WT Kitchen & Bathroom Supplement
The Maker: Neptune
What was the brief?
A contemporary style kitchen required to suit a modern new
build property, with a sociable open plan living arrangement,
decorated in light/neutral colours/tones and tactile finishes.
The design included a large island with seating arrangement,
along with a bank of full height cabinets to house the majority
of the appliances and the statement Limehouse larder.
What was it made from/finished in?
Tulipwood, plywood and oak, with a handpainted finish in
Neptune ‘Lily’ externally and Neptune ‘Fog’ internally.
What appliances did it incorporate?
A stainless steel sink by Neptune, Neff Hide and Slide ovens,
steam oven, microwave and dishwashers, Neff fully integrated
full-height fridges and freezer and a Bosch wine cooler.
Were there any special requirements for the client?
Dropped ceiling created to house large flush ceiling
mounted extractor, not only functional but forming an
interesting feature – the horizontal LED strip lighting
incorporated reflects the LED lighting installed to the
underside of the worktop above the cabinet doors. A cabinet
was also adapted to conceal the main manifold for the
underfloor heating system – with storage space above.
We worked with the architect to ensure that the worktop ran in
line with the top of the window frame, to conceal it, as one of
the main features of the dwelling are the ‘frameless’ windows.
How much would a kitchen like that cost?
The Limehouse kitchen by Neptune is contemporary
and sleek, however being a Neptune product, we use
only natural materials and traditional craftsmanship in
the cabinetry. To supply the cabinetry cost £27,500.
Installation of cabinetry was £4,250. Supply, template and
installation of worktop cost £6,225. LED lighting was
£500. All appliances (as listed above) came to £9,000.
