WELCOME
EDITORS LETTER
When embarking on a project it can be tempting to choose a style you see in

a glossy magazine, then discover it doesnt suit your lifestyle. So look closely
at yourself and your family and see the sort of folk you (really) are. Then
decide on a style that will suit you now and over the next 10 years.
Much as I admire minimalism and cite John Pawson as one of my favourite artists/architects,
I know myself too well and know it could never (ever) work for me. A squirrel and a magpie,
I collect anything and everything. My treasure includes scraps of paper with scribbles
of interesting words, to delightful vintage tins overowing with seed packets, sketches
and ideas for the house and garden. I love them, they speak to me and make me tick.
I feel interiors are becoming too homogeneous, with an international
blingy style that only says look what Ive got, whereas your home can also
say look who I am. Find your style and develop your soul
turn the pages to see what makes you tick.

A sleek, low-level kitchen was

11/07/2014 16:36
THE owners
Professional couple Roger and Peter are both

keen cooks who love to entertain, but the existing
kitchen in their London apartment was far too small
for their needs. During a complete refurbishment of
the penthouse space they chose an eye-catching
white kitchen with plenty of storage space.

very wall was moved and every window changed

during a complete refurbishment of Roger and Peters
London penthouse. Ashley Collins, designer at
Halcyon Interiors, provided the sleek new kitchen.
36
What was the brief?

Roger: We wanted clean lines and a sleek look,
and we particularly wanted white to keep the area
looking bright. We both love to cook and we always
have lots of friends coming around for dinner, so
we needed space to be able to work properly and
plenty of storage space. Our old kitchen didnt
have room to swing a cat and we wanted to make
cooking easier for ourselves and for any visitors.
Ashley: I was asked to design an eyecatching, functional, modern kitchen
in the space, for entertaining.
What influenced the design?
Ashley: I was initially thinking of a simple,
clean look, but as soon as I saw the stair design I
knew this had to be the focal point of the room.
I chose an Alno Starline handle-less kitchen
with simple lines so that the whole room flowed
perfectly, and selected a flush-to-ceiling extractor
from Westin as I did not want anything to
really compete with the amazing staircase.
Roger: We needed a low level kitchen as we
have a 360 aspect over London and we wanted
to maintain the view, and the staircase design
did have an influence on the kitchen.
What finishes were chosen?
Ashley: The lacquered finish on the cabinetry
creates reflections in the space; while the Warm
Grey Corian tops have a bespoke infinity edge
detail for a sharp, crisp look. We put a channel in
the worktop overhang to house LED lighting.
Whats inside the cabinetry?
Ashley: The kitchen has lots and lots of
storage, most of it in the form of drawers
and pull-out larders for ease of use.
11/07/2014 16:40
The extractor was fitted flush to

the ceiling as it was important
that nothing in the kitchen
interrupted the panoramic views
of London that are available from
most areas of the apartment
11/07/2014 16:40
11/07/2014 16:42
We completely redesigned the

entire apartment from top to
bottom, absolutely everything
changed and every wall was
moved it was a big job. Roger

THE designer
Sometimes its best to keep things simple,

to let the clean lines of the kitchen do the
talking rather than cluttering up the design
with unnecessary features that only interrupt
the flow of the space. Ashley Collins, sales

Were an unusual lot us Brits we drive on the left, live

in Europe (but dont think of ourselves as European), go
bog snorkelling in our leisure hours and host the World
Pea Shooting Championships, to say nothing of our habit
of incessant tea drinking (with milk not lemon to many a
foreigners horror) -- all the same were admired the world over
for our quintessential style, however, when contemplating things
British many would think only of traditional: large country piles,
Chippendale furniture, black London cabs and her Majesty the
Queen, and theyre right -- we Brits do trad exceedingly well.
But now theres a new generation of designers making their
mark. Their designs reference our heritage and expertise
but with an understated modern twist. Its a world where
bespoke kitchens are created, not simply made.
Many of the companies shown here welcome prearranged visits
to their workshops, where you will discover the attention to
detail that goes into each kitchen. Youll witness impeccable
design fused with the finest cabinet making skills, creating
distinctive kitchen furniture of exceptional quality -- well

REAL HOME
ORIENTAL
WISDOM
Pared-down Zen simplicity was the thinking

behind this elegant and tranquil bathroom, created
as a guest suite for a large Edwardian home
58
my Wilson and Steve Bright were happy to

trust Max Spenser-Morris, head of design at
Design Republic, with a completely open brief
to come up with something stunning for a guest
bathroom in what was previously a bedroom.
Max did a lovely bathroom at a previous house
10 years ago, says Steve. We loved that project
and others that Design Republic have done since,
as they seem to think out-of-the-box. We needed
that help with our project as we wanted a really
special bathroom for our new guest suite.
The only direction the couple gave Max was
that they didnt want a bath, only a shower.
It was an open brief for me to come back to
them with an idea for the space, recalls Max.
We were looking at products from a gorgeous
Japanese import company called Biden Designs at

the time, and they had some beautiful products
including the handle we used for the main doors.
This imparted a slight Zen feel to the design.
The room was not without challenges, the ceiling
was low, so the shower head had to be set into the
ceiling, and an awkward chimney breast was absorbed
into the design by using the recesses for the toilet
cistern, inset wenge shelves and a hidden cabinet.
Max created a bespoke wenge vanity unit to hold
an elegant Gessi Goccia washbasin. We set
ourselves the brief of creating a fresh, spa feel
that was also unique and individual, he says.
As a guest bathroom, there wasnt a need for lots
of storage so we could afford to keep the design
spacious. The vessel basin and Gessi Goccia tap
were important as the focal point of the bathroom
so we kept the space around these clean.
THE owners
Amy Wilson and Steve Bright live in a large six-bedroom Edwardian detached home in rural
Cambridgeshire. Steve is in insurance and Amy works in PR. The couple were extending their home to
create a new bedroom, allowing the old room to be transformed into a luxurious guest bathroom.

THE designer
If you are transforming one room into

something completely different, such as a
bedroom into a bathroom, it is vital to look at
the scheme as a whole first. Work backwards
from what you want from the bathroom, as
this will dictate any sacrifices that
must be made in other areas.
Max Spenser-Morris, head of
design, Design Republic
The design achieved

a harmonious feel with
character and warmth
while still retaining
a nice simplicity.

Water, the sustainer of life

All important, water was at the very centre of life for
many ancient cultures, with great cities built on rivers
or by the sea. Collected by hand from babbling natural
springs or drawn from cool subterranean wells and many
gods, goddesses, myths and rituals grew up around it.
In Greek and especially Roman civilization bathing culture was
finely developed. Hot springs and warm spas imbibed health,
well-being and even magical healing powers -- the elixir of life.

Inspiration call on Neptune, or the Greek god

Poseidon and if all else fails ask Hermes the messenger
god, with his winged sandals and winged hat -- for
it is said it is he that carries a magic wand

heir new-build house gave Debbie and Lee

Collins the chance to create a spacious, family
kitchen that would suit their lifestyle, with
Andy Martin, director of Wilson Fink, taking
on the job of turning dreams into reality.
What was the brief?
Debbie: Im a keen cook and I have two young
children, so I wanted the room to have a family feel
and the children to be able to play there instead
of being shut away in a playroom. I didnt want a
kitchen that was too stark and cold, but a design
that in a few years time would still look modern.
It also needed to be easy to clean and practical.
What was the inspiration behind the finishes?
Andy: The clients wanted to move away from
the ever-fashionable beiges and taupe and
make a slightly more dynamic statement.

THE designer
With a large multifunctional space you need to avoid dead space in

the middle of the room. You can overcome this by making the island
L-shaped or an organic shape in order to fill spaces that the kitchen
would not normally reach. Andy Martin, director, Wilson Fink
Everyone is fascinated by the way the downdraft extractor just

pops up, and I love the wipe-clean induction hob. Debbie Collins
82
They also wanted the colour scheme to last and

to be softened with a textured wood effect.
What was the biggest challenge?
Andy: There is a post in the middle of the
room that could not be removed so the entire
design had to revolve around building this in.
We decided to build units around it to and make
a feature of it as opposed to trying to hide it.
Debbie: That beam was the bane of our lives,
but the kitchen designer incorporated it brilliantly
and now it looks like its meant to be there.
Has it changed family life?
Debbie: We are always in the kitchen now.
I was a bit worried at first that people would
be watching me while Im cooking, as Im a
bit of a perfectionist, but no one gets in my
way and its so much more sociable.
What is your favourite part of the design?
Debbie: One of my favourite touches is the antiqued
mirror glass that we used to clad the beam.

Refine your style well chosen, well designed, well considered

and well placed within the space, schemes with modest forms and
lines may look straightforward and simple, but theyre deceptively
sophisticated. Make the scheme your own -- clean and minimalist
doesnt mean without character, the best have interest and style.
86
These photographs are akin to an artform, but dont forget

someone was there ahead of the photographer, tidying
and ensuring everything was just so. To maximise minimal
it does require a certain kind of person -- someone thats
tidy with a capital T. Still keen? Well winnow down, declutter,
then declutter some more, or better still, start your kitchen and
everything that goes into it from scratch, so you only have the
absolute necessities -- and consider each and every thing.
Rather than adding any applied decoration use what you have
to include but in a considered way, such as the repetition
of cabinet doors which will make a pattern and rhythm
throughout the space. And it goes without saying handleless cabinetry rules. As nothing will be on display invest in
excellent, well-made cabinetry, with strong hinges and drawer
runners, with well thought-out internal storage solutions.
Use drawers not shelves, as you can pull drawers right out
to get to things at the back and they take up less space. Or
place your kitchen inside full-height cupboards, and simply
slide the giant doors across to cover the workings when not
in use. Aim for serene and uncluttered, not cold and sterile.
Make it a background for your life, but not one where when
youre in it youll feel like youre making the place untidy.
Kitchens are for living in, so remember these words: storage, Tidy
(and remember the capital T) and cleaners -- then relax and enjoy.
Your new mantra: a place for everything and everything in its

Lack of clutter emphasises the line and form

everything in a minimalist space needs to be refined
and edited. As there is so little in it, what is there has
to be perfect. No imperfections, no blemishes.
94
If you find this just too stark, instead of decoration use opposites
such as matt and shiny to play off different surface textures,
or add a rug or a chair to your bathroom for instant softness,
but ensure its the same colour as the rest of your scheme -yes even the colour needs to be pared right back to one hue.
It can be tones of the same hue, such as different whites, but
keep it simple to max the effect. Colour can distract, where
as white is the minimalists dream colour, fresh yet pared
right down to emphasise line and form. It also imparts a great
feeling of serenity, making a space calming and relaxing.
For inspiration see ultra minimalist architect and designer
John Pawsons work. Go as bare as you dare for maximum
effect and create an oasis of tranquillity for relaxation.
The hot new trend is for open-plan bathroom bedrooms, (the loo stays in a separate cubicle). So
that the bathroom zone is not overly obvious its important to include sanitaryware that blends
in well with the rest of the bedroom theme. The Be Yourself furniture module by Alape has a tap

A French-inspired kitchen
named Provence, inspired by
the designers holidays in the
region, was the perfect choice
for an Englishman abroad
hen Michael Harrison moved his family to Provence

it was clear from the start that local stone would
play a big role in the kitchens and bathrooms
of their newly refurbished four-bedroom home
after all, Michael had a financial interest in a
local limestone quarry. But it was also important
to the family to have a kitchen which suited their
casual, sociable lifestyle and which fitted into
the warm, outdoor-living ethos of the region.
He found exactly what he was looking for when he
approached senior designer Leila Conway at Mark
Wilkinson Furniture. The furniture was designed
by Mark Wilkinson OBE and named Provence as
it was inspired by the time he spent in the south of
France, Leila explains. It oozes calm and relaxation
Mark says he was inspired by the scents of freshly
baked bread at the boulangerie and the pace of
life epitomised by older men playing boules.

THE owners
Engineer Michael Harrison, his wife Patricia and

their two children moved to Provence from their
home in Cheshire, staying in Monaco while their
property, in an upmarket gated community in the
mountains near Nice, was totally renovated.
14/07/2014 10:13
The bespoke batterie de cuisine

gives a rustic, country feel to
the design, as well as being
thoroughly practical. The polished
nickel handles in the New
England style were chosen to
complement the simple cabinetry,
which has oak veneer interiors
14/07/2014 10:13
14/07/2014 10:14
REAL HOME

The kitchen opens onto an external dining area and a pool;

so it had to facilitate this summery style of living. Leila Conway
Provence has a mild climate and this is reflected in
the colourings of the kitchen, says Leila. In the
Provenal landscape, where there are no frosts, it isnt
unusual for houses to remain unpainted year after
year, giving a shabby chic beauty to the paintwork.
We commissioned English trompe loeil artist
Rosalind Robinson to apply a finish to mirror the
warm, faded feel so typical in the paintwork of the
region. The sunny feeling has been further warmed
up by mixing in the clear lacquered oak elements.
At the end of the kitchen island character oak
has been used to great effect with the rustic dining
table and stools, while the bespoke batterie de
cuisine adds a touch of panache. Other bespoke
pieces include the oak plate rack and the Frenchstyle extractor canopy, while the pale limestone
worktops and sink give a true touch of local colour.
THE designer
The owners of this house had an interest in a local

stone quarry so the sink was carved from limestone.
If you do choose worktops or sinks in softer stones
such as limestone or marble, you must avoid using
limescale remover on them and always use a
chopping board. With care they can look beautiful
for years with just an annual oiling to smarten them
up; although granite is a far hardier alternative.

This Georgian townhouse had a sorry spell

when converted into flats and offices; but
Tania Adir of G&T London has resurrected it
THE owners
Gal and Tania Adir are the

uilt in 1836, number 58 Myddelton Square has

seen Islington transformed from thriving fringe to
rough inner city, then back to cosmopolitan and
desirable. Now on a sought-after garden square,
this generously proportioned home spent much of
the last century as cramped flats and cheap offices,
but has just been transformed by Tania Adir of
development company G&T London, which dragged
away the desks and kitchenettes and replaced them
with beautifully restored period features, a strikingly
modern Schller kitchen and luxurious bathrooms.
We wanted to create a kitchen to suit the original
exposed external walls of a Georgian period terrace
property, while blending elements of traditional
and contemporary and ensuring functionality
and exceptional quality, says Tania. The kitchen
features textural saw-cut black oak doors which
contrast with the monumental 50mm slab of glossy
Iranian marble which makes up the worktop.

THE designer
Functionality is key you can never have too much storage space
or counter space for cooking. Use all the available space all the
way to the ceiling by adding custom-made tall units, the increased
cost will be quickly forgotten but you will enjoy the practicality
for years to come. Tania Adir, partner, G&T London
Tania is particularly pleased

with the feeling of light
and space that the glass
extension creates, as in
summer the glass doors
can be fully drawn back so
that the kitchen and terrace
become interchangeable

The bathrooms were designed to reflect modern luxury hotels, but
also sit happily among the restored Georgian period details such
as the fully functional fireplace in the master ensuite bathroom. The
ensuite features a huge free-standing bath along with twin showers
and twin basins, with adjacent his and hers dressing rooms

First floor bathroom
With the bathrooms we were inspired by boutique

luxury hotels we have visited in the past and we
wanted the bathrooms to be areas for pampering and
relaxation, says Tania. With this in mind, the rooms
feature only the most luxurious surfaces and finishes,
from stunning marble slabs to the delicate motherof-pearl wall mosaics in the master bedroom ensuite.
While the bathrooms look perfectly at home
with the Georgian architectural features, they also
abound with technological innovation the whole
house is linked by an iPad-controlled Savant system

which can be used to control music, heating and
lighting, while a Raychem system monitors the
temperature of pipes to ensure instantaneous hot
water. They are modern in outlook too: There are
twin showers and basins in the master ensuite in
recognition of the requirements of todays discerning
buyer, says Tania, while in recognition of the
requirements of busy modern couples, we designed
the master suite to include two dressing rooms.

The soft, amber tones of the marble in this third floor
ensuite bathroom reflect the colour scheme of the
