Caesarstone’s 5141 Frosty Carrina worktop adds elegant flair to this Walthamstow family kitchen.
In the vibrant area of Walthamstow, East London, a family home has been thoughtfully transformed by architecture studio, ROAR, blending innovative design with cutting-edge technology. At the heart of this renovation is a striking kitchen featuring Caesarstone’s timeless 5141 Frosty Carrina surface, a key element in the design that enhances both function and aesthetics.
One of the standout features of this kitchen is its impressive, vaulted ceiling, which was designed to create a dramatic sense of space and volume. This architectural element, inspired by the traditional forms of local housing, brings an airy and expansive quality to the room. ROAR skilfully incorporated exposed timber beams, which, along with the soft, muted cabinetry, complement the elegant ivory-white tones of the 5141 Frosty Carrina worktops. The cabinetry’s gentle shade perfectly harmonises with the delicate grey veining in the worktops, adding depth and refined sophistication to the overall design.
The homeowners envisioned expanding their living space by extending up and out to the rear of the property while facing the challenges of local planning regulations and a limited budget. ROAR responded with a design that not only meets these constraints but also maximises light and space, creating a functional yet visually compelling environment.
Shaun O’Brien, Director at ROAR, explains: “The design was conceived as a ‘kit of parts,’ with the vaulted ceiling playing a crucial role in the spatial experience of the home. The selection of Caesarstone’s 5141 Frosty Carrina was integral to achieving the seamless blend of classic and contemporary elements in the kitchen."
ROAR have been known to frequently specify Caesarstone for its consistent quality and aesthetic versatility, as seen in previous projects such as Brookscroft Road.
The 5141 Frosty Carrina worktop, chosen for its timeless elegance and modern durability, was ideal for this busy family kitchen. Its non-porous surface is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, ensuring that it maintains its pristine appearance even with daily use. This choice perfectly reflects the homeowners' need for both practicality and beauty in their kitchen.
Caesarstone also offers a Lifetime Warranty on all residential applications, providing additional peace of mind. Jonathan Stanley, Caesarstone’s VP of Marketing, comments: “We are proud to offer a lifetime warranty across all our indoor collections to reassure our customers that their surfaces will remain safe, durable, and timelessly beautiful for generations. With over three decades of expertise and a rigorous testing process, our worktops are created to look beautiful for a lifetime, even in the busiest of home kitchens.”
The bespoke kitchen layout, crafted by SLS Builders, includes open shelving above the worktops, optimising both storage and functionality while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. The kitchen is equipped with Siemens appliances and a contemporary Franke sink with a brass tap, adding to the room’s sophisticated charm. The homeowners are delighted with the result, noting: “We absolutely love our 5141 Frosty Carrina worktops. The surface brightens the kitchen and enhances the sense of openness that we cherish in our family home.”
