About Us

Creative

Tom's background is in bespoke furniture design and making.  He has also worked as a Project Manager on one-off eco homes.  He appreciates timeless, well-crafted objects and spaces, that look beautiful and function superbly.

Collaborative

We are experts at listening carefully and understanding your requirements, offering ideas and solutions until you have the perfect kitchen design.

We work closely with you throughout the process, inviting you to view your kitchen in the workshop, keeping the installation on schedule and ensuring minimal disruption. 

Crafted

Our design and making processes marry craft skills with modern, precision technology. Typically we switch between sketching ideas with pencil and paper and using powerful CAD (computer aided design) software.

Similarly, our approach respects time-honoured practices, though we might be cutting with hand tools, classical machinery, or with our CNC (computer numerically controlled) router. 

Customised

Each of our kitchens is unique to its owner.  With intelligent computer aided design and cutting, we can make cabinets to fit perfectly into even the most awkward spaces and our customers choose from a wide palette of homegrown timbers, natural oil or paint finishes and door furnishings. 

Fulfilling our client's individual aspirations from concept to delivery, our kitchens typically start at £20,000.

Comfortable

We recognise that commissioning a new kitchen can offer a great opportunity to improve comfort through thermal efficiency.

Tom has extensive conservation and ecological building experience, having worked as both a carpenter and an eco-build project manager for many years. We can offer advice on low-energy/retrofit measures and have a network of experts to design and deliver any improvement work.

Conscious

We are proud of the difference our work makes to the lives of our customers and to the environment. Our kitchens are intended to promote the well-being of both you and our planet.

"Trust and diplomacy is crucial when managing the complex process of design and building work - Tom has these virtues in abundance, I would always recommend his services.
