The Hampstead Heath Kitchen
Our client was undertaking a complete makeover of this elegant and spacious Edwardian house in Hampstead and wanted the kitchen to follow the contemporary but classic style of the rest of the house. Charlie designed a version of the Ledbury Shaker kitchen, bringing the style bang up to date with a modern cornice and specially designed aged brass handles. The colour palette is calm and muted in Shadow White , and there is a very serene feel to the kitchen with its beautifully made simple furniture. Storage and functionality were a priority so frame sizes on drawers were kept to a minimum to maximise cupboard space.
The use of luxurious materials in an understated way is the hallmark of this kitchen, so above the Wolf range is a cooker hood made with a textured Marmarino Venetian Plaster finish, and the beautiful bespoke double sink in Arabescato marble was specially designed to sit within the marble worktop. Ribbed glass was used in the drinks cabinet by the table and elsewhere to add to the modern touch in the rest of the kitchen.
