Belsize Park

By celebrating craftsmanship and the natural beauty of rich walnut, this new kitchen extension already feels rooted in place and an authentic addition to this handsome period home. The expertly bookmatched walnut veneer doors lend an Arts & Crafts feel, with the horizontal grain pattern lending warmth and texture that’s enhanced by Roundhouse’s unique Antique Brass feature doors on the island. Left unlacquered, the brass finishes in this kitchen will gracefully age and patina in time. Further interesting design details include the woven brass larder doors, which emit a soft warm glow when illuminated from within and the striking African Fusion natural quartzite island countertop. In quiet moments, the cosy walnut-clad window nook with leather upholstery is the perfect spot for a relaxed coffee break.
