Buckinghamshire Family Home by Clive Christian Furniture

Clive Christian Furniture have been shortlisted for Kitchen Design Over £100,000 Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

A lifetime fan of Clive Christian Furniture, the client wanted to create a spectacular and striking kitchen for their family to congregate and come together for all occasions – ultimately making the kitchen the beating heart of the home. The detailed design aspect of the brief centralised around creating a sense of symmetry within the kitchen, Clive Christian Furniture were challenged to integrate specialised storage, opulent monochromatic beauty, and practicality to create a sense of balance throughout the space.

The cabinetry itself is a work of art, with specialised inlaid steel and ambient lighting, which is behind the perimeter frames that surround each block of cabinets, framing the doors and shelves further enhancing the symmetrical look and balance of the space. The kitchen island was a key aspect of this design. It needed to offer two key components: the first being enough space for the whole family to sit comfortably, and the second, for all the kitchen appliances to be within easy reach of the centre point.

One exceptional piece of technology from this project is the backsplash/mirror instalment; to the naked eye what looks like a simple stunning mirror also serves as a television when switched on, offering two dynamics to the space. When acting as a mirror, it brings together the wider room, allowing for whoever is using the sink to remain present in the space and the ongoings of the wider kitchen. As an avid sports fan, the TV element was a very special feature the client dreamed of having, so they could enjoy their favourite sporting shows from the comfort of their kitchen while maintaining the effortlessly chic and polished aesthetic. To enhance this look, a downward extractor was installed underneath the kitchen to ensure the view was not obstructed.

Following the brief closely, Clive Christian Furniture were able to achieve a sense of balance and symmetry within the space, which is ever pleasing to the eye. This can be seen in every small detail from the framing of the cabinetry echoed within the island, to the balancing of the kitchen appliances on either side of the central island – and while it is a beautiful space, it is effortlessly practical for the client too.
