Room for all

In this light, galleried setting, a well-stocked library makes for a pleasant spot in which to read, study or work while overlooking the Cooking kitchen below - whether interacting with the chef or savouring culinary aromas. At the centre of attention, a robust island interprets the most topical aspects of luxurious yet practical design while the use of stainless steel punctuated by high tech appliances aids the professional, hygienic result. Accessories include a selection of wooden tableware, chopping boards and seating to add an organic, more aesthetically inviting touch. Prices on request, at Xera.
