Architect Pravin Muthiah of Coupdeville Architectsand interior designer Mirva Yoshinari transformed aburnt-out shell into an unconventional family home.What did you have to work with?Pravin:The house was in a sorry state. After afire it had been gutted and abandoned, with most
of the rear windows missing and the brickworkstill charred. Its only residents were a couple ofpigeons nesting in the open roof timbers. Theaim of the project was to give the property a newlease of life, taking the old layout of the buildingand reimagining it with a more modern feel.
What was the ethos behind the kitchen design?Mirva:It doesnt follow the rules of a typicalkitchen I hate tiled floors, splashbacks, wall unitsand matching this-and-that; its just so boring. Thebrief was that the kitchen should be ergonomic,
comfortable, usable, industrial and visual, withgood entertaining space and points of reclaimedinterest. I didnt want to be too precious abouteverything being perfect, but to have a look thatgets better with age. I love this style; its easy tolive in and works with this type of house.
What is the story behind the storage?Mirva:I mixed Magnet kitchen units with on-site poured concrete, used reclaimed apple andcheese boxes for storage and old brackets forshelving above the counter. Open shelving allowseasier access to everything and looks good too.
What is your favourite part of the design?Pravin: The flank wall in the dining area is myfavourite piece. It emphasises the rawness of thematerials used throughout the room, with theexposed steel and the recovered brickwork from thedemolition of the rear of the house. It brings anelement of the external building that was lost backinside the property, creating a link to its past.Mirva:I love the reclaimed pieces which give itcharacter and retain the cool energy of the past.

Master ensuite
The ensuite bathroom to the master bedroom takes
its inspiration from the idea of the Victorian orangery,
with lots of lush potted plants lling the space andbringing a light, airy and natural feel to the room.
The white freestanding bath is the Cleo from Kohler,
a traditional white Victorian roll-top bath in cast iron
with claw feet, which contrasts sharply with the
bespoke modern glass screen. The curvaceous white
console basin, which stands on shapely white legs,
is the La Chapelle from Lefroy Brooks. In this room
too there are reclaimed features, including vintage
mirrors and radiators, while the narrow hand-made
tiles bring a touch of industrial chic to the design.

Main bathroom
The striking feature of the main bathroom is the
wooden oor, bath surround and wall panelling made
from the houses salvaged old oorboards they
have such a glorious patina and rich character. The
mirror and shermans pendant light are also vintage.
The bathroom has a Bettestarlet bath plus a basin,
pedestal and loo from Duravits 1930 range. The
walls are rendered for a slightly industrial edge, then
nished in Farrow & Balls pale grey Cornforth White.

THE designerIts best to design organically with the house,
and if you can, keep the treasures that are
uncovered. Dont be afraid to bring in reclaimed
features in this case the house was badly
burned so I had to bring in a lot of features to take
it back to what it should be. Mirva Yoshinari,

Building most things in straight lines isrelatively easy, but curves?
Remember geometry class at school? Squares, pentagonsand even decagons were relatively easy but when it came togetting out the compass and dividers pretty much anythingafter a circle was pretty tricky -- an ellipse requires a certainskill and serpentines with increasing radii, well its just too
early for that sort of thing turn it into a three dimensionalobject such as a kitchen cabinet and the fun starts.
Ask any craftsman for curves and immediately mostsuck their teeth and instantly double the price for the jobLong considered pricey and very top-end, now companies
in the mid market are offering off-the-shelf curvedislands with convex or concave curved cupboards,drawers and curved end-of-run wall cabinets too.
Even appliances are getting in on the act

Their Hampshire holiday home needed a makeover,so Janet and Phil Pearce enlisted Andrew Rizza,creative director of Dream Design, to completelyredesign the ground floor, which included designinga light-filled and glamorous open-plan kitchen.
What was the brief?Andrew:Janet and Phil wanted a modern and stylishkitchen that would fit in their open-plan living space.It needed to blend with the living and dining roomand be almost inconspicuous as a kitchen. Janet likesto entertain, so we set about creating a kitchen whichwould be glamorous but in an understated fashion.Janet:I wanted something that looked really modernand was good quality. A local architect suggested Itake a look at Dream Design, and as I walked into theshowroom this kitchen was on display and we said
straight away that we liked it. Im very spontaneouswhen it comes to choosing things for the house.
Why did you choose this look?Andrew:We wanted to create an elegant andcosmopolitan kitchen that would fit seamlesslyinto the open-plan space. The SieMatic S2handleless kitchen is perfect for this as it ishas such a modern but elegant look.Janet:We overlook the sea so its a very sunnyroom; we wanted the kitchen to be bright and airy,and it looks particularly sleek as it has no handles.
What do you like best?Janet:I love the hot water tap so much that Ivejust had one fitted at home, and theres so muchstorage in the kitchen that everything can be tidiedaway and wont gather dust when we arent there.
Has it changed the way the space is used?Janet:The original kitchen was grubby-lookingpine and had a range cooker they are likeMarmite, you either love them or hate them. Ijust couldnt get on with it so I do a lot morecooking now as I enjoy the whole set-up.

The kitchen has a really contemporary and chic feeland it works wonderfully as part of the wider, open-plan space. It also sets the scene for entertainingwith its glossy nishes, layout and bar area. Andrew
The hardest aspect of the kitchen to decide on
was the oor. Cream ceramic tiles were suggested
originally, but Janet opted for darker wood that
would run comfortably throughout the ground oor

Individualise your space --add a shot of colour --whats your favourite?This look is all about you. Weve all got our favourite colour ortwo -- or three and when we wear them we look wonderful,feel great and so positive we could conquer the world In thesame way, youll know when youve found the colours that are
right for your bathroom as theyll make your soul sing.
Work the look once youve found your colours, select a neutral forthem to shine against. White and off-whites work well in the bathroom,
as they reect the light and make a space appear larger, whereasgreys and blacks can make the space appear smaller, but shouldnt be
dismissed as they offer a dramatic contrast to white sanitaryware.
To get the colour pop look the trick is to use colour sparingly,and for maximum impact use it in a way you wouldnt normallythink of. Think surprise! We know its a hard choice, the
range of colours is innite -- just remember, colour is subjective,there is no right or wrong -- for once its all about you.

When Fabian visited Copenhagen he looked throughthe window of the Vipp store and saw his perfectkitchen, designed by Morten Bo Jensen. Shortlyafterwards he found the perfect spot for it, whenhe and wife Dorothee bought the two split level
ground/first floor apartments of a 1967 blockof flats to transform into a family home.
Why did you choose a Vipp kitchen?Fabian: The Vipp store was closed, but I took apicture of the matt black kitchen through the windowto show to Dorothee. We were on the search foran apartment and I knew this would be the rightkitchen. Some months later we were in Copenhagentogether and took a closer look the rest is history.
Did you worry about the colour?Fabian:
The whole colour scheme of the apartmentis based on black and white, with some wood andgold accents to add warmth, so a black kitchen wasthe perfect addition to the whole concept. Therewas a short moment of is that too much black?when the kitchen was being put together on site,but I couldnt imagine anything else now. We aremore than satisfied with our black beauty.
What was the brief?Morten Bo:There was no brief the stainlesssteel Vipp kitchen is based on fixed modules WallModule, Tall Module and Kitchen Island that canbe put together to suit the individual customer. It hasbeen well thought out down to the smallest detail;from the knobs on the cooker to the pull-out sprayon the tap, the kitchen expresses a complete concept.
Are you pleased with the result?Fabian:We love having friends for dinner,thats why we chose to keep the kitchen, diningand living room open-plan; the kitchen isnot only functional but also an importantdesign element of the apartment.

Solid and appearing hewn from one large block of stone,wood or concrete, monolithic kitchen islands demand
attention. Freestanding in the middle of the kitchen, letsface it, theyre hard to ignore. Practical for families and
those who like to entertain, they are also seriously stylish.Capacious, they offer tons of storage and often have drawers
deep enough for the largest of pots and pans -- which isjust as well -- as they look best in a clutter-free space.
Ideally an island should be made in proportion to thespace it will inhabit, as you need room to move around itcomfortably. The material you select needs to be carefully
thought through too. Should it be made of a similar materialto the rest of your kitchen so it blends with it, almost
appearing to grow out from it, or should it be a completecontrast and stand alone, like a piece of modern sculpture?
So what makes monoliths so different to ordinary kitchenislands? One of the most striking things is they are devoid
of all decoration and obvious embellishment. All the storageyou need is there, but clever design and detailing makethe doors and drawers almost invisible. Plus they have no
visible plinth, instead they have a cool shadow gap, whichemphasises the bulk and weight of the piece and underlines
where it stands on the oor -- a bit like you may emphasise aword by underlining it. Solid, monolithic forms are no longer
restricted to kitchen islands, a whole host of other productssuch as cabinets, fridge freezers and extractor hoods arejoining the heavyweights too. Are you ready to go XXL?

This isnt a look for small bathrooms, but if you have thespace these freestanding giants give immediate impact. They
may be humongous, yet somehow make a bathroom seemsurprisingly spacious as everything required is situated in one
huge structure, (ok the loo is best kept separate), in the middleof the room, visually leaving empty space all around the edges.While stone, wood and concrete rock this look in the kitchen,
tried and tested materials that withstand generally wetter,steamier environments, such as solid surface, enamel and
ceramic come into their own in the bathroom. Their simpleappearance allows the monoliths immense form to shine

iving and working in stressful jobs in Dubai, Mike and Redha likenothing better than relaxing in their Lancashire bolt-hole, even more so now
Katie Collins from Devol has designed them the perfectkitchen in the newly extended ground floor.
Its our escape and the place where we do what we enjoy most cookingand entertaining our family and friends. Redhas Algerian and culturally he cannot
let anyone leave the house without feeding them, says Mike. Practically,it needed to work for two territorial cooks and as the soul of our home it
needed to be sociable and sit in the house as though it belonged.
Mike and Redha did a considerable amount of research before buying. We choseDevol after spending months searching the internet and magazines. It was Redha whofound them and instantly we knew that was the look we were aiming for, says Mike.
We flew back to the UK after New Year in 2013, hired a car and drove straight toDevols showroom in Loughborough. Within two hours, wed agreed our kitchen.
We focused on creating a kitchen that would be bright, clean and simple.We eventually settled on a Shaker kitchen that is beautifully simple and timeless.
The choice of colours and tones enabled us to create something that felt bespoke.Devols beautifully understated furniture is inspired by authentic Shaker carpentry,renowned for its functionality, innovative joinery and craftsmanship, adds Katie.
Its impossible to compare with what we had before, says Mike. Our oldkitchen was small, dark and we couldnt swing our neighbours cat in it.
It was just a place to store the shopping. The new one is the centre of ourhome. As avid cooks, who love to entertain, we are so happy (and lucky) to have
a place where we can spend time, eat and drink with the people we love.
L
The size and style of each cabinet is vital to achieve
a good balance between a practical kitchen and an
aesthetically pleasing design. If you want to make a room
feel bigger, select fewer but more substantial pieces,
focusing on simple lines and symmetry where possible.

worse than poor lighting when youre trying to cook. Its alsoimportant to have layers of lighting: bright and focused whenyou need to work, soft and aesthetic when you want to create
warmth and comfort. And its a case of practicality -- beingopen-plan its nice to subdue the spots and hide the dirty
dishes when you join your guests at the supper table.Mike
