Green Handleless Traditional Mapesbury Shaker – Essex
This is a very special project we couldn’t wait to share with you and has to be one of our favourites to date. Our clients wanted a kitchen and living areas that would better suit their lifestyle, a space that’s simply a joy to be in. As we all know the kitchen is no longer confined to a simple cooking area, it has evolved into a central hub for socialising, unwinding, family moments and versatile living.
As the home’s main hub, this lovely couple didn’t want to compromise on any design details. On their wish list (in no particular order) was; a central island with a large bespoke pedestal table, a range of Sub-Zero Wolf appliances, symmetry within the design, bespoke storage solutions and an instant hot water tap.
After the initial meet and greet, our clients took a walk around our beautiful designs in the showroom – they were instantly drawn to the Mapesbury handleless design. They wanted something a little different than the traditional shaker – a design to leave a lasting impression. Working with their needs and space we came up with a single galley layout where the sink was positioned underneath the window, an island placed in front full of storage and worktop space and additional floor-to-ceiling stand-alone furniture.
Taking our attention to the rich and deep cabinetry, Studio Green by Farrow & Ball is one of the OG’s of the colour palette and the darkest green. It’s one of those colours that delivers fantastic shading and tonal ranges in the light – totally worth the investment. It looks fantastic paired with white and stainless steel accents.
This then takes us to the statement kitchen island – a piece of furniture that elevates our client’s entertaining game. The design and functionality of this space make it the perfect stage for memorable gatherings. Stool seating was a detail that the family were particularly keen to incorporate and opted for a neutral material. Configured to flow around the circular pedestal table at the end of the island, it not only softens the space but is a convenient way to increase the amount of seating for a truly sociable cooking environment.
To get in on the action of creating the best culinary experiences in the world, Sub-Zero Wolf appliances were chosen.
The statement is the Sub-Zero French Door Fridge Freezer 1067mm in bespoke housing. Experience the ultimate in food preservation with Sub-Zero refrigeration. Unmatched in design and technology, it isn’t just a fridge, it’s a statement of culinary excellence. Whether you have a large family or have a simple love for entertaining, this fridge has amazing storage options and is the best for food preservation!
Join the world-known chefs and realise your culinary creativity with Wolf banked appliances. Iconic, expertly engineered and trusted by professionals, they’re the secret ingredient for elevating your meals. This bank consists of a Wolf Transitional Convection Steam Oven and a Wolf Transitional Single Oven.
To add to the culinary experience is the Wolf 914mm Transitional Induction Hob, sitting next to the bank and underneath a bespoke mantle and a Wolf Toaster.
In another section of the kitchen is a multi-purpose cupboard which utilises the extra storage space. This has been completed with Armac Martin Bespoke Grilles for ventilation on the air conditioning cupboard.
Working in a large open-plan space deserves our bespoke furniture in every corner and our fitted wall entertainment units can help bring cinematic experiences to life.
Our utility rooms connect to the kitchen, a purposeful design that elevates the heart of the home. We have seamlessly integrated our Mapesbury design into the adjacent space of this kitchen project. We have unleashed the potential for a laundry room in this beautiful home and created a serene green additional working space that is a true resemblance to our craftsmanship.
