Kitchen, Living & Beyond

The modern kitchen is no longer simply a place for preparing food. It is part of the living room, the architecture and the identity of the home.

This detailed guide explores layouts, cabinetry, worktops, lighting, appliances, integrated storage and the small decisions that create a luxurious and functional kitchen.

Written from twenty-five years of building and designing real London kitchens, it sets out the sequence of decisions in the order they must actually be made — so that nothing expensive is discovered too late.
