Signature Bespoke Scandi-style Kitchen Featuring EWE Handleless Furniture

As part of a modern extension to a 1930’s property, Searle & Taylor was commissioned to design and create a contemporary minimalist Scandi-style kitchen that combines muted earth tones with matt textures and bespoke blond oak furniture. The clients, a professional couple with three young children, wanted a practical kitchen with easy-to-clean surfaces and lots of storage to maintain a stylish and uncluttered look to the open plan room. We suggested they opt for contemporary lacquered laminated handleless furniture by Austrian brand, EWE, that includes carcases, internal storage, pull-out drawers and slab doors in White and Fango colourways. We then suggested that all other natural oak cabinetry was designed and made bespoke by Searle & Taylor to perfectly exemplify the Danish aesthetic. Designed in an L-shape with a central island, this kitchen is split into practical zoned areas. The handleless white cabinetry that faces the island comprises the sink run that includes cupboards, pull-out bins, two 60cm integrated dishwashers by Siemens and a Caple undercounter wine cooler. At the centre of the 20mm Calacatta Gold Suede worktop with specially fabricated drainer grooves is an undermount sink by Franke and a patinated brass Quooker Fusion 3-in-1 boiling water tap. On either side are two bespoke blond oak dresser cabinets with on-trend reeded glass panels and patinated brass handles. The same blonde oak under-cloak bridges both sides at the base of the overhead cabinetry, which also features LED lighting strips, adjustable for task lighting and for warmer tones. The tall run is integrated into the wall for a clean and uninterrupted look. It features tall cabinetry in Fango, a neutral earth tone colourway and comprises further storage cupboards with two Miele 60cm ovens positioned side-by-side. On either side of this central bank are tall cooling appliances, a tall larder fridge by Siemens and a fully integrated tall freezer with internal ice-maker by Liebherr. The kitchen island combines form with function, featuring clean lines throughout. It features the same Calacatta Gold Suede worksurface, which has been built up to 60mm thickness with waterfall end panels on either side, presenting a flowing effect. Mounted within the surface is a Novy Easy recirculation vented induction hob, and with no requirement for overhead extraction, there are three natural oak pendant lights by Tom Raffield. The task side features pull-out drawers along the run, together with a built-in 29cm warming drawer by Siemens. The facing side features blonde oak designed in a typical Scandi vertical slatted aesthetic, with a quirky bespoke twist. It comprises three side-by-side concealed deep cabinets with push-to-open doors. This side of the island also features an overhang to accommodate bar stools by Where Saints Go.

Blue & Oak Scandi-Style Kitchen in St Albans

Audus Kitchens

This kitchen in St Albans was created as part of a new entertainment space, designed to bring family and friends together. Our clients wanted a bright and open space that could be used for both everyday life and entertaining. With a preference for a Scandi-inspired look, we achieved this by choosing our handleless range in a stunning combination of Fjord Blue, Sand and Como Oak. This mix of shades adds character and warmth while maintaining a clean and minimalist look. Worktops are 20mm AG Silestone in Nolita Suede, supplied by Algarve Granite. The subtle tone enhances the natural textures of the scheme, offering a refined surface that’s both practical and elegant. Appliances are by Siemens, ensuring modern performance and seamless integration. A Blanco sink and Quooker tap provide added functionality, keeping the kitchen efficient without compromising on design. The layout has been tailored to the client’s request for a true entertainment space, featuring a walk-in larder and dedicated wine storage for easy access during gatherings. With ample space for family and friends, the result is a kitchen that combines style and sociability.

Ameo Concept

Situé au cœur de la dynamique ville de Puteaux, à deux pas de La Défense, cet appartement de 28m2 était dans un état de détérioration avancé, résultante de l’absence de travaux pendant plusieurs décennies. Malgré son état défraîchi, la présence d’un jardin à l’avant du bien conquis immédiatement la propriétaire qui y vu un atout majeur. Investissement en guise de pied à terre, le cahier des charges était clair : créer un espace nuit indépendant, condamner l’accès par les parties communes pour entrer dans l’appartement par le jardin, le tout dans une ambiance épurée et lumineuse. Résultat : un espace extérieur métamorphosé avec une terrasse accueillante, donnant l’accès à la pièce à vivre. Une cuisine fonctionnelle où de nombreux rangements se combinent à l’électroménager dissimulé (lave vaisselle et réfrigérateur sous plan), s’articule autour d’un espace dînatoire sur mesure pour trois convives. Le sanitaire indépendant prend place avant l’accès à « la suite ». La chambre en second jour baignée de lumière grâce à la verrière en tête de lit, abrite un linéaire dressing et une bibliothèque. Enfin, la salle d’eau dévoile une belle douche de 130x90cm, combiné à un plan vasque sous lequel se dissimule le lave linge encastré. Les matériaux naturels se conjuguent à la praticité d’usage ; un carrelage effet parquet au sol de l’ensemble de la surface réchauffe l’atmosphère. Béton ciré, peinture à la chaux, tissus chinés et lumières indirectes créent ainsi un cocon chaleureux où les nuances de blancs et de beiges s’unissent. Un projet clé en main intérieur/extérieur pour ce nouveau deux pièces métamorphosé.

Sullo sfondo, una porta-finestra si apre su un terrazzo con una vista spettacolare su un lago. L'ambiente è dominato da colori neutri e materiali naturali, come il legno chiaro del pavimento.
