These clients Joy and Brian had plans drawn up by a local architect for their extension, an Orangery with windows around three sides. David took a look at the site and redesigned the proposal with only one wall of full-height folding doors, which allowed views over the grounds from the main aspect only. Having two full walls, allowed for the siting of a wonderful limestone fireplace with tall carved overmantel, the placement of large statement pieces of furniture and mirrors which were the focal point.

The Orangery is entered through the new kitchen, with its main focal point being the Elica Star crystal extractor over the large central island. The creams of the hand-painted bespoke units sit beautifully with the off white granite work surface. The accents of the elegant carved walnut pilasters work alongside the feature zebrano drawer fronts and pewter handles.

We wanted to create pockets of freestanding furniture to create an elegant sophisticated look, even the sink run is styled on a cupboard fitment, with the granite worksurface extending up the wall with a deep curve which allows for a wall-mounted tap. A Zip tap, which gives instantaneous boiling and chilled filtered water, is a 'must have' accessory. The appliance fitment houses all Neff equipment, with Coffee Machine, Warming Drawer, Steam Oven, Microwave and combination oven, in brushed stainless steel.

This new kitchen & orangery is sensational with exquisite furniture and soft-furnishings.
