Belsize Park Victorian Home

This elegant basement kitchen in a five-storey Victorian home was once a derelict shell—dark, damp, and disused. As part of a full renovation, the entire building was taken back to brick and reconfigured, with new layouts, services, and interiors throughout.

The kitchen was conceived as a welcoming, social space where cooking and entertaining could effortlessly coexist. A large central island forms the heart of the room, offering generous prep space, seating, and a natural gathering point. Bespoke cabinetry conceals ample storage, while a walk-in pantry adds both function and charm.

Tall steel-framed doors open onto the newly landscaped garden, flooding the space with light and creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. A palette of layered neutrals, natural textures, and warm brass detailing gives the space a calm, collected atmosphere.

The result is a kitchen that’s relaxed yet refined—crafted for modern living, and quietly luxurious in every detail.
