DESIGN ’ D LIVING
Airline ovens are unusual sizing , so Design ’ d Living had to work with kitchen fitters to create a custom housing for them , and because they were a focal point for the client , the team made sure they were central to the design and on show like traditional ovens . The team also had to work with electrical contractors as they required large transformers due to the ovens working on different voltages .
Design ’ d Living created a room for the freezer that was at the back of the space – allowing easy access to the carparks and minimal disturbance to the meeting space . They also created a separate kitchen space within this to allow the En Route staff to walk in and out of the freezer and have a working space which was all behind a closed door . Appliances were sourced from Miele and Caple , and worktops were made from Techni Stone .
Rob Lessmann , founder of Design ’ d Living and head designer shares his thoughts on the finished project : “ This was a complex brief , it had to be a multi zoned area that acted as a first class lounge , a kitchen , breakout meeting room and large conference space . The challenge was finding furniture that would encompass all these needs , so we went bold and big . Despite their size , the seating was easy to move and immediately made a bold design statement . The space was to be bright , welcoming and functional , all aspects we love when creating commercial spaces that don ’ t always have the luxury of natural daylight .”
