The brief

Where it started

This character townhouse needed a kitchen with more working space and a proper place to sit and eat, without losing the details that give the home its charm.

The decisions that made it work

3 decisions, and why I made them.

01Move a door, gain a roomThe powder room door moved to the living room side and is hidden in panelling. That freed the alcove for a built-in oak banquette with a round table, a dining nook that didn’t exist before.02A workspace behind pocket doorsA walnut-lined niche set into the cabinetry opens for appliances and prep, effectively doubling the usable counter, then closes away when it’s not in use.03Character, keptSage green cabinetry, brass and panelling suit the townhouse’s age, so the new work feels like it has always been there.
