Mr & Mrs Taylor - Aberdeen
THE BRIEF
To design and fit a pared-back kitchen with a minimalist feel that would be both a practical space used by keen cooks and a sociable gathering area for the whole family. The layout had to maximise storage and provide as much worktop space as possible.
THE DESIGN CONCEPT
Mr & Mrs Taylor showed no interest in any of the typical ‘wow factor’ ingredients of a new kitchen. Rather, they wanted a space that would continue the comfortable feel of their warm family home, be extremely practical to use (they’re keen cooks) and at the same time be an inviting place for the rest of the family to socialise.
While they might not have put ‘wow’ at the top of their list of priorities, the resulting kitchen is no doubt a showstopper, thanks in large to the combination of neutral colours, unusual textures and bespoke cabinetry from Leicht.
The rust coloured Leicht cabinetry at the far end of the room has an unusual finish, achieved by applying a lacquer containing oxidised powdered iron. It gives a warm, attractive colour with unique patterns weaving throughout.
One of the trickiest challenges in the project was how to create a practical layout for the island, given the shape and size of the room. A large square island allowed for the inclusion of a breakfast bar providing the Taylor’s with the homely, informal dining space allowing family to spend time together in the kitchen.
The hob was positioned on the island to allow whoever is cooking to interact with family and friends, without having their back turned. Extraction was initially a challenge as downdraft was not an option due to concrete floors. An unobtrusive canopy extractor was fitted flush with the ceiling so that the open feel of the kitchen was not spoiled.
"The attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship are outstanding. The whole process was effortless thanks to their clear communication and dedicated project management. The end result is simply breathtaking."
