The Retreat

About this project

Set within a stunning barn conversion, this modern rustic kitchen blends natural materials with elegant design. The mix of lacquered oak and ash cabinetry creates a soft two-tone effect, enhanced by exposed brick and stone walls that provide a striking, textured backdrop.


The layout features subtle curves on the island and corner units, promoting ease of movement and flow. Dark granite worktops and brushed stainless steel bar handles introduce a contemporary edge, while two Belfast sinks—one on the island—allow for flexible prep and wash-up zones.


A tall bank of cabinetry houses an AGA fridge and freezer, framed by a dovecote-style wine rack and finished with practical open shelving and a display cupboard facing the room.

This kitchen showcases the timeless beauty of natural wood, combined with thoughtful details and a modern twist—crafted to age gracefully and remain stylish for years to come.


We were very proud to have this kitchen featured in Beautiful Kitchens magazine. You can read the magazine feature here.
