NORDIC ASH KITCHEN

The architects designed this project to transform a Victorian terraced house with a contemporary extension whilst maintaining its period charm. A high party wall with the bakery to one side allowed for high ceilings sloping down to a lower ceiling on the other side with a bank of skylights filling the space with light.

In the heart of this distinctive home, Honed transformed a challenging space into a masterpiece of bespoke joinery. The kitchen seamlessly integrates into the architectural quirks, with handcrafted ash veneer units, finished with a subtle white oil, discreetly housing all storage needs. These warm wood elements play against a dramatic black porcelain worktop and splash-back on the opposite wall, creating a balanced Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic that feels both modern and timeless.

Commanding attention at the room's center stands the pièce de résistance: a stunning marble island featuring an elegant waterfall edge. Meticulously fabricated from a single marble slab by our specialist stoneworker, the continuous veining creates a fluid, sculptural effect that serves as the kitchen's dramatic focal point while beautifully contrasting with the surrounding neutral cabinetry.

The project's most charming detail, however, might be found in the utility area: a custom-built bed integrated within the joinery, designed specifically for the family's two dachshunds, who wasted no time making themselves comfortable in their stylish new quarters.
