The Old Vicarage
Project in Brief
Project: Private Home
Location: The Old Vicarage, Derbyshire
Scope: Spatial design, kitchen design
Style: Minimalist, contrasting with the character of the existing building
Architect: James Boon Architects
Interior Designer: Hookway Design
Features: Stained oak cabinetry with minimal framing, integrated handles, thin-profile worktop, bespoke suspended lighting above the island
Overview
Working in collaboration with Hookway Design and the client team, we developed the kitchen design for this extended period property, carefully considering how the new space would function and feel within the context of the existing building.
The layout was refined through a series of design discussions, ensuring the proportions, materials and detailing aligned with both the architecture and the client’s vision.
Design & Material Approach
A minimalist kitchen was introduced to contrast with the character of the original building, creating a calm and contemporary focal point within the extension.
Stained oak cabinetry, defined by its minimal framing and integrated handles, brings warmth and subtle texture to the space. A thin-profile worktop and bespoke suspended lighting above the island reinforce the clean, architectural quality of the design.
Material samples and prototypes were developed to allow the client to engage directly with the finishes before manufacture, ensuring a confident and considered final outcome.
Delivery
Following a detailed survey and technical design phase, the kitchen was manufactured in our Nottingham workshop and installed on site.
Close coordination with the wider project team ensured the kitchen was integrated seamlessly within the completed space.
A comparison of the existing space and the completed kitchen highlights the transformation in layout, materiality and overall feel.
