Tour this hidden kitchen where the design brief was to create a space nothing like a 'normal kitchen'

Kitchen in period property with pale coloured cabinets and dark wood island with marble stone counter top.

When redesigning their home, the owners of this Kensington townhouse wanted to capture a sense of ‘ease, light, and connection to the outdoors’. Having previously been based in Corsica, the French couple wanted their new London dwelling to recapture the energy of their Mediterranean home and help their daily lives feel effortless. This was the inspiring force behind their new kitchen by Roundhouse Design.

With a new baby on the way, the space needed to be a comforting and functional space for their growing family of soon-to-be four. Mathilde, from a family of gallery owners, and her husband David, who also has a love of the arts, both share a strong appreciation for beauty and history and immediately fell in love with the mid-19th-century townhouse on viewing it.
