St Albans Cottage

A modern, minimalist yet playful kitchen brilliantly built into the quirky angles of a Victorian townhouse.

A modern kitchen with black-framed glass doors leading to a patio. The room features a small wooden dining table with blue cushioned benches, a fruit bowl on the table, and two framed posters on the wall. A tall wooden cabinet with wine storage is nearby

Designed by architect Jake Lai, the kitchen cleverly makes the most of the tricky layout and natural light to make a beautiful cooking and eating space.

A modern kitchen with wooden cabinets, built-in oven, knives on a magnetic strip, and a bowl of fruit on the counter, leading into a living room with a blue sofa and window

The kitchen features frameless Ladbroke doors in a brushed limed oak finish, which, as Jake puts it, “highlights the beautiful natural grain pattern, lifts the space, and provides a neutral background for color.”

The center of the room features a custom-built narrow kitchen island on wheels, creating extra storage and countertop space.

A modern kitchen with light wood cabinets and geometric patterned floor tiles. A rolling cart in the center holds containers and books. The kitchen features a built-in oven, floating shelves with utensils, and a bowl of green apples on the countertop

Beautiful but practical storage solutions mean the kitchen is a vibrant space, but one that also brings calm through its clean, minimal countertops.

Modern kitchen with hexagonal peach-colored tiles, a white sink with a silver faucet, and wooden shelves holding cups and plants. A bowl of fruit is slightly visible in the foreground

Questions & Answers

Do you fit?

We are just as happy to fit, or simply supply the kitchen for your contractors to take it from there. Many of our clients are undergoing wider renovation projects, so using the contractor or a local carpenter or fitter can often be the most cost-effective option.

We are now also offering a fitting service in Greater London and the surrounding area, so please enquire with your designer as part of your design consultation and we'd be happy to help!

Do you come on site to measure?

A final site measure is all part of the fitting service, but if you would like us to come and do a final measure if your contractors are fitting, that's no problem. Depending on the complexity of the space and the travel distance from either London or Norfolk, the site measure starts from £250. All we ask is that your room is ready for us!

Where can I see one of your kitchens?
