THE DUSK PROJECT
Designer: Katy
Completed: October 2025
This project transformed a previously segmented layout, once divided into three separate rooms (a kitchen, dining room, and bedroom) – into a stunning open-plan kitchen-diner designed for modern family living.
The homeowner, who has lived in the property for 38 years, described this as her third kitchen renovation and the one that finally brought her vision to life.
“I’ve always lived in my kitchen. It’s where people come round, where we talk, cook, and entertain. My grandson, who’s 16, even likes to bring his friends round just to show them the kitchen!”
Design Approach
Katy worked closely with the client to refine and realise her vision. The homeowner arrived with a sketch of her dream kitchen, and Katy translated that concept into a beautifully functional and balanced design.
“I knew what I wanted, and Katy was brilliant at working out how it would all come together. She’s a great listener – and it was lovely to have a woman designing the kitchen.”
Symmetry was a major theme throughout, with careful alignment of cabinetry, appliances, and sightlines to create a harmonious aesthetic. The finished space blends functionality, modern elegance, and personal touches that reflect the family’s lifestyle.
