A property in a typical Georgian townhouse in Kensington was recently reconfigured to create a contemporary home. The kitchen is perfectly integrated with the living area: here, the designer Natasha Wegryzin committed to architecture to transform the features of the building – small spaces, original sash windows, high ceilings – and make a distinct aesthetic mark.

The wooden flooring throughout the property, combined with the glass walls and doors, add fluidity to the space as a whole. The monolithic porcelain worktop is kept clean and tidy to avoid making the kitchen area feel too enclosed: the breakfast station has been incorporated into the walnut and brass cabinet, while open shelves allow light to bounce around the room. Natural tones and textures inspire a soft, warm and homely feeling.

A V-ZUG Combair V6000 and CombairSteamer V6000 blend seamlessly with the overall kitchen design concept. The black mirror finish matches the Crittall-style windows, while opting for a handleless door has meant no additional metallic finishes in the space. The appliances have an aesthetically pleasing edge while being sensitive to the architecture of the property, and offer elevated technology too: the owners particularly liked the dial and screen.
