This smart, urban kitchen in a renovated Georgian property is fresh and modern, yet timelessly stylish with classic touches, such as crittall windows and an alluring marble elemental. Created to optimise a challenging space, the design forms a balance between serious functionality and an overall aesthetic of simplicity through light and dark contrasts.

The central aspect is a beautifully mitred and book-matched straited marble island that divides the room, serving as both a practical working zone and a high impact design statement. The lustrous handle-less units have walnut veneered interiors and specially created storage that includes a tall slender glassware cabinet and a larder for dry goods and small appliances.
