The vertical framing & solid Oak handles characterise this kitchen, offering equal amounts of both beauty and functionality. Complimented by the grey hues in the signature Emperador Grey Marble and Paint & Paper’s Paris Rooftops, it’s a very organic and honest material palette that allows the details to shine through.

The design brief for this project by Shape London for their client was to create a Light filled space with an honest and natural material palette. The space is Striking with signature marble and light timber. The client wanted to be able to close it off to the rest of the house which is what Shape London has accomplished for them.

The key or favourite aspect of the project is the Solid Oak framing & handle details as well as the breakfast bar. For a galley kitchen it feels incredibly generous and connects each of the GF spaces through the use of the large sliding doors and Crital screen. There is copious amounts of worktop space as well as storage and everything is within easy reach.

It’s incredibly well connected with the rest of the property, front, rear and central circulation spaces. This truly does make it the heart of the home and a very sociable space. The specialist skills used to complete the project were a Stone Mason and Bench joinery.
