Kitchen Features

The transformation of the swimming pool area into a kitchen was no small feat. Extensive building work was undertaken to cover the pool and ensure the floor was stable.

Large glazing was added to two of the walls, flooding the space with natural light and enhancing the open-plan design. The final kitchen layout is both functional and visually stunning. Key features include:

  • L-Shaped Island: Serving as the central focus of the room, the island incorporates the main cooking area, ample storage, a breakfast bar, and an integrated dining table. This design allows for easy flow between cooking, dining, and lounging, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining guests.
  • Quooker Boiling Water Tap: Positioned on the sink run, this tap provides instant boiling water, adding convenience to the cooking process.
  • Dekton Worktops: Known for their durability and sleek appearance, these worktops complement the modern aesthetic while offering a practical surface for cooking and preparation.
  • Bora XPure Hob: Integrated into the island, this hob is both powerful and discreet, featuring innovative downdraft extraction to maintain clean lines and an unobstructed view across the kitchen.
  • Siemens Appliances: The kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-range Siemens appliances, including the extra-wide aCool fridge, making both cooking and entertaining effortless.
  • Integrated LED Strip Lighting: Subtle yet effective, the LED strip lighting enhances the kitchen’s ambience, highlighting the clean lines and textures throughout the space.
  • Leicht Cabinetry: The use of Leicht cabinetry ensures that the kitchen is as stylish as it is functional, with a sleek, contemporary finish.
  • Oak Trims and Furniture Highlights: These details add warmth and contrast to the modern design, tying together the various textures used throughout the kitchen.

Outcome

The result is a kitchen that not only meets the Sowden family’s practical needs but also serves as a striking focal point within their home.

The combination of modern design elements with functional features creates a space that is as beautiful as it is practical, perfectly aligned with the family’s vision.

This kitchen, once an indoor swimming pool, is now the heart of the home, where the family can cook, dine, and entertain in comfort and style.
