Lyndhurst Gardens Kitchen

Lyndhurst Gardens Kitchen

Material - No-Chip Product - Pewter In the tight confines of a traditional kitchen recess within this Victorian flat the client looked to maximise functionality without losing sight of a mid-century aesthetic. Pairing Pewter No-Chip with cherry cabinetry and bespoke hardware kept the material language thoughtful without overwhelming the space. Material choice in small spaces encourages the use of gentle texture and materials that have continued interest when viewed closely. Our gentle products such as No-Chip and Elenite, are uniquely suited to a use such as this. Design - Studio Teller Photography - Richard Gaston Styling - Studio Kumari

Bahr Residence

Material - Foresso Product - Charcoal Walnut with bespoke inlaid Walnut planks This unique project for 212box's ambitious Bahr Residence in Texas, USA, incorporated Walnut planks into the Charcoal Walnut flooring. Each plank was cut and inlaid by hand to produce this unique floor. With the penthouse flooded with light every fine detail of the timber is highlighted and sits in harmony with a staggering array of handmade furniture, objects, and artwork. Living Room   Dining Room   Master Bedroom In the master bedroom the inlaid plank tiles were used to deliniate living and seating areas while the bed and its bespoke rug took a quieter approach on standard Charcoal Walnut tiles.

Material - No-Chip Product - Azure No-Chip and Sage No-Chip In this busy family home we supplied both Azure and Sage No-Chip for counters, joinery, and cupboard fronts. This was paired with a textural oak veneered plywood to bring warmth and depth to the entire space. By pairing our No-Chip surfaces with clean white walls and accent woodwork the client created a pratical but design led home full of details to be enjoyed everyday.

Taigh na Coille House

Taigh na Coille House

Material - Foresso Product - Charcoal Walnut Taigh na Coille - House of the Woods - is a new sustainable two-bedroom cabin on Sutherland’s wild Atlantic coastline. A core ambition of the project was to create a building that has minimal impact on the environment, achieves Passive House levels of insulation and uses low-carbon materials. Our Charcoal Walnut was chosen for the kitchen to create a link between the material language of the house and the everyday kitchen space. A core ambition of the project was to minimise the local and global environmental impacts of the building by adoptinga rigorous approach to sustainability that is holistic, defined, measurable and robust. The design targeted the moststringent standards of the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, which will be tested now that the building is in use.

House Made by Many Hands

House Made by Many Hands

Material - Foresso Product - Bianco London Plane This home demonstrates how a Victorian house can be transformed with substantially reduced environmental impact. Minimising use of steel, concrete and internal linings achieved a Lifetime Carbon figure 40% lower than if it had been built conventionally. The design was driven by a strategy of working with what was there, the carbon content of necessary new materials, their buildability and cost. A spacious kitchen for the chef client is the renovation’s heart, with new sightlines and increased daylight. Spaces are defined through considered placement of structural piers and changes in floor level. Glass doors connect the home office to a roof terrace. Timber structure was employed in place of conventional steelwork throughout, fully demountable at the end of life. The project is the UK’s first building structure to specify limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) concrete, a product which has the capacity to reduce global CO2 emissions by 1-2% if adopted universally. Using this new technology did not distract from the responsibility of making a unique home for the client, one that they enjoy as "lighter, roomier, more functional and more beautiful, whilst remaining true to our values.” NLA Don't Move Improve Awards 2024: Winner of the Environmental Leadership Prize.Hackney Design Awards 2024: Overall Winner and Commendation for Sustainability.
