Our clients wanted to turn a former lounge with a tricky vaulted ceiling into the ultimate party room. With a large adult family, the brief was simple: create a space that can host 40 people without breaking a sweat.
Symmetry creates calm. We built two identical “step-in” niches into the walls. On the left: a substantial walk-in pantry for dry goods. On the right: a dedicated wine store with bespoke X-frame racking. When he saw the finished joinery, the client realised he’d need to order 400 bottles to fill it. We suspect he rose to the challenge.
For the serious baker, we designed a cabinet with roll-back doors that disappear completely, no hinges getting in the way of the mixer. Lighting was critical. In a room this big, you can’t just rely on ceiling spots. We layered light into the furniture itself, under canopies and inside cabinets, so the room shifts from bright workspace to atmospheric bar at the flick of a switch.
We installed a fully equipped wet bar with its own sink, dishwasher, and fridges. It’s effectively a second kitchen. This keeps the guests topped up and – crucially – keeps them out of the chef’s way.
With a ‘party-size’ 4.5-metre island, this kitchen works as hard as it looks. Grand in scale, but effortless in practice.
