"Our starting point is usually the devices. Once we know the customer's requirements, we can work from there, "says kitchen designer Emily Rumble. "So, in this case, the double furnace came first."
Customers were initially eager to have a stove, but they changed their minds in favor of two ovens undermounted. They loved the functionality of modern kilns and also wanted to maximize the workspace. The hob takes up less space than a stove, but still offers a generous number of burners. "It's perfect for a small space," says Emily..

design of the original kitchen Rumble featured a lot drawers on each side of the ovens, but customers decided they did not need so many drawers and prefer the look of cupboards. So two extra-large single drawers now flank the ovens and contain all utensils owners need during cooking.
"wide drawers are very practical," says Rumble. "You can store much more in them than in two small."

the high ceiling allowed high cupboards, which the designer halved. "If I had done the cabinets with one door each, there would have been too much movement when they were open," she says. "They should also look too stretched."

the sink in the farm stands between an integrated dishwasher and a bin cupboard of equal size. The double sink 80cm was the perfect size to fit the space and helps to create symmetry. Indeed, every element of the kitchen is symmetrical, including larder units and fridge and the oven area.
"We use this idea of symmetrical design in most kitchens, but it works particularly well in a small space," says Rumble. "The room could feel crowded and busy, but keeping a balanced and simple design, it looks less confusing."

Behind the sink is a marble insert tap. "With wooden worktops, we always recommend a valve insert," says the designer. "You often do not see what happens in the taps until it is too late. If there is a leak, the marble stop water infiltration through and ruin the wood surface. "
