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.”
