With this semi detached house in North London we aimed to increase the existing floor area of a previous extension that was built in the 80's. We introduced as much daylight as we could and opened up the space by removing an internal courtyard. We also increased the ceiling height where we could. We worked with our clients with the internal finishes allowing them to explore materials themselves. Together we put together a great space full of personality, light and space.

New Construction- The big challenge of this kitchen was the lack of wall cabinet space due to the large number of windows, and the client’s desire to have furniture in the kitchen . The view over a private lake is worth the trade, but finding a place to put dishes and glasses became problematic. The house was designed by Architect, Jack Jenkins and he allowed for a walk in pantry around the corner that accommodates smaller countertop appliances, food and a second refrigerator. Back at the Kitchen, Dishes & glasses were placed in drawers that were customized to accommodate taller tumblers. Base cabinets included rollout drawers to maximize the storage. The bookcase acts as a mini-drop off for keys on the way out the door. A second oven was placed on the island, so the microwave could be placed higher than countertop level on one of the only walls in the kitchen. Wall space was exclusively dedicated to appliances. The furniture pcs in the kitchen was selected and designed into the plan with dish storage in mind, but feels spontaneous in this casual and warm space. Homeowners have grown children, who are often home. Their extended family is very large family. Father’s Day they had a small gathering of 24 people, so the kitchen was the heart of activity. The house has a very restful feel and casually entertain often.Multiple work zones for multiple people. Plenty of space to lay out buffet style meals for large gatherings.Sconces at window, slat board walls, brick tile backsplash, Bathroom Vanity, Mudroom, & Kitchen Space designed by Tara Hutchens CKB, CBD (Designer at Splash Kitchens & Baths) Finishes and Styling by Cathy Winslow (owner of Splash Kitchens & Baths) Photos by Tom Harper.

The raw appeal of industrial style was the inspiration for this inner-city Sydney couple, who drew from the past to create a modern space. Balancing various textures and finishes adds character to the kitchen - from the pairing of gloss and timber-grain cabinetry to the Sleek Concrete Caesarstone benchtops, and shiny stainless steel appliances. Linear in design, the kitchen is compact yet functional, showing off some of the buildings best assets such as the exposed brick wall and high ceilings. Features: • Cabinetry in Alaskan Gloss White and Impressions Burnished Wood Nuance (vertical grain) • Aluminium Linear Handles • Benchtop in Caesarstone Sleek Concrete

Major renovation to a beautiful old Victorian outside of Boston. We opened up the kitchen to expose the original pantry, restored the old wood cabinets and painted the interiors a beautiful shade of navy blue. Exposed brick and added on a much needed mudroom and new entry to the kitchen, we were able to expose the back stair case and added batten and board on the walls. Beautiful.
