St Albans Cottage

A modern, minimalist yet playful kitchen brilliantly built into the quirky angles of a Victorian townhouse.

St Albans Cottage

A modern kitchen with black-framed glass doors leading to a patio. The room features a small wooden dining table with blue cushioned benches, a fruit bowl on the table, and two framed posters on the wall. A tall wooden cabinet with wine storage is nearby

Designed by architect Jake Lai, the kitchen cleverly makes the most of the tricky layout and natural light to make a beautiful cooking and eating space.

A modern kitchen with wooden cabinets, built-in oven, knives on a magnetic strip, and a bowl of fruit on the counter, leading into a living room with a blue sofa and window

The kitchen features frameless Ladbroke doors in a brushed limed oak finish, which, as Jake puts it, “highlights the beautiful natural grain pattern, lifts the space, and provides a neutral background for color.”

The center of the room features a custom-built narrow kitchen island on wheels, creating extra storage and countertop space.

Beautiful but practical storage solutions mean the kitchen is a vibrant space, but one that also brings calm through its clean, minimal countertops.
