PROJECT DETAILS

Located just a stone’s throw away from Tower Bridge in historic Shad Thames, this dreamy London apartment is the result of a full scale renovation project.

Originally two smaller and darker separate rooms, the renovation revolved around opening up the main living space to create an open plan kitchen, dining and soft seating area that felt lighter, brighter and more sociable. The original steel supports that were hidden away were uncovered and painted in our bespoke ‘Bowler Black’, brick walls were exposed and a new wooden herringbone flooring installed to provide the perfect foundation for the new interior design of the project.

Spenlow cabinetry with polished nickel hardware finished in H|M ‘Tailored Grey’ (perimeter and TV cabinetry) and H|M ‘Bowler Black’ (island and steel beams) was specified to create a classic contemporary feel for the room.

Kitchen

The homeowners wanted their home to be a welcoming, calm and relaxed environment for the family to enjoy but they also love to entertain at home so the kitchen needed to look the part but also be a practical, working kitchen. As with many of our projects, the false chimney has been utilised to create a focal point in the room. Westin extraction is concealed within the chimney housing, with a powerful gas hob directly below and worktop space either side used as additional food prep space. Behind the hob is an antique effect mirror splashback that bounces light back into the room and keeps the cooking host connected to those sat at the island or soft seating area behind. Chimney niches have been integrated into either side of the chimney and are perfect for small useful items that might otherwise get lost at the back of a cupboard. Beneath the cooktop are two single pyrolytic ovens for maximum cooking convenience.

Cooking Run

To the far left of the cooking run is a large stainless steel French door Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer which has been designed into cabinetry with a shelf above for cookbooks. To the far left of the run is a crockery cupboard providing full height easy access storage for glassware and tableware. A day pantry is positioned to the right hand side of the island to provide dry food storage and a spot for countertop appliances and the microwave, while a wine cooler is positioned just to the left of the pantry with extra countertop space above.

The island is directly opposite the cooking run and has been designed to be used for the bulk of the food prep and has a large sink and polished nickel taps. Under the counter to the left of the sink is a pull-out bin, and to the right a dishwasher for quick and easy clearing away.

TV Cabinetry

As well as the kitchen, we also designed, manufactured and installed the TV cabinetry in the same Spenlow design as the kitchen. This cosy area is perfect for relaxing evenings at home and the bespoke design of the cabinetry provides space to display photographs and books with closed storage below for all the bits and pieces you don’t necessarily want out on show.

Shad Thames Project

This dreamy London apartment project consists of an open plan kitchen, dining and soft seating area creating a light and bright living space. The kitchen consists of Spenlow cabinetry with polished nickel hardware finished in H|M paint colour ‘Tailored Grey’ on the perimeter and H|M ‘Bowler Black’ on the island and steel beams (an exclusive colour to Humphrey Munson by Mylands).

A calm and welcoming kitchen designed for relaxed family life as well as entertaining at home. The false chimney is the main focal point of the space and features an antique effect mirror splashback behind to bounce light back into the room. To the left of the cooking run is a large Fisher & Paykel French door refrigeration unit. The island sits opposite for the bulk of the food prep and offers space for counter stools so that children can perch and complete homework whilst dinner is being prepared.

Finished in H|M paint colour ‘Bowler Black’ this island has seating for three. An antique effect mirror splashback is featured behind the false chimney providing multiple purposes: to bounce light back across the space and for the cook to maintain conversations with guests (or keep an eye on children) perched at the island.

The false chimney acts as the focal point to this kitchen and conceals Westin extraction inside. Directly beneath the chimney are gas hobs, and behind an antique effect mirror splashback to help bounce light back into the room. Integrated into either side of the chimney are chimney niches for storing small everyday items like bowls and condiments so that you don’t have to root around in drawers when cooking.

Used predominantly for food prep, this kitchen island is opposite a cooking run. Featuring a large Kohler sink, Perrin & Rowe tap with rinse and a Quooker hot tap (all in polished nickel to match the surrounding hardware), the run also has a pull-out bins and integrated dishwasher underneath the counter for far as easy clearing away after mealtimes.

The original steel supports in this project were uncovered during a restoration then pained in H|M colour ‘Bowler Black’. The brick walls were also exposed, and a new wooden herringbone flooring installed to provide the perfect foundation for the new interior design of the project which is now a super cool spot for a classic contemporary dining space.

Designed and manufactured by Humphrey Munson, this TV cabinetry is finished in H|M paint colour ‘Tailored Grey’ (an exclusive colour to Humphrey Munson by Mylands). As part of a cosy soft seating area that’s perfect for relaxing evenings at home and the bespoke Spenlow design of the cabinetry provides space to display photographs and books with closed storage below for all the bits and pieces you don’t necessarily want out on show.

This soft seating area is located just off the main kitchen space and features TV cabinetry designed and manufactured my Humphrey Munson.
