Planning a kitchen with no walls
Orangeries and glazed garden rooms present a specific problem: there is almost nowhere to put a wall cabinet. This collection solves it by moving all storage below the worktop and into one tall bank on the single solid wall, keeping the glazed elevations completely clear.
Every base run is deep-drawer rather than door-and-shelf, which recovers roughly 30 per cent more usable volume — the difference that makes a wall-cabinet-free kitchen viable. German cabinetry, |hand-finished in London| by one team.
Handleless and low
Fronts are handleless white lacquer with an integrated J-pull, keeping the elevation as quiet as possible against the glazing. The island is the only tall element in the room and is capped with a single marble slab.
Because the room is bright, we specify a soft matte rather than gloss: gloss in a glazed room produces glare across the whole worktop by mid-morning.
Light, heat and glare
Glazed rooms overheat and fade. Worktops are specified in UV-stable porcelain or sintered stone rather than a resin-based quartz, which can yellow in direct sun over years.
Timber is chosen accordingly: herringbone engineered oak with a UV-stable finish, laid to run towards the garden doors so the pattern draws the eye outside.
Steel-framed detail
Where the architecture includes steel-framed glazing, we echo it in the joinery: a slim blackened-steel frame around the tall bank or a Crittall-style glazed pantry door ties the kitchen to the building.
It is a small move that makes a fitted kitchen read as part of the extension rather than an object placed inside it.

Asked often.
Can a kitchen work without any wall cabinets?
Yes, when all base runs are deep drawers and one tall bank absorbs the ovens, larder and fridge-freezer. That combination typically gives more usable volume than a conventional wall-cabinet layout.
Will sunlight damage the worktop?
Resin-based quartz can yellow in prolonged direct sun. We specify UV-stable porcelain, sintered stone or natural stone in glazed rooms for exactly this reason.
How is extraction handled with no external wall?
Downdraft extraction in the island or a recirculating ceiling unit. Both are drawn into the scheme at technical drawing stage with the ductwork route agreed before the build.
How much does an orangery kitchen cost in London?
Most projects fall between £34,000 and £86,000 fitted, depending on footprint, stone and extraction strategy. No middlemen.
