This award is a testament to the incredible teamwork, creativity and commitment to excellence that lays at the grounds of Point 5 Kitchens philosophy.

Design Overview

Porcelain cladded island:

The island boasts a stunning porcelain worktop, with the real showstopper – oversized workspace with the doors at the back covered with the same porcelain material, finished with router liquid metal details. Additional intriguing design is the 60 mm thickness of the slab ends at the front, changes to 12 mm at the back.

Liquid metal details: Liquid metal accents elevate the kitchen’s elegance. Router handles, inserts, and island plinths feature liquid metal, while a beautiful strip of liquid brass divides tall units and cabinets above. The utility entrance was a challenge to design, with hidden doors that stay open during use. This feature blends utility with style, offering convenience without compromising aesthetics.

Pocket doors solutions: The kitchen’s layout incorporates two separate pocket doors units. One serves as a chic bar area while the other transforms into a break- fast space.

Utility innovations: Pocket doors seamlessly hiding the washing machine and tumble dryer. Both cabinets are equipped with pullout shelves for laundry baskets and deep drawers, allowing laundry tasks with efficiency and elegance. The drying cabinet is also playing significant part in increasing the functionality of the space.

Through the entire process, we maintained open channels of communication to ensured that every person involved in the project was working in harmony to bring this extraordinary kitchen concept to life.

Concept Stage

In response to the client’s requirements, we have designed a kitchen concept. The kitchen was to be installed into the newly built extension, providing ample space for a luxurious and functional layout. The space wasn’t ready for the measure during the first consultation.

The client asked that the heart of the design should be the oversized island, accompanied by Liquid metal details that add sophistication and extra depth to the design. With two seats on the island, it becomes an inviting social hub, perfect for gatherings and casual dining.

We’ve integrated hidden utility doors for a seamless look and easy access to essential kitchen utilities. Our design also features a thoughtful pocket door solution for the breakfast area.

The client requested the oversized island as the heart of the design, with Liquid metal details adding sophistication and depth. We made sure these elements were incorporated into the first design.

For the appliances, we recommend the Gaggenau ovens, known for its exceptional performance and elegant design. To optimise both aesthetics and practicality, we have incorporated Miele downdraft system with an induction hob on the island.

In the utility area, our focus remains on organisation and aesthetics. Concealed washing machines and tumble dryers not only maintain the kitchen’s seamless appearance but also maximise functionality.

CONTRASTING COLOURS PALETTE:

The kitchen boasts a striking two-colour scheme, one side white spray-painted doors and the other rich natural veneer of the Wenge tree. Creating contrast that enhances the overall visual appeal of the space.

COUNTERTOP CHOICE: Our choice for the worktop was Atlas Plan 12mm Silk Calacatta Delicato.
