Luxury Kitchen Design for Arcadia Construction & Forays Homes

At Wyke View, Forays Homes and Arcadia Construction set out to deliver a collection of homes defined by exceptional quality and standout interior design. Lorien was appointed to design and supply kitchens and utility rooms that would meet a truly luxury standard spaces that combine everyday functionality with high-end visual impact.

The Brief

The goal was to create kitchens and utility spaces that elevate the overall feel of the homes, aligning with the premium nature of the development. Each space needed to offer both practicality and a strong design statement, appealing to discerning buyers looking for something distinctive.

Attention to detail, material quality, and integrated features were key to achieving this vision.

The Approach

Lorien specified a refined, timeless kitchen style using in-frame painted shaker cabinetry from the Belgravia range by Kitchen Stori. This classic design was chosen for its craftsmanship, durability, and ability to deliver a high-end aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Every element was carefully considered to ensure a cohesive look while incorporating standout features that enhance both usability and visual appeal.

Kitchen Design Features

The kitchens at Wyke View are designed to make an immediate impression.

A large central island forms the focal point of each space, complete with double butler sinks that combine practicality with a sense of luxury. Additional features such as wine fridges, illuminated glass wall cupboards, and a canopy mantel add layers of detail and sophistication.

These elements work together to create a space that not only functions effortlessly but also delivers a strong “wow factor” from the moment you walk in.

Integrated Appliances

To complement the cabinetry and overall design, a full suite of integrated Bosch appliances has been specified throughout.

Homeowners benefit from a comprehensive setup that includes:

  • A large induction hob
  • Full-height larder fridge and freezer
  • Integrated dishwasher
  • Wine storage solutions
  • Advanced cooking capabilities, including steam cooking within the Series 8 ovens

This combination ensures the kitchens are as practical as they are visually striking, supporting modern lifestyles with high-performance appliances.

Utility Rooms

The attention to detail continues into the utility spaces, where design and functionality are given equal importance.

In-frame cabinetry is finished in a bold Slate Blue, creating a strong visual contrast while maintaining the premium feel established in the kitchen. Raised laundry appliances improve usability, while pull-out shelving provides convenient and organised storage for laundry baskets and essentials.

These thoughtful additions transform the utility room from a purely functional space into an extension of the home’s overall design quality.

The Result

The kitchens and utility rooms at Wyke View successfully deliver on the ambition to create luxurious, design-led interiors. By combining classic in-frame cabinetry, high-spec appliances, and carefully curated features, Lorien has helped shape spaces that feel both impressive and highly liveable.

The result is a collection of homes where every detail has been considered—offering buyers a seamless blend of elegance, performance, and everyday practicality.

We have been dealing with Katie and Ray for over 20 years  

There are very good reasons why this is the case 

First and foremost, the levels of service, contact and understanding we receive from both is second to none. The construction process is never an industry that runs completely smoothly but with Katie and Ray, they help even when it is factors outside of their remit  

We always look to strive forward and take on new and innovative ideas, keeping up with trends. Continuously they work with us on ideas we may have in going forward along with their own years of experience and their own innovative ideas 

Price has to be taken into consideration and again they have always been price competitive without cutting corners. 

We have now completed hundreds of kitchens with these guys and look forward to doing many more
