Situated in the residential area of Highgate backing onto Wandsworth common this property has a combination on concrete worktops inside and outside of the property. The outhouse at the rear of the property has a self contained kitchen/BBQ area with bespoke black concrete worktops. This is a brilliant example of the multiple applications of concrete for both interior and exterior kitchens. Moving to the inside of the property the pool area has been fitted with a matching black concrete worktop and island. The dark concrete blends nicely into the dark black wall it is set against. The polished concrete has a lovely surface finish and the worktop run has integrated drainage grooves by the sink. Due to the casting process of the concrete all the pieces are individual and show different characteristics of the concrete, creating a very organic feel to each individual piece.

Outdoor kitchen including BBQ, pizza oven and sink. the cupboards are of oak with a concrete worktop.

The alfresco dining area is accessible to the kitchen and outdoors via stacking windows and doors which can be open or closed depending on weather conditions, and creating larger entertaining and living spaces.

My own Cotswold courtyard garden in a simple contemporary style. It has a strong formal structure that is designed to work throughout the seasons. I used mature trees in huge corten steel planters to create structure & shade in this south facing garden & added pretty planting to soften it & add seasonal interest.
