When designer Darren Morgan of Glenvale Kitchens was approached by a kitchen retail client, little did he know, that his work would become an instant hit and be popularized to extent of an architectural marvel. As per the brief give to Darren, the client wished to have kitchen concept designed around luxury as well as usefulness, a kitchen that he could showcase at his stall on a trade show, and one that he could take to the high end kitchen market and give competition to some of already established German and Italian manufacturers.

Another stipulation was to design the kitchen in a manner, wherein the entire concept could be dismantled, taken to the trade show and assembled again, after which the kitchen would go under the same treatment, to be transported 50 miles to the client’s showroom, where it would be reassembled. To accomplish this difficult feat, Darren decided to narrow down the concept to five basic zones, which were consumables; non-consumables; cleaning; preparation; and cooking. The drawers of the kitchen cabinet were made entirely from custom laminated mirror and have been given Servo-Drive electric opening support system in the wall units. This incredible kitchen concept also comes with a 3 meter aquarium, that holds about 750 liters of water. The aquarium itself was specifically fabricated in Germany and the architecture of the aquarium was custom designed by a French artist.

According to Darren Morgan,

“I wanted this kitchen to literally come alive within the architecture surrounding it while still having the ability to transform into a stunning backdrop to any social occasion. Allowing the kitchen to change from a standby to an in-use position gives the user flexibility to morph their kitchen into a restaurant, a coffee shop or a nightclub, whatever feels appropriate. Viewing this kitchen at different times of the day can allow different elements of the design shine through.”
