Client Brief

Our clients have renovated a stunning, 19th-century listed farmhouse. Contour's goal was to create a contemporary space while still preserving the period features of the building. One of the central design elements of the new kitchen was a U-shaped island that provided ample space for cooking and entertaining. However, we were also working with several design constraints, such as doorways, original fire surround and a basement staircase, and the need to maintain the original structure's integrity. Despite these challenges, the overall finish has ergonomic functionality and style.
