“The kitchen has a wealth
of storage, with a lot of this provided within the island,” says
Shallard. “There is also a separate scullery that can be closed
off from view with sliding
doors. The owners undertake
all the food preparation in this
part of the kitchen, where there
is a refrigerator and a separate
sink.”

continuity, an extended fire
surround at the opposite end
of the room features similar
raw concrete, blackened steel
and black-stained American
white oak panels.
Stone floor tiles also help to
