This Open-Plan Kitchen in a Period Property in Chislehurst Was Designed to Feel Like A 'True Room' In The Home

Open plan modern kitchen with dark cabinetry, a split island, and a marble backsplash.

Nestled in the leafy suburb of Chislehurst, surrounded by nature and overlooking a duck pond, this striking family home brings a touch of modernity to the storybook settings.

The project was a chance for Matt and Louise McGarry, the husband-and-wife duo behind Studio Braw, to explore the intersection of traditional and contemporary design styles, creating their own concept of the 'modern heritage' trend in a way that felt truly reflective of the large family they were designing this home for. Drawing inspiration from the original architecture of the period property, as well as the family themselves, this project speaks to Studio Braw's holistic design approach.
