What does a vegan culinary setup look like? In the case of this project for a young family of six, it takes the guise of a craftsman-made, English country-house kitchen\u2014with some tailor-made details for washing and storing vegetables, doing a lot of prepping and cooking, and sending meals outside.<\/p>\n

The owners\u2014Dan runs a tech company and Lorraine is a teacher\u2014left London behind for East Sussex in 2018 to grow a lot of their own food. They live in a historic structure known as the Mill House that was converted from two farm cottages back in 1897, and were in the fortunate position of being able to start from scratch in this part of the house. To replace the existing kitchen and adjacent rooms\u2014and with a goal of achieving near self-sufficiency (even the family dog keeps to a plant-based diet)\u2014they hired Inglis Hall, a local bespoke kitchen company. Run by cabinetmaker Toby Inglis Hall, the workshop specializes in sustainable materials and peerless craftsmanship. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n

Above: \u201cDoes the self-sufficient vegan objective conjure certain sensibilities?\u201d asks Toby. \u201cThink again. Pleasure is taken seriously here.\u201d <\/p>\n

Dan and Lorraine wanted the space to have an unfitted look, and one of the ways Inglis Hall complied was by designing this freestanding \u201ccrockery cupboard,\u201d detailed with ash woven by basketmaker Josey Goodin. The door to the right leads to a capacious utility room aka \u201cthe vegetable processing plant.\u201d<\/p>\n


Above: The room is centered by a large, painted wood island with turned legs that provides ample work space, storage, and a place to sit and eat. The cabinets are fronted with raw band-sawn oak, and, for a utilitarian-modern twist, the long counter is concrete.

Above: The sink has Rudge & Co. wall-mounted Pevensey brass taps and a hammered brass basin from The French House.,

Above: The fridge-surround is fitted with wooden trays that make it easy to serve meals in the garden. All of the appliances are by Fisher & Paykel, including dishwasher drawers and the side-by-side ovens with induction cooktops\u2014\u201doften the second oven is dual function to include a steam oven or similar, but in this instance, they just needed that capacity,\u201d says Toby.
\n

Above: There\u2019s a round family table alongside French doors. \u201cThe interior shutters were existing and helped define the style of the room,\u201d says Toby. <\/p>\n

All of the lighting, including the Foster pendants over the island, are from Jim Lawrence Lighting.<\/p>\n

Pantry<\/h3>\n


Above: Lorraine and Dan came to the project with a collection of orange-lidded jars for the pantry. <\/p>\n

Admiring the reeded-glass door? Toby explains: \u201cWe made the two doors leading to the pantry and utility choosing to go with super-traditional joinery detailing, including, for any fellow closet joinery nerds out there, a fine beading around panels and tapered door styles.\u201d The handles are from Optimum Brasses.<\/p>\n

Utility\/Laundry\/Mud Room<\/h3>\n


Above: A corner of the utility room is outfitted with a custom marble sink and storage for canning jars. Says Toby: \u201cIt was particularly interesting to plan how to process the seasonal bulk vegetables needed to feed an entirely plant-based family for the year.\u201d
\n

Above: In addition to being \u201cthe vegetable processing plant,\u201d the space serves as a mud room and laundry room (washer\/dryer are concealed behind paneled wood sliding doors).
\n

Above: Carved from a single block of Macael marble, the custom sink was designed for cleaning vegetables\u2014\u201dit\u2019s deliberately shallow with a decent fall to wash away mud,\u201d says Toby. The tall brass taps by Rudge & Co. are mounted on a soapstone counter.

Inglis Hall is based in East Sussex, England, and currently creates about 25 kitchens a year. Here\u2019s another standout example:<\/p>\n
