Limestone Retreat
Michelle Lamb of Michelle Lamb Interior Architecture, Canterbury on a kitchen entered in the 2025 NKBA Excellence in Design Awards.
Limestone Retreat is soft, pale and quietly architectural. The room is shaped as much by texture as by line, and the effect is closer to a gallery than a service space.
Stone surfaces carry the tonal weight, with cabinetry pulled back to a near-matching value so that the whole composition reads as one material field.
Where the design allows itself a gesture it does so structurally — a heavier bench edge, a defined tall run — rather than through applied decoration.
The result is a room that is calm without being cold, largely because the surfaces have enough grain and variation to hold interest at close range.
