The brief
The house had good bones and a 1990s kitchen nobody wanted to stand in. The owners cook every night and wanted the kitchen to become the room everyone ends up in.
What we changed
We stripped the laminate back to the walls, limewashed them in a warm bone white and built a long run of walnut cabinets under the garden window. The terrazzo floor carries straight through to the dining room.
