Creative Wood KitchensLess is more, with the clean lines and ergonomic design of this modern lay-on slab kitchen.
The island is finished in Next125’s Glass-Matt Platinum-Metallic, with special grip recesses that lie flush with the surface. The remaining units are finished in a lava black matt, with tall units opened with stainless steel handles, and the remaining base units opened with a push. The island is capped with an iron-glimmer brown ceramic worktop.
Both the kitchen’s submerged sink and induction hob with downdraft extraction is situated at the island, allowing line of sight with family and guests in the living space beyond while cooking or cleaning. The tall bank of units close behind consists of an integrated larder fridge, an off-the-floor dishwasher, and a convenient eye-level Siemens oven are all positioned for maximum comfort and ergonomic use. The kitchen is also brimming with door, drawer and open storage crockery and cutlery alike.
Next125 is a premium product, and the sheer versatility it offers allows designs truly bespoke to the client, with every minute detail adding to its overall luxury. The countertop is built at a higher height that normal, for ergonomic use and increased storage capacity. A reduced height 50mm plinth creates a shadow gap below cabinets, creating the illusion of floating within the space. The sophisticated pocket door system hides away appliances and open storage along the back wall, reducing the visual space the kitchen takes up and leaving more space for the room to breathe.
The resulting design combines exceptional functionality with effortless comfort, where every material choice adds depth and interest while maintaining a minimalist elegance, to make a truly modern kitchen.

Carton InteriorsThis new build apartment came with a white kitchen and flooring and it needed a complete fit out to suit the new owners taste. The open plan area was kept bright and airy whilst the two bedrooms embraced an altogether more atmospheric look, with deep jewel tones and black accents to the furniture. The simple galley galley kitchen was enhanced with the addition of a peninsula breakfast bar and we continued the wood as a wraparound across the ceiling and down the other wall. Powder coated metal shelving hangs from the ceiling to frame and define the area whilst adding some much needed storage. A stylish and practical solution that demonstrates the value of a bespoke design. Similarly, the custom made TV unit in the living area defines the space and creates a focal point.
The House ArchitectsA modern extension to a north-facing period home in Dublin, designed around an internal courtyard. The design maximises every opportunity to invite sunlight and nature into the heart of the home. The extension creates a flexible open-plan space, thoughtfully arranged to accommodate multiple functions — including a kitchen, dining area, reading nook, casual living zone, and a dedicated children’s play area. The feature double-sided fireplace features a concrete base with a beveled edge, creating the illusion of a floating platform.
Creative Wood KitchensThis project was conceived to embody the spirit of the Irish hearth — a place where family, warmth, and hospitality naturally converge.
The kitchen’s two-tone palette pairs deep coal black with characterful oak, its cabinetry crafted with a mix of handled, integrated rail, and push-open doors. Crisp white quartz forms both the worktops and upstand, grounding the design within the wider room. Subtle LED lighting casts a gentle, golden glow, evoking the soft glow of a welcoming fire.
From left to right, the back wall houses the kitchen’ ergonomically integrated fridge/freezer, two eye-level Neff Slide&Hide ovens, pullout bins, double sink, undercounter dishwasher, with wall units storing glassware above and fi-fold doors keep countertop appliances hidden beyond. The island is fitted with a Neff hob, casual seating for three, and several rows of extra-deep drawers for keeping crockery and cookware close to the cooking.
While traditional kitchens often rely on ornate detail to create comfort through convention and connotation, this design achieves the same while maintaining a clean, geometrically pleasing aesthetic. A chimney breast gently veils countertop appliances in shadow, keeping them accessible yet discreet. Parallel lines and edges round into a bevel, organic grain shows through both varnish and paint, and cool polished stone all invite and reward touch.
In essence, through a careful balance of visual cleanliness and cosy materiality, this kitchen works efficiently, looks luxurious, and feels as if coming home to an already lit fire.
