FINE GRAIN
This project was a truly wonderful home in East London featuring an innovative design of a traditional building. The large detached house had an intricately designed extension to frame the views and bring the landscaping inside. This included a reflecting pool perfectly lined up with a frameless window with seat. Honed were commissioned to complete all the joinery throughout this large house.
In this thoughtfully executed renovation, Honed demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship through a series of standout installations. The heart of the home features a striking kitchen with a harmonious blend of bespoke cabinetry and a statement single-piece metal island sourced directly from Denmark. Adjacent utility spaces were transformed with integrated storage solutions and a distinctive concrete sink and worktop. Throughout the ground floor, custom joinery creates functional zones—from inviting bookshelves and a study area to a feature fireplace surround—all finished in a sophisticated palette of birch ply, black stained veneer, and tailored painted surfaces. Upstairs, the bedrooms were elevated with custom wardrobes, including a meticulously designed dressing room with pull-out storage and ambient LED lighting. Elegant headboards with integrated lighting and storage further enhance the bedrooms' functionality and aesthetic appeal. In a particularly inspired touch, a garden-facing study nook was created by transforming a window opening with deep boards, providing a serene workspace bathed in natural light.
