Streamlined Simplicity with a Touch of Character

The foundation of this kitchen is built on the slab door style, crafted from MDF for a smooth, flawless finish. These doors are painted to colour-match the rich, moody tones of Farrow & Ball’s Tar, adding depth and a dramatic, yet understated, elegance to the space. The seamless look of slab doors offers a modern, minimalist aesthetic while maintaining an air of sophistication.

The upper cabinetry is designed with a clever overdrawer on the top box, and the scribing to ceiling gives the tall units a custom, built-in look that enhances the sleekness of the design

Luxury Surfaces: Calacatta Oro Quartz

To complement the deep hues of the cabinetry, we’ve chosen 20mm Fugen Calacatta Oro quartz for the worktops. Known for its striking veining and soft gold undertones, this surface brings a luxurious touch to the kitchen without compromising on durability. Up-stands run up to the windowsill, which also features a separate piece of quartz, creating a continuous and polished look throughout.

Refined Hardware: Antique Brass Accents

The choice of hardware is essential in tying the overall design together, and we’ve opted for Alexander & Wilkes antique brass knurled bar handles. These handles provide a refined contrast to the dark cabinetry, introducing texture and warmth to the kitchen’s sleek surfaces. The subtle sheen of antique brass adds just the right amount of elegance without overwhelming the space.

Functional Features with a Style Edge

This kitchen is designed for both aesthetics and functionality. The Siena 1 bowl composite undermount sink in Basalt, from Sterling, offers a sleek, seamless appearance. The addition of a brass waste provides a luxe touch that complements the sink’s dark tone, while the Quooker round patinated brass tap adds a hint of vintage charm to this otherwise modern space.

Illuminating the Design: Thoughtful Lighting

To create an inviting atmosphere, we’ve integrated plinth strip lighting at floor level and recessed spotlights under the top boxes. These recessed lights, finished with brass bezels, provide a warm glow that complements the antique brass accents throughout the kitchen, enhancing the overall ambiance.

Cutting-Edge Appliances for Seamless Integration

At the heart of this kitchen’s functionality are the appliances, all carefully chosen to align with the modern aesthetic. The NEFF collection includes a Slide & Hide Single Oven with Pyrolytic Cleaning, a Compact Oven with Microwave, a Warming Drawer, and an Integrated Coffee Machine, all finished with sleek graphite grey trims. The 60cm venting hob ensures ventilation without the need for a bulky extractor, maintaining the streamlined look.

For refrigeration, the 50/50 split integrated fridge freezer offers ample storage space while remaining concealed within the cabinetry. The kitchen also features a 15cm wide freestanding wine cooler—perfect for keeping your favourite bottles at the ideal temperature.

Bespoke Storage Solutions

Maximising storage without compromising style, this kitchen includes a 150mm spice pull-out, an integrated pull-out bin, and a cleverly hidden space tower for pantry storage. Below the ovens, we’ve added fibre matting and dividers in the drawers for easy organisation of trays and utensils. To top it all off, a bespoke oak cutlery drawer adds a personal, crafted touch, combining elegance with practicality.

A Balance of Modern Minimalism and Timeless Craftsmanship

This kitchen strikes the perfect balance between modern minimalism and timeless craftsmanship, with each element carefully considered to create a harmonious design. Whether it’s the bold slab doors, the luxurious Calacatta Oro quartz, or the antique brass accents, every detail works together to create a space that is both functional and beautiful.
