Archerfeild
On reviewing the architect’s proposed floor plans, we could see a great opportunity to manipulate the space available to enhance the entire layout of the kitchen design. This then allowed us to introduce a large bespoke island that would cater for both guests and chef. Being out in the Archerfield woodland area we wanted to keep a traditional classic style with a touch of contemporary features. We proposed a plain shaker profile door so that the form of the cabinetry would not only relate to the solid straight lines of the stone work, but also give a clean, architectural but traditional feel. We felt it was important to have the kitchen furniture, where it meets the ceiling, be encased within the coving around the ceiling, evoking the feeling that the furniture was part of the original architecture. We worked closely with the stone fabricators to have the Gaggenau hobs perfectly aligned with the key locations of the control knobs on the stone clad island. Overall we feel the manipulation of the floor plan at the early stage has truly transformed the original proposal into something now that is simply beautiful and understated and has exceeded our clients’ brief and expectations.
