CASE STUDY: A SENSE OF BELONGING
Homes & Interiors Scotland|January - February 2022
More storage is on the wishlist of most (if not all) homeowners, and nowhere more so than in the kitchen. It seems that no matter how big the room is, there’s still never enough space for that stack of pans, or that oversized mixing bowl you got for Christmas 2012. Usually, it’s because the layout is all wrong, and the space isn’t being used smartly.

CASE STUDY: A SENSE OF BELONGING

BRIEF To update and reconfigure the kitchen so it felt more in keeping with the rest of the house. And to provide extra workspace for the owners, both keen cooks.

TYPE OF PROPERTY A modern, architect-built detached house in Edinburgh.

That was the case with this architect-designed property in Edinburgh. The owners felt that their kitchen just didn’t reflect the quality of the finish throughout the rest of their home. “They actually had a decent amount of storage, but the configuration of the units didn’t use the room to its fullest, and it just didn’t work for them as a family of five,” says Louisa Forsyth of Kitchens International, who was brought in to rectify the situation. “I wanted to create a kitchen that serves in a practical sense, with increased storage and a much larger island to expand the worktop area, while also increasing the proportions of the kitchen so that it suits the scale of the room.”

MEET THE MAKER RACHEL MACLELLAN

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
