Roundhouse Wins 'Best Kitchen Design' at the Livingetc Style Awards 2025

Modern open-plan kitchen and dining area featuring sleek black cabinetry, a matching island with bar stools, and integrated appliances. A light wood dining table with black-seated chairs sits in front of a contemporary black wood-burning stove, with logs neatly stacked beneath. Minimalist décor, soft neutral walls, and a long linear pendant light create a clean, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic.

We are thrilled to announce that Roundhouse has been crowned the winner of the ‘Best Kitchen Design’ award for the Lipman project at the 2025 Livingetc Awards. This recognition celebrates the very best in contemporary interiors, recognising projects that set the benchmark for design excellence and resonate with a discerning, design-led audience.

The Lipman Project

In designing this bespoke kitchen, our goal was to create a space that seamlessly connects the original home with its striking zinc-clad extension. We chose dark oak, honed granite, and kept the detailing minimalist to echo the architecture’s strength and simplicity. Nestled right at the heart of the home, it’s more than just a kitchen, it’s a visual anchor and a practical space where creative living thrives.

Livingetc described it in a May feature as “an expert expression of modern minimalism” and noted that “with all the greatest advancements in kitchen tech slotted in, this design has quickly made it to the top of our dream modern kitchen ideas.”
