what is a contemporary kitchen? |
|
When you start asking
questions about why something has to look and be built in a certain
way, you open the door into new possibilities and solutions |

Illustrated
above is a kitchen island. An island is an organic shape. This one is made from laminated Ash plywood, supported on stainless steel pedestals and the hob set into sandblasted toughened glass The adjacent base and wall cupboard doors gently curve in a wave around the room Lets get away from straight lines and be more fluid. That was the challenge here |

The stainless
steel and sycamore kitchen was built to replace an over fussy stained
wood kitchen in what was a very dark and cramped room. The brief was light, functional, simple modern. Reflective stainless steel surfaces, flat cabinet fronts do away with doors everything in drawers & pullouts and just a few whimsical ideas like the recesses in the sycamore end panels At the far end in what was a small flat roof extension with very little light, the roof was taken off, glass ceiling fitted and generous French windows. The resulting room was unrecognisable. A breath of fresh air, a place of light |

The Gothic
kitchen, view
1 and view
2, was built for a family who live on the edge of the welsh mountains
in a stone cottage. They wanted a painted kitchen with thick oak surfaces
but something that made it that little bit different. The room had a tall
gabled, beamed roof reminiscent of a chapel The gothic shaped glass panels were exactly what was required, simple but delightfully appropriate. Sometimes it is as simple as that |
