This Shaker kitchen in Brockenhurst was created as part of a full reconfiguration of the home, relocating the kitchen to a brighter position with direct access to the garden. Designed within a converted barn, the aim was to transform a previously dark and confined space into one that feels open, light and easy to use.

The cabinetry is from the Mackintosh Sovereign range, finished in Painted Spitfire, a soft blue tone that brings a calm feel to the space. Worktops are in 20mm Leathered Luna Grey, adding a subtle texture and depth that pairs beautifully with the painted cabinetry.
Due to the barn's existing structure, the units were carefully positioned away from the perimeter walls, allowing for deeper worktops that provide generous space for both preparation and display.

Appliances are by NEFF and are integrated to maintain a clean, cohesive look throughout the kitchen.

At the centre of the design is an L-shaped island, created to improve flow and movement around the space. The clients introduced their own live oak feature, raising part of the island surface and bringing a natural, tactile element into the room. This addition reinforces the connection to the surrounding landscape and softens the overall scheme.

We also carried out the full building works for this project, ensuring every detail was carefully considered from structure through to final installation. The result is a kitchen that feels open, functional and filled with natural light, with a strong connection to both the home and its setting.
