Herne Bay Kitchen

Matisse was approached by our clients to collaborate with them for a kitchen space renovation in their beautiful waterfront house in the heart of Herne Bay.  The clients, very well versed in design principles, had specific thoughts and ideas they wished to incorporate into the layout to create a sleek and streamlined design.

The clients explained their future plans to convert an adjacent outdoor courtyard area into a family room and bar area using the same look and feel of the new kitchen, emphasizing that the design needed to be future-proofed to allow the two spaces to flow seamlessly.

As the kitchen area is also adjacent to an outside deck area that perches above the water’s edge, the harbor view is the hero in this setting.  However, the clients also wanted the kitchen to express their love of contemporary design, to be family-friendly, and to fit in perfectly with the existing features of the house.  The outcome - a beautiful streamlined Arclinea kitchen design suitable for the family of four’s day-to-day use all while providing functionality for entertaining.

An integrated seating area into the island was achieved by incorporating a wood table into the island benchtop design. The Arclinea wood table was installed at the same time as the cabinetry, then the island benchtop i.e. a single large piece of porcelain
