An award-finalist family kitchen combining sculptural curves, sophisticated materials and bespoke craftsmanship.
Our Oakhill project in Hampstead demonstrates how luxury bespoke kitchen design can combine sculptural beauty with exceptional everyday functionality. Designed around family living, this elegant kitchen balances refined architectural detailing with a welcoming atmosphere.
Point 5 Kitchens is delighted that Oakhill has been named a finalist in the Kitchen Designer of the Year (Over £40k) category at the Designerati Awards 2026.
The design brings together a striking curved island, soft blue fluted cabinetry and an elegant marble feature coffee station. Every detail reflects our commitment to creating bespoke kitchens that feel distinctive, timeless and genuinely personal.
Luxury Bespoke Kitchen Design Inspired by Family Living
The clients wanted a calm, light-filled kitchen that would become the heart of their family home. As enthusiastic cooks who regularly entertain, they needed a space that could accommodate different activities without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
Their vision extended beyond creating a beautiful kitchen. They wanted an environment that encouraged interaction, supported everyday routines and reflected their individual personality.
Our design response combines sculptural furniture, thoughtful spatial planning and a carefully considered material palette. The result is a sophisticated yet welcoming interior where family life and elegant design coexist naturally.
A Sculptural Curved Kitchen Island in Soft Blue
At the centre of this Hampstead kitchen sits a beautifully crafted curved island, finished in bespoke fluted joinery.
Its muted blue cabinetry introduces personality and warmth while maintaining the room’s calm, understated atmosphere. The vertical fluting creates texture and rhythm, drawing attention to the island’s flowing architectural form.
Rather than following conventional straight lines, the curved island softens the kitchen’s geometry and encourages natural movement throughout the space.
A seamless, light-toned worktop complements the blue cabinetry, creating a subtle contrast that enhances the sculptural design.
The island becomes both a practical preparation area and a distinctive architectural feature, demonstrating how bespoke craftsmanship can transform everyday kitchen furniture.
An Elevated Breakfast Table Designed for Family Connection
One of Oakhill’s most distinctive elements is the elevated, rounded breakfast table positioned alongside the island.
Its offset arrangement breaks away from conventional kitchen layouts while creating a relaxed space for family interaction.
The circular table gently separates informal dining from the main preparation and cooking areas. This thoughtful zoning allows different activities to take place simultaneously without interrupting the kitchen’s natural flow.
Whether enjoying breakfast, sharing an afternoon coffee or spending time together, the family can gather comfortably around this welcoming feature.
The rounded table also echoes the island’s sculptural form, creating a consistent design language throughout the room.
A Bespoke Coffee Station with a Marble Feature Niche
The kitchen’s curved detailing continues through an elegant coffee station that combines practical functionality with striking architectural character.
A dramatic marble feature niche creates a luxurious focal point, framed by a carefully shaped curved surround.
Open shelving provides space for displaying favourite objects and everyday essentials, while the dedicated preparation area supports the family’s daily coffee ritual.
The marble’s expressive veining introduces movement and visual interest, contrasting beautifully with the surrounding soft finishes.
By repeating the curved forms established by the island, this feature creates a cohesive interior where every element feels connected.
It also demonstrates how luxury bespoke kitchen design can elevate even the simplest daily routines.
Refined Materials and Subtle Architectural Details
Oakhill’s sophisticated material palette combines muted blue cabinetry, light-toned surfaces, fluted glass and elegant metallic accents.
The blue island introduces a carefully measured touch of colour, adding personality without overwhelming the room’s peaceful atmosphere.
Along the main kitchen run, pale cabinetry creates a clean architectural backdrop. Above the worktop, glazed aluminium-framed cabinets introduce texture and depth while maintaining visual lightness.
The subtly fluted glass continues the design’s soft, flowing theme and complements the island’s vertical detailing.
Metallic handles and fittings provide warmth and tactile contrast, adding another layer of refinement.
Together, these materials establish a timeless aesthetic that feels contemporary, individual and beautifully balanced.
Intelligent Kitchen Planning for Cooking and Entertaining
Behind Oakhill’s elegant appearance lies a carefully developed layout designed around the family’s everyday needs.
The kitchen incorporates distinct preparation, cooking and social areas, allowing different activities to happen comfortably within the same space.
Premium integrated Miele appliances support the clients’ enthusiasm for cooking while maintaining the cabinetry’s clean architectural appearance.
Generous storage keeps everyday essentials organised and discreetly concealed, reducing visual clutter across the main work surfaces.
The island provides ample preparation space, while the adjacent breakfast table encourages conversation and informal dining.
This considered arrangement allows the kitchen to function as a high-performance cooking environment without losing its welcoming, social character.
Bespoke Joinery That Solves Architectural Challenges
One of the project’s most innovative details sits above the full-height cabinetry.
The clients needed to accommodate an air-conditioning unit without allowing it to interrupt the kitchen’s carefully composed appearance.
Our designers developed a bespoke rounded fluted feature that discreetly conceals the unit while complementing the wider architectural design.
Rather than treating this practical requirement as an obstacle, the team transformed it into a distinctive furniture detail.
The curved island presented another significant technical challenge. Achieving its precise shape and consistent fluted finish required detailed planning and specialist manufacturing expertise.
Through careful coordination between design and production, our team achieved the desired sculptural appearance while maintaining structural integrity and everyday practicality.
These bespoke solutions demonstrate how thoughtful craftsmanship can resolve complex requirements without compromising the overall design.
Precision Manufacturing Behind the Curved Kitchen Design
Creating Oakhill required close collaboration between spatial planning, technical design and bespoke manufacturing.
The curved island demanded exceptional accuracy to achieve its flowing proportions and carefully aligned fluted detailing.
Detailed 3D modelling allowed our team to refine the design, assess construction requirements and coordinate specialist fabrication before production began.
Material sampling and lighting studies also played an important role in developing the final appearance.
These processes helped establish the right balance between warmth, minimalism and architectural impact.
Every detail, from the curved cabinetry to the concealed air-conditioning feature, reflects the value of combining creative vision with technical expertise.
Sustainable Luxury Bespoke Kitchen Design with Lasting Appeal
Sustainability formed an important part of the Oakhill design approach.
Energy-efficient appliances and integrated LED lighting help reduce everyday energy consumption, while durable materials support the kitchen’s long-term performance.
Where possible, the project prioritised responsibly sourced finishes and locally fabricated joinery.
The design also places considerable importance on longevity. Timeless materials, practical storage and carefully considered construction help reduce the need for unnecessary replacement.
By creating a kitchen tailored to the family’s lifestyle, our team developed an interior designed to remain beautiful and functional for years to come.
