Luxury New Build Kitchen Design in London

This kitchen design project in Denleigh Gardens, London, was designed for a new home and especially for the way the client wanted to live in it.

Introduced through our collaboration with H&J Architects, this new-build in London gave us the opportunity to shape the kitchen from the early planning stages.

The brief was clear: create a space that felt refined, highly functional and beautifully connected to the dining area. We reviewed the initial plans, explored the best use of the room, and developed a layout that brought storage, preparation, cooking, and entertaining into a considered design.

By joining the project early, we could look beyond the cabinetry and think carefully about the space’s architecture. Every element had to work hard: the tall storage, the preparation area, the cooking zone, the dining connection and the visual balance between practical detail and easy luxury.

Our role was to refine the kitchen layout, improve flow, and ensure the finished space felt as resolved as the rest of the new-build interior.

A similar sense of precision can be seen in our Sloane Square project, where integrated appliances, bespoke units and a streamlined peninsula helped create a contemporary kitchen that sits seamlessly within an open-plan living space.

The result is a bespoke kitchen with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, generous appliance integration, a peninsula island and a calm material palette that gives the space both presence and ease.

Working with H&J Architects

This project was a particularly great example of luxury architect collaboration in London. Working alongside H&J Architects allowed us to respond to the project while it was still taking shape. This made a real difference.

We reviewed the proposed kitchen design, discussed options with the client and explored how the room could be made more efficient, more elegant and easier to use every day. The final layout was the result of that collaborative process: considered, practical and tailored to the space.

Open-plan living solutions

To make the most of the room, we placed the tall units along the left-hand side of the kitchen. These floor-to-ceiling cabinets create a clean architectural line while housing two fridge-freezers, two ovens, a microwave, a coffee machine, a pull-out tandem system and generous storage.

This keeps the main appliances neatly contained and gives the kitchen a strong, composed backdrop.

This same thinking shaped our Dvorak project, where floor-to-ceiling oak cabinetry, integrated appliances and bespoke internal storage helped create a warm, clutter-free contemporary luxury kitchen for open-plan living.

The primary preparation and work area is located along the exterior wall, beneath the window. Here, we integrated the wine cooler, dishwasher, pull-out bins and hob, creating a practical run that keeps everyday tasks close at hand.

Bespoke joinery details

The peninsula island gives the kitchen its centre of gravity. Designed for both cooking and connection, it features a flush-fitted Barazza gas hob and a ceiling-mounted extractor hood.

To support this detail, we recommended lowering the kitchen ceiling. This allowed the extractor to sit neatly within the design while creating a natural distinction between the kitchen and dining areas.

A cornice was introduced to bring a more elegant finish to the dining space, softening the transition and giving the open-plan layout a more tailored feel.

The material palette brings depth, reflection and contrast into the space.

The island worktop is finished in Neolith Calacatta Polished, adding a refined focal point with a bright, stone-like surface. The main worktop and sink are finished in Corian, chosen for its seamless look and easy maintenance.

The lower units are finished in high-gloss lacquer, helping to reflect light through the kitchen and give the space a crisp, contemporary feel. The tall units introduce a richer contrast, with a dark wood finish and brass-look channel handles that create a sleek, handleless appearance.

Together, the finishes give the room a balance of warmth, polish and precision.
