A Cuffley Whole-Home Renovation

Designed to meet our client’s needs, this home renovation in Cuffley commissioned us to design and build a bespoke kitchen, pantry and utility room complete with everything on their wishlist. This home now serves as a luxury oasis.

The home was bought with the intention of a complete renovation and extension, where the existing layout would change and separate rooms would be created to allow the homeowners to bring their culinary delights to life. Each room would flow with the others and bring a timeless charm, creating joyful spaces where everyone could thrive and grow.

We started our collaboration with the couple where we understood their needs and lifestyle. The initial vision was clear: an open-plan space to become the central place to entertain and create memories, and bespoke handmade furniture in all areas with lots of storage. The wishlist included a bespoke plate holder, pull-out storage, a Sub-Zero French Door fridge freezer and a walk-in pantry.

School House White and Studio Green Palette

From the outset, the couple had a vision of bringing earthy tones to their open-plan space, colours that would translate to a sense of comfort and welcome. With the room being an expansive open-plan space with lots of natural light drawn in from the large windows, a neutral colour palette seemed the perfect choice.

School House White, Farrow and Ball’s lightest neutral, has been hand-painted onto the main units of the kitchen. This soft white is reminiscent of the colour used in old school houses, hence the name.

Studio Green was hand-painted onto the island to create a timeless focal point. This deep, dark green is one of Farrow and Ball’s original colours and the rich pigments shown within respond extraordinarily to all types of light.

Studio Green Island with Misterio Quartz

Transforming the layout and taking centre stage is the rich, deep island in a long rectangular shape. The logic of the layout ensured an efficient flow with other areas of the kitchen, so the island could be the sole place to entertain.

Grand chairs sit on one end to provide comfort, and a worktop of Misterio quartz harmoniously intertwines for a reflective surface and the perfect place to serve nibbles.

Shaws Shaker Sink and a Bespoke Plate Rack

Along the main cabinetry, you find the most delightful sink area featuring a Shaws Shaker sink, a Perrin and Rowe Ionian tap in aged brass and a patinated brass Quooker PRO3 Classic Fusion with CUBE.

Elevating the simplicity of this row of handsome cabinetry and British elegance is the antiqued mirror splashback. The eye-catching sink area does not stop there: it is also where our client’s item from the kitchen wishlist sits, the pretty plate rack. This bespoke and handcrafted feature adds a charming, rustic touch to the kitchen and encourages a more organised approach.

Rangemaster Professional+ 100 Beneath a Bespoke Mantle

We have truly embraced British culture along the main cabinetry with the Rangemaster Professional+ 100 dual fuel range cooker in stainless steel. A touch of British timeless charm to promote an enduring style in this beautiful handmade kitchen design.

Above the Rangemaster is a Westin Cache extractor built into a lovely shaped mantle with supporting corbels, an architectural detail that turns the cooking area into a quietly classical focal point.

Sub-Zero French Door Fridge Freezer in Bespoke Joinery

Something else on our client’s wishlist was the Sub-Zero 1067mm French Door over and under fridge freezer, the ultimate appliance in refrigeration, designed to improve your day and night.

Part of the kitchen triangle, this meticulously crafted stainless steel fridge freezer brings fresher food for longer and a professional quality to the home, all built with beautiful handcrafted furniture surrounding it.

To keep the appliances within easy reach of one another, the kitchen island also houses a wine cooler, the perfect addition for an entertaining kitchen.

Hidden Breakfast Larder with Bi-fold Doors

Keep all morning items in a breakfast larder hidden away but instantly accessible as required. We were appointed to create a double breakfast cupboard in the space alongside the Sub-Zero fridge freezer. This became the ideal place to prepare the morning breakfast routine.

With masses of storage space beneath for dinnerware and serveware, the bi-fold doors open to reveal countertop space for making breakfast. A microwave is integrated above with additional shelving to store clear glass jars, so that everything is on hand on busy mornings.

Walk-In Pantry Behind a Green Pocket Door

Go beyond conventional storage solutions and build a walk-in pantry connected to your kitchen. Separated by a dark green pocket door that matches the island, we are instantly met with an alluring bespoke walk-in pantry elevating the kitchen essentials.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the beautiful veins found in the Misterio quartz to the rich green of Farrow and Ball Studio Green and the exquisite aged brass Armac Martin handles, every aspect inspires a beautiful design.

The combination of a Shaws sink and Perrin and Rowe Ionian tap with rinse and white porcelain levers adds to the seamless and sophisticated kitchen routine and the British flair our client wanted to keep throughout the project.

Bootility in School House White

Sophisticated and elegant, this bootility is designed to keep the space organised and stylish to match the rest of the home. Keeping the laundry chores out of view, this space has been delicately hand-painted in School House White by Farrow and Ball, just like the kitchen, and built in our Classic In-Frame Shaker style. There is an abundance of space to store every cleaning product you can think of.

Further functions of the room include Bosch appliances at eye level, pull-out laundry basket drawers below, Misterio quartz worktops, a Shaws of Darwen sink and a Perrin and Rowe Ionian tap with rinse and white porcelain levers.

Handcrafted Bench Storage and Armac Martin Hardware

Something we particularly love about this design is the handcrafted bench storage. The closed cabinets keep items neatly out of sight behind our beautifully crafted doors, while the open shelves display the items you want close to hand. Our client has chosen to display their fresh linens here.

Keeping the same elegance throughout the three rooms, Armac Martin Merrick and Cotswold handles are seen in this most luxurious bootility room, threading the brass language through every space.
