JOURNAL
The modern kitchen is often the heart of a home, where time is spent discussing news, relaxing, cooking and entertaining.
If the art of cooking were the only function to consider, the emphasis on layout would only ever be based purely on functionality. But of course, we demand so much more of our modern kitchen, so the design deserves very careful consideration.
We find our clients all have different ambitions for their kitchen, whether they use the space to indulge in their cooking skills or as a main area for socialising – or indeed both. We take all these considerations into account when creating a kitchen; the flow from worktops and islands to areas given over to relaxed dining, or set aside for work or play. The kitchen, more than any other room, is about understanding the brief fully to create the perfect environment.
Saint John kitchens are completely bespoke. They are not built on a modular basis, which means we can design and craft a kitchen to exacting requirements, in virtually any material. Starting with a blank canvas, ideas are shaped and driven by our client’s desires; what they want from the space, and how this works with their lifestyle. Our experience and expertise helps guide clients to meet their expectations without ever compromising on practicalities.
As part of the design process, we show the design as clearly as possible with illustrations, 3D images and sketches, before presenting a fully resolved design proposal. We understand it can be a daunting project and are conscious of our role in giving clarity to that process, guiding every decision with our encyclopedic reference library of materials, finishes and detailing.
The choices may seem endless, but our approach to every commission ensures the journey from planning to installation and final completion never feels daunting. Never working with an in-house design style, we consider every element of the client’s brief, resulting in a kitchen that delights its user for years to come.
