owners are keen to incorporate an island in their kitchen. "They want casual dining room and a formal table and chairs in the dining room next door," said Parkes. "This is a place where children can have breakfast while their mother was busy on the other side."
The island also contains plenty of storage, with a closet visible here and deep drawers on the opposite side.
base cabinets and the island is faced with rough-sawn oak laminate. "This is a product that is truly functional and high-end," said Parkes. While the actual rough-sawn oak stain and mark easily, the laminate is very practical and durable. "You can drown in the water and it will be fine," he said.

the worktops throughout is ceramic that looks quite like Calacatta marble. "Marble is not ideal for the kitchen, because it is porous and stains easily," said Parkes. "It does not have the longevity of the ceramic and it was expensive. Ceramics are scratches, heat- and stain-resistant.
