Kitchen and Walk-In Wardrobe

Tess and Craig, London SE1

A harmonious balance between high-end design and a family home

Tess and Craig, residing in a tranquil street in Peckham, embarked on a project that struck a balance between high-end design and a family home. The house itself was completely gutted, providing an empty slate which granted us creative freedom with the kitchen, utility room and a walk-in wardrobe design. Storage was a crucial aspect of the project, ensuring they had ample space for hiding away any children’s toys when hosting friends and family.

In the kitchen, Tess and Craig wanted the design to contrast their light-toned ceiling, wall and floor combination. To achieve this, we opted for our durable Green (Verde Comodoro) Fenix and Cherry Veneer Plywood to enhance the home's rich hues. They decided on a cheerful Diespeker terrazzo worktop for the kitchen island, which complements the overall aesthetic.

The kitchen also includes a large, durable sink, plentiful storage for groceries and kitchenware, a built-in oven and microwave, and a separate utility room. The middle island consists of multiple drawers and a concealed charging point for phones, while the storage unit behind the island was designed to store toys, paperwork and a drinks cabinet. Grooved doors and open shelving add light and character to the unit, making it a welcoming area to make drinks for guests. By incorporating curved edges and playful, grooved doors elsewhere in the kitchen design, the perfect balance between form and function was achieved.

For the walk-in wardrobe, it was decided, collectively, that the furniture should be in the same Cherry Veneer Plywood, maintaining consistency in the design language throughout all floors while beautifully complementing the bold hues and original floorboards in the upstairs space. Tess and Craig wanted to maximise the height of the room, presenting us with the matter of accommodating this without the wardrobe feeling bulky. We achieved this by pushing the furniture height beyond our standard limit and counteracting the scale by designing unique, curved corners for the top. This posed an exciting challenge for the workshop, creating our largest curved wardrobe to date!

Circular handles and asymmetrical design soften the look whilst offering a variety of hanging and drawer space; dowel legs then elevate the entire design, lending structure and lightness at the base. The spill of natural light in the room highlights the striking grain of the wood and the curved drawers, which we included internal dividers for that can be removed for convenience and functional versatility. Tess and Craig's walk-in closet is a beautiful and functional space that meets all their storage needs while adding a modern and elegant touch to their home.
