Info
A 1930s townhouse in Porto with a kitchen that had grown in pieces over ninety years. We took it back to one calm room and lined the long wall in oiled white oak, with a worktop that runs from the window to the stairs.
Problem
The old kitchen was four rooms of furniture squeezed into one: three heights of cupboards, no worktop longer than a metre and a fridge that blocked the only window.
Solution
One oak wall from floor to ceiling hides the fridge, the oven and a pantry, so the room reads as a single piece of furniture. Push latches keep the fronts clean, and the worktop is cut from two boards so the grain runs unbroken.
