Westwood Kitchen
The Westwood kitchen was designed after very careful and detailed consultation with the client and her architect Tristan Wigfall of Alma-nac Architects. It was crucial that the kitchen furniture had to fit perfectly with many architectural features. The window is a close fit with the worktop forming the sill and the island hob is serviced with a pop-up extractor which is vented via a duct incorporated within the concrete floor screed.
The main body of cabinets along the wall are flat veneered doors in American Black Walnut in a handle-less design, using touch catches on the doors and drawers. The island also has simple flat doors but with a top moulded continuous handle feature incorporated, and all finished in a matt white hard lacquer. The kitchen is equipped with a full suite of Neff ovens, steam oven and microwave, an induction hob and an integrated dishwasher. Refrigeration is located in a walk-in pantry set off to the right-hand end of the kitchen accessed via a sliding door. This is the main food storage area; the kitchen houses crockery, linen, pots and pans.
The kitchen table, designed by Treske, features simple, clean lines and it is easy to store chairs neatly underneath it. It’s very comfortable to sit down at, with no table leg between the knees. Although this was a one-off exercise, it is a lovely table for a kitchen and could easily be repeated for another customer.
