A Kitchen Full of Character
The Martin Project is a soulful expression of Corby Croft’s Signature Shaker design, refined with an elegant lamb’s tongue beading that softens the lines and elevates every edge. Painted in Porcelain, a soft and luminous neutral, the cabinetry casts a warm glow as the light moves through the room, classic yet quietly contemporary.
Constructed using 25mm solid maple doors, every piece in this kitchen has a reassuring weight and presence. The timber’s natural grain sits just beneath the painted surface, revealing itself subtly under touch and light.
At its heart stands a showstopping Ash-stained island, crafted to be freestanding and fully mobile, allowing the room to adapt to the rhythm of family life or moments of entertaining. Stained to a rich, smoky hue, the island anchors the kitchen like a piece of bespoke furniture functional, tactile, and richly detailed.
Details That Define Luxury
From the oak dovetail drawer boxes to the fully integrated Miele appliances, luxury here isn’t just skin-deep, it’s in every mechanism, every join, every considered choice.
A Rangemaster Elise range cooker in slate, with aged brass accents, offers a striking contrast and centrepiece for the cooking zone. Above, the bespoke wall cabinetry conceals intelligent storage and seamlessly integrates a Miele coffee machine and microwave, preserving the purity of the design.
The work surfaces are clad in Ferro Cochia quartz, chosen for its deep, natural veining and soft sheen. Full-height upstands bring a sense of clean architecture to the space, while Corston aged brass handles add a refined warmth and weight to every touchpoint.
Seamless Transitions: From Kitchen to Boot Room
Moving through the space, a beautifully crafted boot room and seating area sits at the threshold, designed not as an afterthought, but as a continuation of the kitchen’s elegance. Pull-out oak storage provides a practical solution for shoes and outerwear, while a solid oak worktop, stained to match the island, ties the palette together in a seamless finish.
This front-facing area invites you to pause, sit, and savour the moment, just as much as the kitchen itself does.
A Space That Works Beautifully
As always we worked closely with the Martin family throughout our entire process, from consultation & design, to fitting and final touches – we’re thrilled with how this bold take on our classic Signature Kitchen turned out.
