There’s hardly ever just one way to design a room. In this one, not returning along the end wall was the key to this particular solution. All the appliances and utilities are fitted into and on either side of the chimney-breast, leaving room for a substantial peninsula with nothing but clear worktop, deep drawers, and of course some open shelves on the living-room side. It’s a modern use of space with an Edwardian or Victorian fitted feel. Rendered in ArtiCAD.
