TBKC have been shortlisted for Kitchen Design Over £50,000 Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

The design brief was to create an interior scheme that you would expect a Rockstar in Los Angeles might have. It needed to be dark and moody, whilst not drawing too much attention away from the light tunnels leading downstairs or the views of the woodlands.

The house from the outside looks like a simple one or two bed bungalow, but the minute you open the large copper oxide steel door, the viewer knows they are walking into something special. The beautiful concrete floor leads your eye to the furthest point, the gorgeous views of the back garden. Once you arrive at the living space, your appetite is filled with a number of design features that instantly create a laid back relaxed mood especially at night with the dark ceilings.

The four main areas of the living space are made up of the dining area, drinks area, seating area along with the main kitchen. The light tunnel and fireplace create a subtle divide for each area while maintaining the open plan living vibe. The client expressed how incredible it is that the dining area still feels intimate while having so much glass in the property, the fireplace divide was a great addition to create this.

The light tunnel breaks up the drinks area and kitchen space beautifully, the German kitchen has an English made surround with a copper beading detail to truly create that bespoke look. The island has a copper oxide steel door to subtly tie in with the property front door. The large island with the Bora is the client’s favourite part of the kitchen, as you have a large prep and plate up section on the island while still being part of the conversation or entertainment.

Shane Tierney, Head of Design, stated that his favourite detail of this project has to be the dark ceilings. The clients feel that the ceiling beautifully frames the view as you enter during the day while in the evenings it creates an intimate vibe that would be similar to a Tapas bar.
