The brief

The re-design of their South London home was always intended to produce a space to express themselves and create new product too. Jordan and Russell are renowned for their use of colour, their ability to transform spaces into light, spacious rooms and incorporate both the past and present into their designs. The kitchen was a key focus for the transformation as the pair wanted somewhere that would not only be a place to cook but also be an entertaining space with the wow factor. “As is often the case in older properties, the original kitchen was very small,” explains Jordan, “so after much planning, we knocked down some walls to create the space for the kitchen and dining room.” The designers wanted to make sure the kitchen was stripped back, with clever storage and large units concealing appliances. “What we didn’t want was acres of worktops cluttered with all the usual kitchen appliances - but we still needed an area to prepare and cook food!” Jordan adds.
