# Case Study: A two-toned London family kitchen by Piqu

**Caesarstone's 4601 Frozen Terra is the perfect addition to this playful, two-toned kitchen.**

When it came to renovating the kitchen in their new home in Hither Green, south-east London, Andrew Gall, his partner and two young children sought out a clean-lined and joyful aesthetic. To achieve this, a two-tone melody of sky blue and oak cabinetry is combined with [Caesarstone’s rugged 4601 Frozen Terra worktops](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/catalogue/4601-frozen-terra/).

The surface’s pale canvas is embellished by glimmers of black basalt and multiple tones of translucent grey, fusing the playfulness of terrazzo with the robustness of concrete.

![Caesarstone Frozen Terra worktop and kitchen island](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-02.jpg?width=1440&height=960&name=caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-02.jpg)Adrian Graves, Lead Kitchen Designer at Piqu, explains: “Andrew and his family approached us ahead of purchasing this home, planning to create a kitchen extension as soon as they moved in. However, due to rising building costs, this idea became too expensive – so they asked us to design a sociable and functional kitchen that would make the best use of their existing, limited space. This proved to be a bit of a design challenge as they wanted a kitchen island with some bar stool seating within the galley layout.”![Caesarstone Frozen Terra breakfast bar and kitchen worktops](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-05.jpg?width=1440&height=960&name=caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-05.jpg) Piqu crafted a bespoke slim-line island which houses the hob. This unit allows for optimal storage and work surface area, whilst also creating a central place for the family to sit and enjoy a bite. Throughout the space, the appliances are by Siemens, with a sink and brass tap by Franke.

![caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-03](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-03.jpg?width=1440&height=960&name=caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-03.jpg)“Andrew chose Caesarstone’s Frozen Terra for the work surfaces and full-height splashback because he absolutely loved the fresh colour and subtly eclectic pattern,” adds Adrian. “We suggested Caesarstone as we knew it would appeal to the family’s desire for a low-maintenance and durable yet beautiful material.” Frozen Terra plays a key role in the material palette, ultimately pulling the finishes together – with the concrete look and organic feel of the worktop modernising the traditional cosiness of the wooden cabinets.

![Close up of Caesarstone Frozen Terra worktop with a brass Franke tap](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-04.jpg?width=1440&height=960&name=caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-04.jpg)Reflecting on his choice, Andrew shares: “We can’t get enough of our Frozen Terra worktop. It is clean and bright with a lovely warmth that complements our kitchen colours.” Rating his satisfaction with his Caesarstone surface a perfect five out of five, he highlights how the design’s aesthetic and practical qualities have enhanced the kitchen’s overall appeal.

![caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-06](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-06.jpg?width=1440&height=960&name=caesarstone-piqu-frozen-terra-06.jpg)Mor Krisher, Head of Product Design at Caesarstone explains: “By opting for a slab splashback to match your worktops, you create a seamless flow that pleases the eye but is also incredibly practical. Scratch, stain, and heat resistant, a Caesarstone splashback makes clean-up easy after your dinner has splashed behind the hob.”

It’s no secret kitchens are a highly busy place for families, and the worktop – more than any other part – really takes the brunt of this. Caesarstone surfaces are all sustainably made with longevity in mind, and as such, come with a unique [Lifetime Warranty for residential applications](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/warranty/).
