Kitchen Designer of the Year 2023

Samantha Mascari

The Scott house is a family home wanting an open living space. To be included: Lots of seating ‘zones’ for breakfast, lunch, fancy dinners and work space. A perching spot at the breakfast bar was a must for guests to have a drink whilst the host was cooking and a ‘day table’ where they could see the television in the lounge area.

This is a new build property and in fact a set of four properties and I had already designed the kitchen before I met the purchasers, luckily the developer had agreed to allow each purchaser to choose their own colours and gave them the opportunity to add and upgrade to their own specification and style. Finally a builder that understands we are all different!

Richard and his Wife, Angela, came looking for a solid painted kitchen that can offer a luxurious yet welcoming feeling. The pair had some key requests such as an indoor drinks station, and a curved island but the rest was open for discussion. Our client has a background in shop-fitting so attention to detail and creating a quality finish was very important to them.

This is a very sociable family kitchen for two sisters, seven children and two husky dogs, that also has bags of style. Our clients pooled resources for a shared house and the kitchen renovation was to be the heart of the home. The kitchen was required to be inclusive and accessible as well as a functional and welcoming space for everyone in the household.

Meeting with Justin & Bon and hearing how fixed they were on their design raised some concerns. There were areas I felt needed challenging. Asking a few probing questions I was able to test how open they would be to alternative ideas. It took some persuasion but they allowed me to make amendments so long as I could provide added functionality, ‘gadgets’ and accessibility. Their broad vision was inline with my own design style and outlook however, there were plenty of areas for functional improvement and attention to detail.
