A basement level kitchen in the heart of Leamington Spa. A large Carrara Island is set against the soft black of the italian slate, which will mature with time and the rigours of daily use in this family kitchen.

The kitchen being below ground level caused difficulty in delivering the island. The stairwell was too tight and the piece too heavy to carry down manually, luckily the light-well / front courtyard provided a convenient means of lowering the island in by crane.
