Kitchen Implementation
About This Project
Residential kitchens from 3D concept through to built, granite-topped reality — cabinetry installation, finished wood, oak-tone, black-granite, and navy schemes, plus the two-tone island concepts that preceded them.
The Brief
Residential kitchen work spanning concept and construction: two-tone cabinetry explored as a 3D concept, and multiple built kitchens finished with granite worktops — a durable, classic material pairing chosen over engineered alternatives for family kitchens that would see daily use.
The Approach
The two-tone concept modeled cabinet tones at full scale across the run of upper and lower units, testing the island itself as the point where both tones meet, since that's the piece most visible from the rest of the room. On the built kitchens, granite was selected specifically for the worktop's heat and scratch resistance, since this is the surface that takes the most direct daily wear in any kitchen. Cabinetry was detailed to complement the granite's natural veining rather than compete with it — a decision made by viewing cabinet door samples against the actual granite slab before either was finalised. In the oak-tone kitchen, under-cabinet lighting was concealed along the full run of upper cabinets, washing the grey granite worktop and splashback in even light. In the high-ceilinged kitchen, black granite was carried across both the perimeter counters and the island so the two read as one continuous material choice. The navy kitchen paired its cabinetry with a bold patterned tile running full-height across the backsplash. Throughout installation, site visits verified the build against the design as much as the design itself — fixings, appliance clearances, and worktop joins matching the drawing exactly.
The Outcome
Finished, durable family kitchens whose cabinetry and granite were selected and matched against each other directly — spanning wood, oak-tone with concealed under-cabinet lighting, black granite with a matching island, and a saturated navy-and-patterned-tile scheme — alongside the two-tone concept work that explored the island-as-transition-point idea before any cabinetry was built.
