Bamboo House, Nancledra
This kitchen at Bamboo House in Nancledra was designed with no wall units at all, running full height cabinetry to the ceiling instead and letting a single run of oak carry the room from floor to bulkhead.
Every door and drawer front is veneered in Quarter Cut European Oak, book matched so the grain runs continuously up each run of drawers and doors rather than restarting at every unit. Handles are built into the doors themselves as a 30mm solid oak lip, so nothing interrupts the grain, and the doors are finished with a coarse sand and dead matt lacquer to keep a transparent tone to the timber. Panels run to the ceiling with a shadow gap above the units, and the plinth height was taken up to keep that gap as tight as possible.
The island is fitted with a Novy venting induction hob with extraction built into the unit itself, the drawer below cut back to house the ductwork so the hob needs no separate extractor above it. A run of deep drawer packs sits either side, including a dedicated slave drawer for the hob and a 450mm sink base at one end, with an on-site carpenter cladding the sides and back of the island to complete the joinery.
Along the main run, an oven and microwave housing sits beside a tall American style fridge freezer housing, both taken to full ceiling height, with a run of drawer packs below and a dovetailed larder unit with wooden spice racks hung inside the doors. Two Blanco SilGranit sinks are fitted, an Etagon in the island and a Subline along the back wall, paired with a Quooker Fusion Square boiling water tap on the island and an Abode pull-out spray tap on the main run, both in matt black with matching soap dispensers.
The worktop is Caesarstone Cloudburst Concrete, overhung along the island to form a breakfast bar, with drainer grooves and cut outs for both sinks, taps and the hob worked into a single continuous surface. Samsung ovens, a microwave and a dishwasher complete the appliance package. To see more of our work, browse our full project gallery, or visit our Newlyn showroom to see these materials in person.
