ELIZABETH & SIMON
After living in their house for 5 years and putting up with ceilings that leaked and no central heating, Elizabeth Kingdon and her family decided to completely overhaul their entire home and chose System Six to design and build their kitchen.
WHY SYSTEM SIX KITCHENS?
Elizabeth took the usual route of speaking to a few different kitchen suppliers before deciding on System Six Kitchens. Anna on of our designers was the first person she spoke to. “Anna was a saint! She’s so good with this style of kitchen and building.” Elizabeth also comments, “it’s nice to have an Exeter-made kitchen that hasn’t gone across the country or the world."
DUAL WORKING ISLANDS
Elizabeth chose to split the kitchen into two zones. The first is the ‘messy’ zone, which houses the bins, dishwasher and backup oven as well as providing plenty storage. This area can’t be seen from the dining table, so any washing up, is kept out of sight.
The second ‘clean’ zone forms part of the dining area. It houses items such as tableware, drinks, a recycling bin and a cupboard for the kids’ arts and crafts items. It is still a working cooking area, showcasing a beautiful Aga and island, “when we are entertaining, we put the food out on the ‘clean’ island, so people can get what they want and take it back to the table.”
BESPOKE ELEMENTS
Elizabeth asked for a floating-effect island. This isn’t an easy effect to achieve, especially as the cabinets required plumbing and electricity. However, along with input from System Six Kitchens’ CEO Ian Foster, Anna and fitter Richard were able to fulfil this request without compromise.
Other unique elements can be found in the Kingdon’s kitchen, such as a charging drawer and ‘cold larder’ – a food storage cabinet with external ventilation.
