How do you stop a big, white modern extension from feeling too clinical? You trade perfection for character. The challenge was to integrate a pristine new kitchen into a home full of history, ensuring the two felt connected rather than colliding.
Instead of plastering over the past, we framed it. That incredible exposed sandstone wall became the anchor for the whole design. We placed the 1500mm Lacanche range centrally against it, allowing the crisp, painted joinery to contrast with the rough, historic stone. It instantly warms up the room and stops the space from feeling too “new.”
This project proves that sleek, modern design can live happily inside an old stone house. It’s open-plan, but it still feels intimate.
