13 Favorite Minimalist British Kitchens

In recent months, we've seen the term "minimalism" increasingly diluted with each passing pin, social post, and tweet. One person's minimal is clearly another's cluttered nightmare, and plenty of self-proclaimed minimalists are maximalists in denial—leaving us to wonder: What does it all mean?

Then there's an image of a kitchen—a really spare but healthy looking kitchen—that floats by in our busy online feed, stopping us in our tracks. The British kitchen, time and again, is a reminder that minimal need not be cold, and traditional need not be outdated. Merging the two contrasting styles is, if you ask us, what makes the latest British modernism so compelling. Here are 13 of our favorite kitchens, all quite minimal and thoroughly English.

Architecture & Interiors With Christine Chang Hanway

Architect Visit: Herringbone House in London

In our DIY-enthused culture, there are some who might think they don't require an architect's design skills even for a ground-up construction. A project like Chan + Eayrs's Herringbone House in Islington, London, reminds us so clearly of why we do. Despite its awkwardly wedge-shaped, urban-infill site, the elegant four-bedroom house, with its patterned-brick exterior, warm Scandinavian interior finishes, and front and back courtyards, appears deceptively simple and straightforward—truly the mark of good design.

Unless otherwise noted, photographs by Mike Tsang via Arch Daily and Dezeen

Above: Zoe Chan, cofounder with Merlin Eayrs of Chan + Eayrs, stands before their design. The house—which is currently on the market (see details at Chan + Eayrs and The Modern House) is comprised of two volumes, one of which steps back to created a courtyard. While the use of brick fits into the context of the surrounding Victorian terraced houses, the herringbone pattern is a contemporary update that sets the structure apart from its neighbors. Photograph by Thomas Giddings.

Above: Inspired by siheyuan, traditional Chinese courtyard houses, Chan, who was born in England of Chinese parents, introduced two walled courtyard rooms, one at the front and one at the back, as an effective solution for drawing light into the middle of the narrow and nonlinear site.
