their lifestyle needs. With a new open-plan layout, the client sought a kitchen that was not only functional for everyday life and entertaining but also in harmony with their beautiful beachfront home.

At the heart of the design is an extra-large island that serves as both a social hub and a practical workspace. Bar seating provides a relaxed area for guests, while the island also features a prep sink with a Quooker boiling water tap on one side and a BORA hob with surface extraction on the other. The inclusion of glass-fronted units and an herb planter adds a touch of personalisation and functionality, ideal for keen cooks and entertainers alike.

The seamless flow of the kitchen into the adjoining utility room was essential, with a dedicated kitchen door and a hidden entrance from the hallway offering multiple access points. Elevated washing machine and dryer with clothes basket organisation and utility storage helps to make housework stress free.   As always, efficient storage solutions were a priority. We incorporated pocket doors, pull-out larders, and ceiling-high top boxes for longer-term storage, maximising both convenience and space.

Appliances were carefully selected to meet the client’s passion for cooking. Top-of-the-line Miele steam ovens and expansive cooling solutions from Liebherr, including a wine fridge, were integrated into the design. Additionally, the client’s Thermomixer was given its own dedicated space, with bespoke extraction built into the wall units to maintain the clean, sleek aesthetic.

The handleless design, in Leicht’s Classic-FS midnight blue and merino white, enhances the kitchen’s minimalistic appeal, while the Neolith Blanco Carrara Silk worktop, mitred to 40mm with a waterfall end, adds subtle sophistication and luxury to the space.

This project is a testament to how we work collaboratively with clients, architects, and builders to ensure every detail—from layout to appliances and storage—is meticulously designed to bring their dream kitchen to life.
