Kitchen island Chiselwood Wright

A BIT LIKE A MODERN ART GALLERY A young family breathes new life into an English manor house. The focal point is a bright and colourful hi tech kitchen, which draws attention to the early Georgian architecture, at the same time bringing it into the here and now. IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT It was love at first sight. But it took seven long years until the initial infatuation became a serious relationship. It took that long for the sale to go through and for the English manor to finally change hands. The new owners: a young married couple, who seven years earlier had fallen in love with the feudal building dating from the 15th century. And the funny thing is that both of them have very modern tastes! For that very reason, the vision of the brand new owners was to keep as much as possible of the existing architecture but to make clear adjustments geared towards modern living requirements. Within the historic walls, they wanted to make a home for themselves and their four young children.
