My apartment Project log
- Thread starter Dr House
- Start date
Would be very interested about all things kitchen related. Problems you overcame, how you chose contractors, design influences, how you chose PM / Architect etc.
Will likely be buying a total gut-job for our next house, and am quite nervous on whom I am going to trust in designing, fitting and implementing. Lot of money on the line.
Good luck with it all

I will post a bit of info when I have time later.
The Kitchen has been ordered and paid for we changed the design a little. In then end we went with an Italian kitchen
The island unit are white frosted glass.
The tall run on the back wall is a are a dark oak colour like the back unit here

as you can see we have pocket doors, it will look like this inside so we can hide all our appliances
The gap on the side of the tall units will have our appliances floating in out of the wall a little like this
I will post more info on the appliances when I get home.

lol no not rich at all. I had a little savings, I moved from an expensive city to the country and had a little help from mum and dad + a huge mortgage.
So info on the appliances
The drawers in the kitchen are all on a servo drive

Tap -
We have a PureH20 Tap it can dispense boiling water, chilled water, sparkling water and normal hot water.
More info here

Extractor hood

The way I have set it up can extract 1800 M2/hour which is massive
Induction hob

I love this, its probably my favourite thing in the whole house.
We have a combined Oven + steam oven

I have never had a steam oven but I hear that they are amazing for cooking and they more or less replace a microwave.
Standard singel oven, nothing exiting
http://www.miele.co.uk/ovens/single-ovens-range/h5681b-188/
Microwave combi oven
http://www.miele.co.uk/ovens/combi-microwave-range/h5080bm-193/
again nothing exiting
We also have 2 of these
http://www.miele.co.uk/ovens/warming-drawers-range/esw5080-14-161/
Fridge, freezer from miele and gaggenau dishwasher again nothing interesting.
They will be arranged in more or less the same format as in the picture above.
Pop uk sockets

Never seen those draws before great idea!
I've used one of those knife compartments before and he edge was a dirt trap, good use of space though.

Thats the basic one without the sparkling or chilled water. I think the top one with the reverse osmosis filter its around 4k.
Yah I did not expect it to take 3 years but it will be done in the next 3 months now.
Cheers for the reply. Lots to think about there. I really like the idea of 'floating' appliances, and would definitely steal that as an idea for mine when the time comes.
I am unsure about the PureH2O tab. It is incredibly expensive, and whilst it would be handy, I think my guests would likely prefer bottled sparkling water, and the tap water up here is actually very good - not hard at all. I would listen to arguments re: saving money vs electric kettle, but I just can't see how a tap for over £3k is anywhere near to a good balance of value vs practically vs cool factor.
Also really like those servo draws.
Wouldn't even know where to start with a steam oven. Does it just replace a conventional oven and a steamer? What benefits are there? The only time I use a microwave is for defrosting, and to be honest, that is quite rare, so I'm unsure if I'd have use for one.

Quooker taps can be found for MUCH less money, we have one in london and its a good tap.

The ZipHydro tap is also very good but more money.
Steam oven - I dont really know how useful it will be but everything I read online says how amazing they are.

Just FYI I have a lot of Mile appliances I will put on ebay soon (changed our mind on the models we wanted) I think I have the following Items that I do not plan to use anymore.
Miele DG 5080 Steam Oven
Miele CVA2660 Coffee Machine
EGW 3060-10 warming drawer
Miele induction hob
Miele H5461 B Oven
Zip HydroTap - both boiling and chilled water

I just changed my mind and wanted the higher models. My budget was a problem before so I bought the cheaper ovens however my situations has changed and I can afford to get the proper ones.
I only discovered the PureH20 a few days after buying the Zip
