The kitchen of this duplex – fitted out with a FINE design by Santos with Silk Mink Grey fronts – is laid out around a large centre island that holds the preparation, cooking and washing-up areas.
The inner face of the island features a built-in dishwasher, an oven unit and a sink unit. Meanwhile, the outer face combines a drawer unit and panelling finished in Rustic Oak wood.
The kitchen furnishings were rounded off with nine tall units laid out in an L shape, as well as a retractable unit arranged perpendicular to the island. The latter’s fronts can be temporarily hidden away along its sides, providing easy access to the entire space. Its interiors – customised in a Rustic Oak wood finish – include shelves with rear LED lighting, drawers and an auxiliary work area with worktop, lighting profile and plug sockets.

The refurbishment of this three-storey home kitchen melded the kitchen with island, diner and lounge together into a single, practical, multipurpose, open-plan space. To fit it out, a FINE design by Santos was chosen, combining the Mink Grey and Earth Walnut wood finishes.
The furniture has been laid out around an island that holds the preparation and cooking zones. The inner face comes with two drawer units and a hob unit with extractor hood and front ventilation for hob. In contrast, the outer face is clad with a panel that goes all the way to the floor finished in Earth Walnut wood.
The rest of the kitchen cabinets have been laid out in an L. One of the legs holds three tall units that integrate the fridge, freezer, oven and microwave oven, a tall utility unit and a tall larder unit.
The corner of the L shape was used to create the washing-up area, fitted out with a built-in dishwasher, base blind corner storage unit and sink unit with recycling bins in the bottom double drawer. A wine cooler and base unit with double drawers and interior drawer complete the second row of furniture.

The kitchen is the centrepiece of this home’s daytime living area, naturally and harmoniously blending into it. The clean lines of the FINE model by Santos finished in Sand Grey and Light Elm wood were chosen to fit it out.
The furniture is laid out in parallel, with an island made to measure and a long row of units featuring two storage units, a fridge unit and an oven unit at the ends.
The washing-up area is found in the middle of the run, and at the bottom, it features a built-in dishwasher, a storage unit and a sink unit with recycling bins in the double drawer at the bottom. Three wall units with flap doors are found above these units, with fronts finished in Light Elm wood and an LED lighting profile integrated underneath. Three top box units round off the composition, expanding the capacity of the units all the way up to the ceiling.
The island holds the preparation and cooking zones, with a hob unit and two large drawer units with full-extension, large capacity double drawers. The outer face was fused together with wood slats separating the room from the lounge/diner, reinforcing the role of the island as a transition point between the different spaces.
In front of the wood slats, there’s a sideboard from the Santos Living line, made up of three drawer units with double drawers and interior drawers, which serves the lounge as well as the diner.
