The presence of this fireplace enriches the room with a cosy ambiance, perfect for chilly evenings. The wooden flooring exudes warmth and rustic charm. The natural grain of the oak provides a subtle, organic texture that complements the room’s otherwise pristine and polished aesthetic. The room’s layout is thoughtfully designed to maximize space and light. The large bay windows ensure that the room is filled with an abundance of natural light throughout the day, enhancing the airy feel and visually expanding the space.

The kitchen showcases an array of integrated, high-end Miele appliances and a Quooker 4-in-1 tap, which blend flawlessly with the clean, minimalist lines of the custom cabinetry. The subtle colour palette of cool greys and crisp whites enhances the feeling of space, reflecting both natural and artificial light to create a bright and inviting environment.

This design not only facilitates easy movement and accessibility but also promotes a lifestyle where cooking and socializing combine effortlessly. In addition to the kitchen's modern appliances and luxurious finishes, a striking architectural feature of this space is the series of vertical wood panels that stretch from the floor to the ceiling.

The wood panels, crafted with a natural finish that echoes the oak flooring, create a visual continuity that ties the space together. This design choice adds a layer of texture and warmth, balancing the sleek, minimalist elements of the kitchen. Functionally, the panels act as a subtle room divider, delineating the kitchen from the adjoining living areas without disrupting the open plan feel.
