This modern wooden kitchen had a very Scandinavian feel, despite being in the middle of the Sussex countryside. The owners chose an oak veneer, a perfect blend of beauty and durability. The premium birch ply core offers exceptional strength, stability and moisture resistance, whilst the real oak veneer brings organic warmth with its rich grain pattern.

A simple L-shaped run tucks away appliances and pull-out bins, keeping everything neat and uncluttered. In the centre, a spacious island invites casual gatherings. One side with plenty of space to pull up a stool and the other with deep drawers for extra storage.

With no space for a dedicated laundry room, we designed floor-to-ceiling cabinetry to neatly house the owner's washing machine and tumble dryer. Plus extra built-in space for hanging drying clothes and storing cleaning essentials, keeping everything organised and out of sight.
