Open-plan kitchens are all about space, space for cooking, space for family and friends, space for entertainment.
This kitchen is another masterpiece by Krieder, who have worked in collaboration with Offset Architects to create a wonderful and generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, for this magnificent family home set on a private estate in South East London.
Our client’s brief was to design the ultimate kitchen, to regularly entertain family and friends, as well as hosting special events. The kitchen needed to be designed to accommodate professional chefs to produce the finest haute cuisine, incorporating state-of-the-art cooking appliances, steam ovens, teppanyaki hot plates, wine coolers and large fridges. Designing the ultimate open-plan kitchen was Krieder’s design team’s goal.
It was clear the kitchen would act as a theatre to enjoy such catering experiences; therefore a large seating area was required to observe such culinary delights. Equally the homeowners wanted to enjoy the space for after dinner, and to avoid the feeling they would remain in the same space. Therefore, offering the option to close off and conceal the cooking apparatus would be the perfect solution.
The design team employed a forward-thinking approach, modelling, and tailoring a living solution where design becomes a natural, universal environment to suit the client’s lifestyle, and with the use of exclusive and desirable materials to achieve a modern, luxurious aesthetic. Designed with a main island to provide workspace and storage and to act as a natural divider between kitchen and living areas is central to its layout.
The kitchen island is fully clad in a porcelain MDi surface by Inalco, and the tall sleek cupboards housing the appliances, wine coolers and secret doors are finished in a crosscut veneer oak from Krieder’s Kuadra range. This combination of materials is fused into the design and are part of Krieder’s DNA to create functional products of enduring beauty.
The kitchen has also been designed to cater for those long summer days and integrate seamlessly with the garden area via the huge sliding wall of glass which divides the kitchen to the outdoor space. Once these doors are fully opened the area becomes one large indoor and outdoor space.
This kitchen is a typical design by Krieder and shows how we maximise the space and understand our client’s lifestyle needs, together with creating a sense of harmony, style, and sheer indulgence when designing the Ultimate Open-Plan Kitchen.
