MELISSA KLINK, HEAD OF DESIGN AT HARVEY JONES, TALKS US THROUGH THE THINKING BEHIND THIS UNIQUE KITCHEN IN A CUTTING-EDGE NEW BUILD

1 STRIKING LOOK

Homeowner Andrea Peterson and her husband built this house from scratch with the help of Dwell Architecture & Design. The open-plan living space is double-height in parts, looking up to the glass balustrade of the landing above. Andrea wanted a modern, clean look for the kitchen to reflect the contemporary architecture and fit well with some of the more classic elements. The Linear range by Harvey Jones bridges that look beautifully.

2 TAP CHOICES

While boiling water taps are getting safer all the time, it was felt that a separate boiling tap would be better than a three-in-one model so the children could be issued with an outright ban. When you choose brass fittings, bear in mind that the patina will change over time if they’re not treated. Harvey Jones organised a special coated finish for the brass taps so they will stay looking the same as the handles and other brass details.
