We are delighted to win the Kitchen Designer of the Year award (over £50K category) at the 2022 KBSA Designer Awards for our recent luxury bespoke kitchen design.
The award was presented by actress and comedian Sally Phillips and Keith is pictured between Simon Jones, Director of Kitchen Division, from BSH Home Appliances Limited to the left and Richard Hibbert, Kbsa Chair.
The owners of this kitchen had purchased a brand-new detached luxury house in Ascot, Berkshire which was designed and built by developers, Croft Homes. The developer introduced the owners to us to design and build a luxury kitchen that would not only be a central feature in their new open-plan home but would mirror the premium interior finish and architectural features of the property.
Part of the owner’s brief was to create a wow-factor kitchen with cabinetry, materials and accessories in dark, moody tones that would match the opulent look of the rest of their home. The owners loved cooking and fine wine, so the design also had to allow them to cook, drink wine and enjoy it not only together, but also for it to entertain and host several friends and family events.
To answer the client’s brief, we designed an elegant, timeless kitchen by choosing hand-crafted in-frame bespoke cabinetry made from a Tulipwood frame. Featuring elegant bead detailing, the cabinetry was finished in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Plummet’ – a grey tone for sophistication and a touch of drama. In contrast, the central island unit was hand-painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Hague Blue’ tone. By adding brass hinges and handles to the cabinetry it added a modern, contemporary touch to the traditional-style cabinets.
The bespoke cabinetry was designed around a statement Teca Home wine cabinet with feature integrated lighting that provided the ‘wow-factor’ and opulent style they desired. A Stainless Steel Fisher & Paykel Fridge Freezer was also included on the same cabinet row for ease of use when preparing food in the kitchen. On the other cabinet wall, Siemens convention and steam-oven appliances frame the cabinetry around a Siemens induction hob that sits in front of a magnificent piece of Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold as a splashback. The same Silestone natural stone worktops were also matched in a sleek, contrasting 20mm width to create a seamless look. Glass cabinetry was chosen above each of the ovens to display the owner’s favourite decorative items and add a touch of interior style.
