DESIGNER: Pippa Paton, Pippa Paton Design THE CLIENT: Life for this family of six revolves around cooking together and sitting at the table generally enjoying family time. THE BRIEF: The clients commissioned Pippa Paton to remodel their Grade II-listed manor house to improve circulation and optimise the panoramic views. The kitchen should be a connected space for cooking, dining and relaxing which embraced traditional family life. A large dining table was key and the clients requested a pantry or back kitchen plus space to display artifacts collected from their travels THE PROJECT: The design approach was to expose and enhance the historic materials of the house and to fuse natural and contemporary materials, along with textural layers and a neutral palette against which to display pieces. An L-shaped area was formed from four rooms, allowing the creation of three distinct areas: breakfast/ dining, kitchen and relaxed seating, with the dining area at the fulcrum of the space. The large table sits by the fireplace and close to a concealed breakfast cupboard. The room’s length was embraced with a 7m-long, copper-painted island allowing the incorporation of triple Bora hobs and a glass topped, illuminated display trough set into the stainless steel and Corian worktop. Parallel to the island is a run of floor-to-ceiling olive wood veneered units, the interesting wood choice gives a distinctive look to a very long run of units which incorporate a fridge and freezer, display niches and a secret door leading to a shelf-lined pantry and secondary washdown area. A glassware cabinet has door panels made from two clear layers of acrylic separated by corrugated cardboard. This unusual material allows light to be transmitted, creating the effect of the glassware glowing when the cupboard is illuminated. Other details include shelves for cookery books and conductive phone chargers in the island. Tub chairs, with large vintage gateposts on the wall behind, provide seating near the preparation end and there is a larger sitting area opposite the dining space. Lighting design and control enable different functions and moods as required. The spatial layout and technical specifications ensure this kitchen meets this family’s desire to spend time together whilst expressing a deep-rooted connection to them though the selection of materials and personal objects displayed.
