Duffield House – Belper

Duffield House – Belper

This young family had purchased this beautiful house that sits within a large, private plot with mature hedgerow to all sides. The only element of the property that needed to be assessed was the kitchen area that was small, dark and didn’t mirror the other spacious rooms within the house. It was clear at our initial meeting that the owners had a defined style when furnishing their home.

Each room was minimal in colour pallet and simple in layout but the introduction of one piece of furniture as a focal point made each room. We adopted the same approach to the kitchen extension with the form of the addition and the kitchen design being very subdued and secondary to the primary focal point which is the garden and the surrounding views of the Derbyshire countryside. We had the opportunity to specify extremely large glazing units that have a minimal frame (30mm) which ensures that the amazing views become part of the internal space.

Further works to landscape an area between the kitchen and the pool house completes the scheme and creates a unique and exquisite composition to this modern family.
