About The Wood Works The Wood Works was
established by Donna and Richard Delane in 1990 as a kitchen manufacturer and retailer to produce bespoke kitchens
for a broad client
base. Richard started his career working with his father
who was, at the time, running Denmor Furniture. In 2018, they set up their first retail showroom in Mill Hill, north-west London, and produce their kitchens in Letchworth. The company currently employs 40 staff and, with two more showrooms opened last year and a burgeoning social media presence, the business is growing rapidly.
THE PROPERTY A large family home on a prominent road in Radlett, Hertfordshire. The home was acquired by the new owner in 2019 and a full internal renovation was undertaken to update and refresh the look of the home in keeping with the new owner’s tastes.
THE CLIENTS A young professional couple with two children who love entertaining and frequently host dinner parties.
THE BRIEF The original kitchen was very small for the size of the home and not suitable for a family of four. The owners wished to reconfigure the space by opening up a wall in order to make the space open plan, with a dining table and views into the garden. The owners wanted something traditional but timeless, and loved the idea of a green colour with glimpses of a natural wood to bring in some warmth. The clients were also big coffee drinkers, so wanted an area specifically to store and prepare their morning coffees. Refrigeration space was also a priority for the clients, as well as an expansive prep space for baking and a large island with an informal eating area.
