Two islands are better than one

This property originally consisted of two top floor apartments which were knocked into one large pent house.  The project architect Martin Noone came to us with a very interesting outline design which incorporated the living, dinning and kitchen areas into one large space.

We were delighted to be one of only three finalists with this project in the 32 counties for the best kitchen design 2010. We used the back of the central fireplace as a natural border between the kitchen and living spaces. By swinging this section around in a gentle curve we gave the kitchen a natural perimeter and this also doubled as a breakfast bar.

This bar allowed family and friends to add life and activity to the kitchen space. The dinning area is only used for bigger gatherings and meals. Click here to see the project file
