THE PROJECT
Built in 1790, this house is rumored to be the oldest Cape in its town. Having been restored prior to Tyler moving in, she endeavored to honor the original architecture as well as inject her own modern sensibilities. Custom millwork anchors the kitchen and baths and custom furniture were designed to mingle with art and antiques collected over the past two decades.
PHU YEN VILLA
Located in the idyllic Shibden valley of Calderdale. This impressive new build home was a labour of love for our clients. They wanted to recreate a modern family home with a classical, contemporary feel. The focal point of the kitchen was the large orangery lantern which dominated the back of the room. Our clients vision was to ensure we incorporated this fully into the design of the entire room, combining it with the kitchen, living and dining areas seamlessly.
Our clients were set on symmetry within the overall design and wanted the kitchen to replicate that of a pristine, show home at all times. We worked closely with them to ensure we achieved this symmetry, introducing subtle, unique curves on the island which allowed a smooth transition in circulation between the three sections of the room. We also allowed clever, step forward sections in the long back wall cabinetry to ensure the entire space had depth and presence, making a real focal point for the large mantle and cooking area
