This unusually shaped kitchen in Blackheath has been completely refurbished. Clever design has been used to maximise functionality in the space available by including a waterfall island with a reduced side to mirror the shape of the room, tall units that reach right up to the ceiling and reduced depth cupboards on one of the walls. The beautifully sleek German black cabinets have been complimented with striking Dekton Trillium stone from Cosentino.

This magnificent Georgian town house is located in the heart of historic Winchester. The house had been restored by its previous owners, but the new owners felt it lacked the unique character suitable for a traditional home of this period. Commissioning the antique dealer, furniture designer and decorator Max Rollitt, the rooms have been re-imagined, including the kitchen and pantry which were designed by Max Rollitt and made by us.

The kitchen, located in the lower ground floor, was updated with bespoke cabinetry fitted around the chimney breast with a range cooker within the existing fireplace.

This contemporary kitchen in London is a stunning display of modern design, seamlessly blending style and sustainability.
The focal point of the kitchen is the impressive XMATT range in a sleek Matt Black finish crafted from recycled materials. This choice not only reflects a modern aesthetic but also emphasises the kitchen's dedication to sustainability. In contrast, the overhead cabinetry is finished in crisp white, adding a touch of brightness and balance to the overall aesthetic.
The worktop is a masterpiece in itself, featuring Artscut Bianco Mysterio 20mm Quartz, providing a durable and stylish surface for meal preparation.
The kitchen is equipped with a state-of-the-art Bora hob, combining functionality and design innovation. Fisher & Paykel ovens and an integrated fridge freezer further enhance the functionality of the space while maintaining a sleek and cohesive appearance. These appliances are known for their performance and energy efficiency, aligning seamlessly with the kitchen's commitment to sustainability.
A built-in larder, complete with shelves and drawers, provides ample storage for a variety of food items and small appliances. This cleverly designed feature enhances organisation and efficiency in the space.

Sally was asked to design and oversee the complete refurbishment of this stunning yet poorly converted one bedroom apartment set in a handsome period mansion block on the outskirts of Covent Garden in Central London.
Enormously high ceilings give this apartment a New York lofty feel while large original windows flood the space with natural light. Sally discovered that original windows and decorative pillars had been boarded up and so immediately set about reinstating these unique period features. A streamlined kitchen with expansive lightly veined worktops and contemporary oak cabinetry was designed to compliment a classic oak parquet floor, giving the apartment a light, contemporary and natural feel.

Bright, shaker style compact kitchen with dining peninsula, decorated in a fun, Spring palette and finished with pretty, vintage style lighting, fabrics and furnishing details.

This Belsize Park kitchen combines classic panelled cabinetry with more contemporary detailing, including a curved peninsula finished with a fluted back panel and integrated seating. The cabinetry is painted in Paint & Paper Library Cashmere I and fitted with Hendel & Hendel Liberty brushed satin brass handles in mixed 160mm and 320mm sizes. Tall housing units incorporate a built-in fridge freezer alongside the oven stack, helping maximise storage within a relatively compact footprint. The peninsula also accommodates a Caple wine cooler, while the 30mm TechniStone Calacatta Olympos worktop and splashback continue throughout the space for a consistent finish.

A seamless blend of practicality and understated elegance. This kitchen pairs warm copper accents with a soft, neutral backdrop, creating a space that feels both modern and welcoming. The statement backsplash and coordinating island lighting draw the eye, while smart storage solutions ensure everything has its place. We thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with our clients on their stylish home, bringing their vision to life through a carefully considered design.
Carefully considered. Beautifully executed. Kitchens designed for living

Situated just south of Kensington Palace and Gardens (one of the most prestigious locations in London), we find this lovely slim U-shaped kitchen full of style and beauty. Smaller in size but the sleek lines are still evident in this project within the tall cornices and external skirting. We loved working in this stately Victorian building!
Our client’s luxury bespoke kitchen journey began with a visit to The Handmade Kitchen Co showroom. The couple were able to see the exquisite quality of our furniture for themselves which would provide them with a unique and personal space that would be loved for many years to come.
Our client wanted to showcase their impeccably good taste and opted for our Traditional Raised shaker. It has been highlighted with a black paint hand-painted onto the cabinets known as Black Beauty by Benjamin Moore. It’s a rich shade of black with a hint of warmth. Versatile and sophisticated, black is a colour that can enhance any style of home, whether cosy or chic, soft or bold. Incorporating black paint, whether subtly or boldly, can make a significant impact on interior design.
This kitchen isn’t just a culinary experience but is designed to make memories with loved ones in the space they call the heart of the home.
Enhancing the cooking journey is the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooking in Black & Brass Trim which has been put alongside the cutting-edge Westin Prime extractor.
Having a clear direction of how our clients wanted their kitchen style, they opted for a Nivito Brass sink, Quooker PRO3 Fusion Round Tap in Gold & Quooker Cube and a Quooker Soak Dispenser in Gold. All three items instantly add grandeur to the space, while maintaining a balanced and understated presence.
To offset the boldness of the Black Beauty cabinetry, the Calacatta Viola Marble Honed worktops provide a striking contrast with their pristine polished finish. This juxtaposition creates a visually captivating and inviting kitchen space.
The intricate features make up the kitchen design and the ones in this space are the decorative cornices and the Armac Martin ‘Bakes’ cabinet handles in burnished brass.
Throughout this London townhouse, there was beautiful scribing in each room. Our client wanted it to flow nicely throughout the whole property and added it to the rooms we designed – the kitchen and bedroom. Adding to the theme and grandeur of the building, these decorative cornices look beautiful amongst the high ceilings.

Our client was looking for something different, and the minute he saw the dusky pink kitchen, he immediately loved it. Mike worked with him to design a layout for his kitchen in an apartment within a period manor house.
The painted furniture allowed us to curve the end of the kitchen to create a corner sink, which provided extra working space in front of the window above his washing machine. We complemented the furniture with a quartz worktop and splashback.
For appliances, he chose a Siemens induction hob, and we added a canopy extractor that created a striking feature. Two integrated fridge freezers and a dishwasher are all hidden away beautifully.
The client decorated the room to complement the kitchen and make the most of the high ceilings. The result is a space that truly has that WOW factor.

This project involved the conversion of a disused water tank into a unique 1-bedroom duplex penthouse in Bethnal Green, East London, located on top of the Grade II* listed Keeling House designed by Sir Denys Lasdun.
The main challenge was to transform an empty industrial concrete structure with plywood elements and a leaking roof into a warm, liveable and contemporary London penthouse apartment, while preserving the original industrial character of the space.
As a self-build project, the client temporarily relocated within the building during the works, allowing full transformation of the water tank into a functional home.
The design approach focused on adaptive reuse and industrial interior design, avoiding a standard “developer-style” finish. Instead, the original character was preserved through the use of exposed services and internally insulated OSB-lined walls and ceilings, ensuring both thermal performance and material continuity.
The existing stair core was extended to provide safe access to the water tank level. The end façades were redesigned using high-performance clear and sandblasted glazing within slim aluminium frames, enhancing light quality while maintaining structural lightness.
Vertical sandblasted louvres were introduced to ensure privacy while creating a dynamic, Zen-like interplay of natural light throughout the space.
The result is a highly distinctive duplex penthouse in East London, offering panoramic views across the London skyline, with sunrise and sunset light transforming the interior throughout the day. The space functions as a true urban retreat, combining industrial authenticity with contemporary living.

Although compact, the kitchen benefits from generous natural light thanks to the large window positioned above the sink. The Regis French farmhouse sink is centred on this elevation, making the most of the view and reinforcing the practical workflow of the room. It is paired with a Bidbury & Co. Moreton Bridge Tap, chosen for its traditional detailing and everyday usability.
To maintain clean lines, the dishwasher is fully integrated to one side of the sink, with waste and recycling bins housed discreetly on the other. This arrangement allows the main working zone to remain efficient without interrupting the visual rhythm of the cabinetry.

Built in black kitchen taking advantage of the room height, and compacting the footprint to allow for a spacious informal seated area beyond.

This kitchen was designed to be hidden away. Our clients can hold drinks parties and soirees without their kitchen being on show. A rolling library ladder makes full use of the 4metre ceiling height with extra storage. We took a mould of the original coving so the new cabinets look like they have always been part of the original room
