I quite like that.
Normally I hate box sections in the ceiling for an extractor but it's been done well to mirror the peninsular so it makes complete sense, visually nice and looks like it's meant to be. Even more so that the box section, worktop and splashbacks all tie in colour wise. Personally I think that's what makes the kitchen.
Unit layout is nice as is the thought behind the handle placement/orientation. Stuff that normally goes unnoticed on a conscious level by most visitors but still registers sub-consciously to tell them it's well thought out.
BUT!!!....
Painting is really poor, it ruins what is otherwise a nice kitchen. It's not the colour, that can look very effective, more it's execution is poor. Shame really.
Design wise I suppose I would have widened the island to around 800mm deep (the drawer units) and carried on the plinth line all around but understand that is pretty much a no go when you're limited to side/decor panel depth of 650mm with most UK suppliers.
As a side note...
When I first looked at the pics I thought that really is a nice colour of quartz and the gaining is lovely, then noticed you said it's duropal, then how expensive it is... why does the price jump so much? it's just a bit more of chipboard core??? I know it isn't a big seller but still, does it warrant the jump in price?????
