Contemporary Apartment Kitchen

A bold contemporary design with a masculine edge was the concept for this Hyde Park apartment kitchen which was mainly used for socialising and entertaining. Situated on a mezzanine, overlooking a double height living space, the kitchen itself had low ceilings which we embraced to design a cosy, bar-like dining and entertaining space.

We customised a wall of black lacquered cabinetry to sit effortlessly alongside the low ceilings and allowed texture and contrast to come into play as the sleek kitchen cabinetry meets the soft luxurious fabrics elsewhere throughout the apartment.

Design details such as subtle under cabinet lighting and an in built SONOS system add an element of glamour for entertaining to complete this open-plan contemporary kitchen.

Colourful Contemporary Kitchen

This particular client came to Hawk K&B with a brief to create a contemporary kitchen space and most importantly, it was to include splashes of orange.

We specified a Rotpunkt kitchen with Silestone worktops to remain in keeping with the contemporary style and chose a predominantly grey colour palette in order to ensure the pops of orange stood out within the kitchen design. We decided on glass orange splashbacks which paired beautifully with the four orange pendants that the client had previously picked for the space.

She liked to socialise, so the space needed to be both functional and accommodating. We, therefore, designed the space with plenty of seating, including a large dining table and a breakfast bar situated on the kitchen island. We also installed an electric AGA in Pearl Ash which contrasts yet complements the contemporary aesthetic.

The end result is a bright and bold welcoming space creating an uncluttered environment to entertain guests.

Classic Contemporary Kitchen

Our client came to Hawk K&B to design their kitchen as part of an executive whole house development. The kitchen was imperative to the overall look and feel of the rest of the house as it was situated at the centre of the home, taking up majority of the lower ground floor.

The client wanted to create a grown up interior that reflected their love of classic style but incorporated their modern lifestyle. We therefore specified hand painted grey cabinetry and paired them with Quartz worktops to complement this light filled space. To add an element of contrast and warmth, the central island was designed in a rich walnut with a pale granite worktop.

In order to accentuate the double height ceilings we also added in a walnut mantle. The combination of the dark natural wood and soft grey palette elsewhere created the perfect marriage of classic style with distinctive contemporary touches.

Barn Conversion Country Kitchen

The brief was to provide a classic kitchen with lots of storage where family and entertaining was at the heart of the design.

Echoing the clients love for classic style, we selected a handmade Neptune kitchen using traditional methods. Silestone Lagoon worktops in Suede then added a contemporary element to create a perfect marriage of classic style with distinctive contemporary touches.

A central island was used to create a casual seating area for informal dining whilst an integrated wine fridge and single pendant bulb lighting added and element of glamour for entertaining. Part of the brief was to include lots of storage so even the curved units have been used to store household items and wooden chopping blocks can be stored within the cabinetry itself, ensuring everything has a place.

The end result is a family kitchen that presents an elegant retreat with sophisticated living and entertaining space.
