Mark & Lisa had recently moved and could not bear the kitchen that they inherited.  They found the space disjointed and disorganised.  They wanted to create an open space that led seamlessly on to their garden, which wraps round the rear of their property.  Storage was everything to them.  They wanted to maximise the space within their kitchen diner and utility, making sure that day-to-day items were easily accessible and to hand.

They had a clear vision on the grey scale palette which we enhanced by wrapping the island in this beautiful sparkling riven like quartz.
