Roundhouse Design

This Roundhouse Studio design kitchen was part of a new extension which angled at 45 degrees, so the layout was important to reflect the space’s architecture. A large walk-in pantry is concealed behind the tall cabinetry, which is hidden from view and the main kitchen, though quite compact, can be kept clean and tidy. The key brief from the client was to design a unique island that reflected the angular extension's juxtaposition. Combined layers of worktops and an oak breakfast bar create a more dynamic kitchen island, providing varied seating areas separated from the working chef’s side.

This impressive building is a converted barn with a beautiful, vaulted ceiling and huge glass doors opening onto the rolling countryside. The bespoke kitchen design reflects the architecture of the space keeping it light, open, and spacious with natural materials and special veneers to match the timber in the ceiling.

For our Howell project, our client wanted a modern kitchen design that respected yet contrasted with the property’s beautiful period features. The pièce de résistance is the bookmatched Neolith wall cladding. The finished results, we hope you agree, are pretty spectacular.

Rich natural finishes, such as solid walnut, leathered quartzite and antique brass, add depth and character, while the walnut and quartzite Splay Table with built-in Lazy Susan provides convivial dining. Thoughtful detailing, like the brass recessed handles and artisanal aerial shelving with wine glass rails, elevates this design by effortlessly merging style with functionality. Concealing the Gaggenau ovens behind sleek cabinetry further enhances the tranquillity, making it easier to relax and unwind in this beautifully elegant space.

As the heart of an expansive open-plan living space leading to an outdoor kitchen, the owners of this home desired a space that looks stylish from every direction. With generous pantry storage, a dedicated breakfast cupboard, and a separate home bar, it’s also an extremely practical and well-appointed kitchen for family time and socialising.

This bespoke kitchen was designed for an enthusiastic cook and her family. The space is cleverly zoned for maximum efficiency and features a rich palette of materials. The blackened depths of Farrow & Ball’s Studio Green change with the light, moving from verdant and lively in the morning sun to dark and mysterious by night.

This bespoke kitchen was designed for a young family and features a functional and contemporary mix of styles and finishes with symmetrical clean lines as a juxtaposition to the property’s traditional architecture. The inclusion of timber on the island perfectly complements the large space with tiled floor, timber beams and windows and provides a beautiful space for friends and family to come together.

A delectably dark, showstopping kitchen that showcases a range of luxurious materials and finishes, including dark-stained real timber veneer, with patinated Antique Bronze splashback. The same luxurious metallic finish is echoed in the shadow-lines of the recessed handles for elegant design cohesion.

A side extension with generous skylights floods this sophisticated indigo and white Classic kitchen with light, enabling the smartly tailored cabinetry and statement worktops to shine. Foregoing wall cabinets in favour of a single elongated shelf is a stylish move that provides a natural stopping point for the splashback, and the opportunity to display treasured pieces.

This project is part of our Studio collection, which combines an understated aesthetic with a modular design approach for a kitchen that looks and feels entirely bespoke.

This bespoke kitchen design was influenced by the barn’s aesthetic with original lintels and beams. The design features a clever and contrasting combination of a textured oak bookmatched veneer with a sleek and modern patinated silver finish to create a timeless aesthetic.

The architectural features of our Kingston project allowed for a playful combination of finishes, textures, and colour. The client wanted a strong contrast in colour, and this bespoke kitchen design in our combined Classic and Urbo ranges is far from ordinary. The fresh and bright botanical green was a natural pairing with the garden and house plants, and the stainless-steel worktop and rough-sawn oak kitchen island balance and mirror the oak doors and beams.

The San Simone natural quartzite island in our Dunne project is quite literally the centre of attention. The shaker-style Classic cabinetry with antique bronze handles perfectly balances the property’s period features and the artistic natural beauty of the selected stone for the countertops and splashbacks.

Storage is an essential element to the space and includes two Fulham Pantries, one for dry foods and small electricals and the other for wine storage and glassware, alongside a dedicated coffee station. The chimney breast has been transformed and specially designed to integrate the extractor hood, retaining its mantle to display accessories and extra kitchen storage.

Working with existing architectural constraints is no problem when you commission bespoke, as the client of this stunning monochrome kitchen can attest. To retain the existing concrete floors, the layout had to stay the same, but an unsightly steel structural support and soil stack were cleverly designed out via the strategic positioning of bespoke cabinetry. This new space is full of vitality thanks to the energising use of Compac’s striking composite stone. A floating wall cabinet in Roundhouse’s unique Burnished Copper finish was perfectly centred on the wall, serving to soften the strong colour contrasts and bring a calming sense of symmetry to the proceedings.

There’s a lot to love about this graceful bespoke kitchen, but the stand-out moment has got to be the generous oak veneered storage cabinet, smartly encased behind crittall-style sliding doors. Fitted with fluted glass to partially obscure the contents when closed, it packs in plenty of easily accessible storage without overpowering the overall design.
