MY SPACE<br />
I still love the feeling that we see the whole<br />
creative process through. If we were buying in<br />
cabinets from China I wouldn’t be interested!<br />
The showroom is our initial point of contact,<br />
where people come in to see what we do and<br />
discuss their projects. As designers, we start with<br />
the dimensions of the space and see what’s going<br />
to work. A design is always the result of a dialogue<br />
between us and the clients. How do they want<br />
to use their space? Is it just a kitchen, a kitchen<br />
dining area, or a general living space? Once we<br />
know a project is going forward we will dedicate<br />
time and consideration to get all the detail right.<br />
Designs are drawn in 3D and give a really clear<br />
picture of what the finished kitchen will look like.<br />
Although we’re best known for our shaker<br />
kitchens, we also do a range of more contemporary<br />
and modern designs, often using innovative<br />
new materials that extend the possibilities<br />
of what is practical to make. Using high quality<br />
board materials (as opposed to MDF or chipboard),<br />
it’s feasible to stretch the practical boundaries<br />
which are a restriction with more traditional<br />
cabinet-making techniques. We enjoy this creative<br />
tension - we’re experimenting all the time!<br />
