PROJECT DETAILS

OWNERS Emily and Tom Harrington and their two teenage daughters

HOUSE A period flint and brick home in a Hampshire town

WORK Changing the layout to improve the flow and the light, which involved moving and recreating the kitchen to suit modern family life

Emily and Tom Harrington’s stunning country house was a mix of 19th-century and 1980s architecture with a small kitchen and no room to entertain. ‘It felt disproportionate to the size of the house,’ explains Emily. ‘We needed to switch around the space next to it – a library – and open up the area. In doing this, we vaulted the ceiling into the kitchen, which created a sense of space and light.’

THE BRIEF

The Harringtons met Keith Myers of The Myers Touch when they called in at the Winchester showroom. ‘We were using another kitchen designer and it wasn’t coming together, so we talked to Keith and his passion and flair for kitchen design was instantly clear,’ says Emily. ‘We decided that he could make our dream kitchen happen.’
