CLARK

We recently completed this sizeable project for the Clark family, transforming their kitchen into a chic scene with a light wooden aesthetic, and developing a full orangery extension to match. The latter aspect included fitting bifolds and an expansive roof lantern — whether the light’s pouring in on a summer’s day or you’re stargazing in the spring, it’s a beautiful feature. 

We oversaw every part of the decorating, too, with flourishes extending to the outdoors — the plush light-grey decking, surrounding fencing, and the flower beds were all by the hand of Orchard Kitchens, complementing the sleek new indoor spaces and bringing new life to the back of the house. 

The kitchen, then. It’s got all the staples of a modern fitting, sure — with glass splashback, Quooker tap and handy undercabinet LED strip lights. But the room comes into its own when you consider it as a whole. From the outset, this project was focused on a smart, minimalist aesthetic and the use of organic colourways. Atop the centrepiece island is a bespoke Specva white oak wooden worktop. Around it are features and cupboards of fresco truffle and fresco cashmere shades. The result? A nice, warm space, all of which is complemented by the weathered elm floor underfoot, which is laid in a herringbone pattern.

This was a big project, and one that challenged our expertise, but we’re incredibly proud of how it turned out. Thankfully, the Clark family are too!

Amazingly considering the ongoing Covid issues, the whole build and kitchen project was completed on schedule. They were very flexible in minimising the disruption, even allowing us the use of a functional kitchen for most of the period.

Gideon was great at listening and guiding the process of designing the living space we imagined.

We now have a bright, functional, spacious area, which has transformed the house:))
Lovely for entertaining too.

Thank you very much Gideon and Chris. We would highly recommend the Orchard team.
