Project overview
House Essa
- Client
- Mr. and Mrs. Essa
- Address
- 567 Stephen Dlamini Road, Essenwood, Berea
- Date
- 21 August 2026 | Revision 1
- Scope
- Quotation for the supply and installation of cupboards and worktops.
One connected working plan
- An open kitchen arranged around a long central island.
- A dedicated cooking wall with range and extraction canopy.
- Tall cabinetry housing refrigeration and ovens, kept flush with the run.
- Scullery and pantry set behind the kitchen, so preparation and storage stay out of view.
Who We Are
Bespoke interiors, designed around the way each home is lived in.
We design and make complete living spaces — kitchens, cabinetry, furniture and joinery — for the way each home is actually lived in.
Every project begins with your home, not a catalogue. Each interior is drawn specifically for its space, then made by our own team.
Craftsmanship
Designed and made in house
Our cabinetry is manufactured by our own craftsmen and machine operators, which keeps design intent, detailing and finish quality in one pair of hands from drawing to installation.
It also means a design can be truly bespoke: sizes, proportions and details are set by your home rather than by a standard range.
Selected previous work
Section one
Kitchen
Sample design direction: painted cabinetry, warm timber and veined stone arranged around a generous island.
Kitchen — overall view
The island anchors the room, sitting between the preparation run and the cooking wall.
Layout & movement
Layout & flow
- Prepare & gather. The long island creates a generous shared surface at the centre of the room.
- Cook. The range and canopy form a clear focal point across from the island.
- Store. Refrigeration, ovens and tall cupboards are consolidated along one wall.
- Support. The scullery and pantry sit behind the main kitchen, close at hand but visually screened.
Cabinetry language
Cabinetry & detailing
- Painted fronts give the room a composed, architectural rhythm.
- Wide drawers keep everyday storage close to the preparation surface.
- Tall units integrate the appliance bank so the elevation reads as one continuous wall.
The island
Preparation and storage in one run
Storage runs the length of the island, with the stone top carried across the full working surface. Seating and end detailing are confirmed against the final drawings.
Cooking wall
The cooking wall is framed by a full-height canopy and stone, with the preparation surface immediately alongside.
Tall storage
Appliances held in a single quiet wall
Refrigeration and the oven bank are set into a continuous run of tall cabinetry, so the appliances sit flush and the room reads as joinery rather than equipment.

Section two
Scullery
A working room behind the kitchen: washing, laundry and small appliances kept close but out of sight.
Scullery
Continuous with the kitchen
The same cabinetry colour and stone carry through, so the scullery reads as part of the kitchen when the doorway is open.
Scullery — working runs
Section three
Pantry
Full-height timber shelving alongside refrigeration, sized for open, visible storage.
Pantry
Everything in sight, nothing in the way
Open timber shelving runs the height of one wall, with painted cabinetry opposite. From the kitchen the pantry stays screened, but a few steps away.
