Park House
A kitchen collaboration with Robert Rhodes Architecture + Interiors and Brandon Schubert for a full renovation of this North London, Victorian family home. The basement enjoys a rear extension to the family breakfast and dining area with double doors opening into the garden. Reusing the sash window to continue the charm and character throughout in combination with the overhead skylight for an open and airy feel, in contrast to the main kitchen area which is hand painted in a sumptuous and rich chocolate colour. One wall in vertical teak wood boarding accented with a pair of matching shelves exhibiting a mini cocktail bar and complementary objects. Eye level ovens and wine storage beside. a smooth granite worktop with moss and lichen tones sits on top of Long House cupboards with Combs doors, accessed with hand forged, iron, Weymouth handles. Opposite, a tall bank of cupboards conceals an integrated fridge and freezer alongside a generously proportioned double larder and crockery cupboard, all cohesively balanced within the space.
Central to the kitchen is a raised island with stool nooks for family breakfasts and home crafting with wide shelves for cookbooks. A flush fitting hob with downdraft extractor keeps eye level free for a pair of wonderful pendant lights in marmalade coloured glass, while deep drawers provide copious storage for pots, pans and cooking utensils.
