Black House in Kent
Freshness and light in the kitchen whilst enjoying the views
BRIEF
Take in the views
A practical space to encourage freshness and light and able to enjoy the views whilst working in the kitchen.
CHALLENGE
Overcoming the issues
More than a touch of accuracy was needed when designing and installing the back wall of this kitchen. With open walkways at both ends it was vital that the bespoke panelling surrounding the kitchen cabinetry fitted perfectly, providing a simple frame for the transition between kitchen and Utility areas.
The SieMatic furniture order was split into separate deliveries so the exact measurements could be taken once the walls and opening cabinets were in place.
Set toward the rear of a stunning cantilevered piece of architecture this kitchen needed to command itself as a backdrop to spectacular woodland views.

OUTCOME
Radiating life for its owners
Whilst it needed to remain practical for the owners, who selected a Total Heat Aga for warmth and traditional cooking, it also oozes simplicity and sophistication, with the use of an induction cooktop and steam combination cooking for added flexibility together with a state-of-the-art Quooker Fusion tap for instant hot, cold and boiling water.
The island is flanked by dramatic Eco Riverbed which sets the island as a statement piece in the centre of the room and offers a correlation to both the architecture and its organic setting.
The end result was so incredible, this house reached the final of Grand Designs House of the Year 2019!
It’s how you feel in the space that gives you pleasure…..one of my biggest pleasures is the inside-out thing. The compelling views out to the orchard & garden and then with my back to the room I have it again through the mirror splashback - when I’m cooking I can see everyone in the room and beyond.
