Bespoke Kitchens NEXT PROJECT
Mandarin Verde
This project was conceived as a fully bespoke intervention, designed and made to sit quietly within the architecture of the home while elevating how it is used every day. The brief was rooted in warmth, longevity, and function, with a strong emphasis on natural materials, craftsmanship, and spaces that feel lived in rather than styled.

Throughout the project, we worked closely with the clients to understand how the rooms needed to perform, from daily routines to moments of gathering. The result is a cohesive material story that runs through the home, defined by rich timber, grounded colour, and thoughtful detailing.
The kitchen is anchored by deep olive green cabinetry, chosen for its depth and timelessness. This is paired with natural oak fronts and open shelving, bringing warmth and texture into the space. A playful mandarin tone is introduced on the island as a quiet accent, adding personality and contrast without dominating the palette. Ribbed glass wall units soften the elevation and allow light to pass through, while also giving everyday objects a place to be seen. Brushed brass hardware was selected for its warmth and the way it complements both the green cabinetry and the timber finishes.
The layout was carefully designed around how the clients cook, store, and move through the space. Storage is generous yet unobtrusive, with bespoke internal fittings and integrated appliances ensuring the kitchen remains functional, calm, and visually balanced.
The boot room continues the same material language, creating a natural transition from the kitchen into a more utilitarian space. Oak clad walls provide warmth and durability, while bespoke green cabinetry offers practical storage for coats, shoes, and everyday essentials.
Hooks, benches, and shelving were designed at considered heights and proportions to suit daily use, making the space feel both functional and inviting. The result is a hardworking room that feels intentional and refined, rather than purely practical, reinforcing the sense of craftsmanship that runs throughout the project.
