An impressive island creates a sleek stage for living in this beautiful, minimal family kitchen design in Windsor. The client's love for cooking and entertaining as a family was a key consideration in the design process. We worked closely with Lewandowski Architects to bring the concept for the new bespoke-style kitchen design to life and ensure a seamless flow between the kitchen and the connecting living spaces, indoors and outdoors.

This Oxfordshire country home was the result of a brilliant team including Riach Architects, Interior designer Catherine Willman and flooring specialists Minoli tiles.

For a client that loves entertaining, a sociable kitchen living space was really important. The design also had to complement the modern finish of this rural residence. 

A wide wall run of bulthaup b3 furniture features Gaggenau ovens and cooling appliances as well as an extremely functional alcove situated opposite the hob on the island providing an ergonomic layout between prepping and cooking. A raised bar on the end of the island allows guests and family to easily speak to the cook whilst food is being prep and also creates a connection between the indoors and out on a sunny day.

An added bar area with wine fridge keeps the kitchen space uncluttered, especially when entertaining.

Bespoke elements and timeless design come together in a bulthaup kitchen within a contemporary extension to an Arts and Crafts family home. 

The black-brown structured oak cabinetry creates an atmospheric and refined feel, elevated by the golden undertone of the bespoke Burmese antique silvered mirror and anchored by the polished concrete flooring. 

The open-plan layout includes a tall block and a central island with a raised bar, which leads into a hidden pantry behind the main kitchen.

Beyond the central kitchen is a bespoke wine room with soft seating that opens to the outdoor kitchen and garden. This is a perfect set-up for everyday life and year-round entertaining.

With its bulthaup kitchen furniture and Teddy Edwards cabinetry a striking modern kitchen living space has been created where minimalism meets bespoke statement design. This show-stopping kitchen designed by Kitchen Architecture isn't just a place to cook; it's a statement living space ideal for entertaining and grand dining. The clients, a family of four with a busy professional schedule, envisioned a space that seamlessly blended modern minimalism with a touch of warmth and natural beauty. The result is both visually striking and perfectly suited to their needs.

Set on the shores of the Channel Islands with sweeping views of a stunning beach, bulthaup b3 furniture in Kaolin laminate/Clay with natural brass complements the coastal-inspired muted palette in this contemporary new-build home created for a family who love to entertain.

The island, with its incredible sea views, has a wooden bar at one end and is conveniently placed by the dining table. The bar seating and long benches are perfect for informal dining and entertaining family and friends. An elegant utility room, created by pairing bulthaup furniture with Rimadesio sliding doors, provides storage without compromising on style.

Working closely with interior designer Amanda Durham, coastal decor, luxurious and natural materials and meticulous attention to detail complete the look.

This bulthaup kitchen living space has become a hub of the home for a family of five and doubles up as a versatile entertaining area for dinner parties, standing events, and impromptu drinks.

The island, with its view of the garden, enhances the owner’s cooking experience, while the mix of cooking surfaces (induction, gas, and teppanyaki) offers flexibility in cooking styles. With healthy balanced meals always a top priority for our wonderful client, the appliances being chosen were always going to play a crucial part in the final layout.

Storage was a key consideration, so in addition to the large island, there is a hidden pantry, and vast work surfaces provide plenty of space to prep and serve. A raised bar provides a practical solution for everyday use beyond breakfast, and an outdoor kitchen creates a secondary cooking space that our clients enjoy using frequently, especially in the summer. The outdoor kitchen has a charcoal grill, gas grill, and gas hob to cook meals outside—ideal for family and entertaining. An adjoining bar and stools create a very sociable space. The space is a fine example of a designer and client working together to deliver a sociable kitchen living space that works for them.
