St Barnabas Road
This kitchen formed part of a full extension and home renovation project in a wonderful family home in Central Cambridge. The initial contact came via a referral from a previous client... who was also in the very select SCOOP owners club! It is always very exciting for me when clients choose a SCOOP kitchen... as literally 98% of our kitchens are in our handle-less naturalSHEER or minimalSHEER styles! We instantly hit IT off with these lovely clients and after a few liveDESIGN sessions, we had the layout and spec' nailed down for the amazing new space they planned to create.
The Details...
This kitchen is our fabulous SCOOP model... which is defined by a characterful SCOOP OUT behind each of the handles.
These cheeky SCOOPS add instant appeal... they somehow bring to mind an early Mini Cooper and have a really happy vibe about them.
Not only do they look great, they actually make the handle easier to grasp - so it's a win-win (if handles are your thing)!
The cabinets themselves are finished in Waterwheel Light Blue - which for some strange reason has been the choice of colour for nearly all of SCOOP kitchens we have built over the last 12 years or so!
The blue tones work really well with Mont Blanc quartz tops (Caesarstone) and the Porcelain floor tiles (supplied by Tomas). The cool blend is warmed up with elements of oak found in the Arcadia Shelving and elsewhere.
Appliances are by Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Liebherr and Bora.
The mood becomes more sombre, as the kitchen gives way to the dining area... here bespoke hand-painted cabinets were created with detailing to match the existing fire surround.
At the other end a really cheerful media wall was created to provide oodles of storage.
