BATHROOMS & KITCHENS fingerprint technology which is good for kitchens that are designed to host. It’ s also a bonus to counteract fingerprints on surfaces when children are growing up.
“ The customer particularly liked the earthy tones of our Mineral Green and Havanah Oak door front, which looks fantastic in this two-tone kitchen design. There was also the requirement to maximise the storage space, therefore we made use of our XL base units and made sure they had plenty of useful internal solutions including drawer units and pullout gadgets.
“ The kitchen also features white Quartz worktops, an incredibly tough and durable option which is resistant to stains and cracks. Kutchenhaus was able to offer an array of colours and options overall which meant we could fit the taste of both Sophia and Khuram.”
Rob adds:“ As the building project hit a slight delay, we had to store the kitchen for the customer as it had already arrived in the warehouse from our factory in Germany. We are lucky to work with a logistics supplier who was able to accommodate the storage for the customer, to avoid having to find space for a kitchen on site while works were still taking place.”
FAVOURITE ELEMENTS OF THE FINISHED PROJECT
Emilie says:“ I think the big accomplishment with the property was that the finished project showcased perfect scale. The scale of the space is just right, which means using the kitchen is natural and there’ s an ease of access to appliances and ingredients, clear views to the garden and the rest of the home.
APPLIANCES
A full suite of new Bosch appliances was selected for the Bishopston project.
Rob explains:“ All the appliances chosen were black, which means they really contrast beautifully with the mineral green of the kitchen and the white surfaces too. The fridge in particular is a large, dark product which adds to the contemporary space and brings a modern feel to the entire room.”
CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME
The biggest challenge for Emilie to overcome when planning the space was the lighting. Because there were different ceiling levels and skylights, selecting lighting and making sure it was the right lighting was critical for the kitchen to work properly.
“ This makes the entire room very pleasing to the eye and this is possible because the layout was worked on extensively so that we got the scale right.
“ Additionally, Khuram and Sophie were willing to spend on their lighting to create the ambience of the room. For this they used Delta Light to install high lights which creates the perfect mood.”
Rob continues:“ I think the island is also a standout as it needed to function for a chef, almost. This meant we needed the highest quality product, and with this, very high-spec ovens too. This takes the kitchen to the next level as you know it has both style and substance.”
