Bespoke Kitchen
Green Oak Contemporary Property |Sussex

This bespoke kitchen was created for an exceptional green oak contemporary property, where craftsmanship, materiality and spatial flow were all central to the brief. Set within a completely open-plan ground floor, the kitchen forms part of a generous living environment designed to connect seamlessly with the surrounding gardens and grounds. The architectural rhythm of the green oak structure informs the palette, with soft, tonal colours used throughout the cabinetry, island and La Cornue range to create a sense of harmony and continuity across the space.

At the heart of the room, a unique curved island shapes the kitchen’s identity. Its gentle form enhances the openness of the plan, softening transitions and guiding movement naturally through the space. Generous walkways were carefully planned to ensure ease of circulation, allowing the room to feel expansive, calm and intuitively arranged. Painted cabinetry provides a refined, understated backdrop, while the La Cornue, with its subtle copper accents, introduces a focal point of quiet luxury. Hand-selected tiles and an antique mirror splashback add texture, depth and a crafted elegance that sits comfortably within the contemporary green oak setting.

 Beyond the main kitchen, we designed a series of supporting spaces that enhance the home’s functionality. A second kitchen, doubling as a laundry, provides valuable additional preparation and utility space. A practical boot room and dedicated dog room ensure the everyday needs of family life are effortlessly accommodated, while tailored wine storage brings a thoughtful, personal touch.

Completing the ground floor, a handcrafted home office sits in dialogue with the building’s green oak beams. Designed to blend seamlessly with the architectural language of the house, it offers a workspace that is both functional and beautifully integrated.

Together, these spaces form a cohesive environment where bespoke design, natural materials and contemporary living come together with quiet confidence.
