The artist owner of this ground-floor flat in a Georgian townhouse in London’s Islington recruited Jack Trench, who runs an eponymous kitchen and furniture design firm, to come up with a clean-lined galley that looks at home in its historic setting. Maximum storage was also requested, along with plenty of elbow room. Join us for a look at the shipshape results.
The kitchen has windows at either end: the French doors overlook an eating area and garden.
The counters are Silestone in Gris Expo, as are the backsplashes (with a suede finish).
“Our client wanted lots of cupboard space for both everyday crockery and glassware as well as less frequently used kitchen equipment,” says Jack, like juicers and ice cream machines.
The drawers have finger scoops in lieu of hardware, and custom fittings, such as this cutlery drawer of birch plywood.
“There are two sinks here—it’s always useful to have more than one sink unit,” says Jack.
The cabinets are detailed with birch plywood pulls and interiors. Jack notes that the cabinets on this side were designed “for easy access when emptying the dishwasher.”
The room opens to the dining area painted Farrow & Ball’s All White.
