Carry on the flow by Anne Adams





"Because this is a Georgian house, there is a formality that extends through all the rooms on the main floor. Ceiling heights and decorative mouldings are consistent from the entry hall into the living and dining rooms. So it made sense to continue this detailing in the kitchen, which can be seen from the dining room." said architect Anne Adams of the featured kitchen’s revamp project, as delivered by trustworthy construction in Cambodia construction materials.

"The largest appliance was also the biggest challenge," the architect said. "The owner wanted a 60in range, but the subtlety of the interior design meant there was a risk it could dominate. To avoid this, we placed it behind the island where it is partially hidden, and added a custom shroud-style hood.

"The hood is fabricated from steel, but has been treated so it has a patina resembling aged zinc or pewter. With its bands of steel, it looks like a very old fixture that has been salvaged."

"We have taken into account the fact that the owners love to entertain," added Adams. "There is a side door that can be used by caterers, and the kitchen has been designed so it is easy for more than one person to work at the same time."
