Two Oaks

Nick Dolling at Bradburys of Exeter was asked to work with this huge space, which was originally intended to be a living room, but changed to become a large family kitchen dining and living space in this self-build project in rural Somerset. Usually with a space of these proportions, an island would be the preferred option but from early in the discussions it was a decided that a large curved breakfast bar would be a better option. This allows for masses of workspace and deliberately creates a barrier comfortably keeping guests and family out of the cooking area while cooking. It also serves as a room divider in the large space.
