"Bathed in natural light, the high-gloss white kitchen cabinets create an abundance of storage space and being discreet and handleless in design, the furniture never feels excessive or visually overbearing." KITCHENS The l-shaped island is grounded by a highly reflective supporting pillar that is clad in mirrored glass from worktop-to-ceiling and this creates a lovely focal point in the room. Ultra-modern pendant lights sit overhead, to ensure the worktop space always has the right level of task lighting, subject to mood and/or occasion. Beneath, Brandt Design include an integrated wine cabinet and position it directly opposite the living room area for easy access and a heightened sense of luxury when relaxing at home or entertaining guests. Bathed in natural light, the high-gloss white kitchen cabinets create an abundance of storage space and being discreet and handleless in design, the furniture never feels excessive or visually overbearing. This run of cabinetry makes way for a tall bank of cooking appliances and fridge freezer, to the left beneath the sink and tap area, base units cleverly conceal extra utilities including a practical dishwasher and washing machine. Maximising every inch of available storage space, custom floor-to-ceiling storage units keep the kitchen wellorganised and the worksurfaces free from clutter: essential when living open plan. Designed and fitted by Brandt Design, this project embraces the homeowners love of clean lines, modern art and unique design features. Scott Davis, Director at Brandt Design, says “Creating this kitchen for a new-build ground floor, meant we could design a full open plan arrangement that brings three separate areas of the home – kitchen, dining and living - into one inclusive space. Principally, our aim was to create a user-friendly, ergonomic kitchen living space that captures the homeowner’s personal style, home architecture and social lifestyle.” 57
