THIS PAGE: Margaret Young’s ‘Commercial in the<br />

Country’ kitchen design.<br />

For something quite different but still exuding her signature<br />

aesthetic, Margaret’s award-winning commercial country<br />

kitchen design was created for a homeowner she describes as a<br />

combination of Nigella Lawson and Mary Berry.<br />

“She wanted a generous-sized kitchen with enough capacity<br />

to nourish her busy household,” Margaret explains.<br />

“The extension of her farmhouse involved demolishing its<br />

entire eastern half and doubling the original area. The wish list<br />

included a very specific and detailed scullery layout, four distinct<br />

areas for specific tasks, a large island workspace and a blue and<br />

white colour scheme with a country look.<br />

Part-way through the design process, the client also opted for<br />

a commercial-sized hot plate, which meant she then needed a<br />

commercial rangehood to match.<br />

“Embracing this change, more elements of stainless steel<br />

were added to some of the benchtops and the same steel was<br />

specified for the fridge fronts,” says Margaret.<br />

Judges described this winning entry as “an amazing kitchen<br />

with an incredible pantry – you just want to go here and<br />

immerse yourself with a glass of wine”.<br />

“The commercial elements and appliances within a residential<br />

setting have been integrated intelligently. The designer has more<br />

than met the brief. This space tells a story.”
