Here we present Stripe kitchen, designed and made for the beautiful Five Acre Barn a contemporary bed and breakfast located near the Suffolk coastline.

Our design approach focused on functionality, simplicity, and craftsmanship. Alongside understated elegance, visual sophistication and attention to detail which are reflected in our material choices and construction methods.

We were over the moon to be invited to create a project at Five Acre Barn, an award winning, contemporary bed and breakfast set in five acres of tranquil garden and woodland on the Suffolk coast.

We love the architectural design of the barn originally conceived by architects Blee Halliganin and the interior styling celebrates birch plywood alongside an electric collections of craft and design-led textiles, homewares and furniture.

The Stripe kitchen was aptly named as it features a linear striped design, which celebrates the layered edge detail of birch plywood layer. One side of each plywood stripe showcases Formica Clementine for an exciting colour reveal, which will be seen when walking past in one direction and the natural grain of the plywood from the other direction. This brings visual excitement and custom detailing to the design. We paired this with reeded and sliding glass doors for the wall cabinet and Folkestone Formica countertops.

Five Acre Barns share there thoughts on the creation of their dream kitchen;

“ We were really pleased when Dual Works agreed to design and build a kitchen for an extension to our home. We have always admired Zoe and Steve’s creativity, use of colour and playfulness and were confident that they would deliver something unique that would enhance the new space. Which they did in spades! Not only is the end product everything that we had hoped for, but the process was inclusive, comprehensive and of course fun. They delivered to the agreed schedule but were also flexible when our build timetable overran. One thing that you can’t so easily tell from photos is the production quality – everything is beautifully made and exceptionally well finished”
