Designed for a modern family home in Islington, London, this kitchen utilised distressed, stained oak and oiled ash in the creation of a tactile, contemporary, crafted interior. The architecture of the space is defined by large roof lights, and so darker tones could be incorporated in the materials pallet, which were brought to life in a room filled with light.

Hidden doors give access to a walk-in pantry and other areas of the ground floor, and a full-height wine fridge adjacent to the dining area makes entertaining a breeze. A large kitchen island, with seating for 5, helps the family to gather in the heart of their home.
