Modern Kitchen Design – Hatfield Project

We have a door company that we call Dendra Doors where we make overlays and finishes for IKEA cabinetry. We have some of that in here, and then we did use some IKEA cabinets. All the cabinet bases themselves are IKEA and I have some Dendra overlays and IKEA overlays.

Dendra Doors & IKEA Sektion KitchensPart 1

During John Webb’s final walkthrough of the Hatfield project he talks about the custom IKEA Sektion Kitchen, Dendra Doors fronts on IKEA boxes, and the importance of streamlined storage in a modern kitchen design. The unique finish John came up with that is featured on the outer panels of kitchen island is a great example of John’s approach to style and function.

“We have a door company that we call Dendra Doors where we make overlays and finishes for IKEA cabinetry. We have some of that in here, and then we did use some IKEA cabinets. All the cabinet bases themselves are IKEA and I have some Dendra overlays and IKEA overlays.

The Island in here is all, debris basically, that we repurposed and sandblasted. So these old 4x4s came out of a project. They might have been a deck, somebody’s deck years ago. So you can see the caveness and imperfections of everything. Let alone after I sandblasted everything it really gives it a lot of character.

When I designed this island – it got a little bigger as time went on and after I got into the house – but I really like to utilize space. So we go all the way where everything where everything is built so you can roll it out. And storage of things where lets say your holiday stuff and stuff that you don’t use all the time. This is a great place to store stuff underneath here.

As I come in here to the kitchen the staircase is on the other side of this wall, so I utilized all of the space in here to tighten up the design. Here I basically took the IKEA bottoms and made them uppers. So I have a full depth – 24” deep cabinets and I had glass shelves made for them. So we honestly used all of the space underneath the stairs that’s awkward anyways for that. And then we altered the base cabinets to fit in here so we have the full two drawers built in all the way across.

So that’s basically a detail of just space planning to utilize as much space as possible instead of having a hunk of furniture in here taking up more square footage. So, what it does is let you move things around instead of being held hostage by your furniture, your storage is pretty streamlined.”
