Latest Kitchen
-
Here is the model if anyone is interetsed. It is a bit "dirty" with some stray lines etc and a few faces are a wee bit askew. I apologise as I have moved to a new machine and havent had the time to get all my plugins transfered across yet - they are on the long finger.
@stefanq. Yes you are right but that is what the client wanted - she is a very tall lady and when I pointed this out to her she said not to worry!! I said that its fine for her, maybe not for a guest who wants to help in the kitchen. I normally dont do this layout - two ovens in adjoining appliance housings is what I normally have for that reason alone. I had to doctor the door above to fit them all in. She loves it and that is the main thing.

Nice one Dermot...
Gonna give this a go in Twilight if you don't mind?
-
Let her rip. Can you give me your settings when your done as I want to start trying this photo rendering out - need to grow a set of balls to post some of this stuff.
-
Great work!
Love the layout and the design. Very neatly done. -
Mate looks great!
Hey if you have PS run them through shadows and highlights filter or just curves adjustment!
In regards the design, I just have that one pick, the handles on the cupboards might have been horizontal too as the arrangement around and particularly the one under the wall oven might have benefitted?
Man I don't know why people go for glass feature range hoods - just the hassle of keeping them clean would drive me nuts! They look nice when new though!!
-
I love it. Especially the that little step in the counter over the bar...that is a great detail. I also really like how you "framed" the ovens with the white cabinetry. Hope you will share a picture with walls painted if you can. Violet and wenge make for a magnificent combination. Thanks for sharing these. It like learning from the masters for me in my new job.

very nice kitchen ,good job bro !
-
Nice, nice design & execution, Dermot. Looks like a really clean install as well (okay, let's have a close shot of a scribe or two... )
The tops look like engineered quartz? I second the raised bit by the bar is a nice detail. Another nice detail is the end panels NOT notched around the toe kicks. Makes things look chopped up when they are. Well done! -
Hi Dermot, really cool, congrats... It is good to see a project in reality...
-
Dspace - Thanks man.
Richard -thanks for the comments - not really any experience of photoshop post processing - any good books/tutorials you can recommend to someone who wants to pick it up. Again the handles were the clients choice and she was very rigid on their placement and orientation. She had seen a kitchen very like this in Germany and wanted to recreate the look. I had an integrated handle which runs horizontally on the door sample and she liked it but decided to go with the other.
Jopperman - thankyou. I will try to get a pic of the finished paint job for all of you. "Masters" is a bit much !!
thebestvip84 - thankyou
Mtntrails - scribes are "tight as a gnats chuff" as they say here! Bar is engineered stone; "Hanstone" is the make. I always do this though some people notch them as they feel it can be a bit of a dirt trap when sweeping the floor! Thanks for the comments
Fymoro - thanks - coming from an expert like you means alot!
-
nice work pal
-
Nice work, Dermot...!
Always great to see a real project... -
Very nice looking kitchen u got there.
At first I thought its 3D... I can't understand anymore whats real and whats not. -
I'm still looking at that portion of "bar" over the counter, and I can't figure it out how did you make it stay still, how did you fixed it. How did you jointed the wood and the "engineered stone".
Excuse my English!! -
Cheers Oli, Frederik and Coremaster
@stefanq - i could tell you but then I would have to kill you afterwards!!!! Holes in the main worktop to screw up from underneath, then two spaces in the base of the upstand to screw the small worktop onto the granite.
-
@stefanq - see attached quick model to show you how it was done - a picture speaks a thousand words!! (and you dont need a translator for them!!!)Upstand Attachment to Granite.skp
-
Dermot, thank you for the model, it's simple yet effective solution. To be honest, I wouldn't have the guts to drill the worktop. I had bad experiences with those "granite like" materials. Maybe because we didn't had the right tools.
Anyway, it seams that the amount of work was bigger that the image of the kitchen let an untrained eye to see.
I hope that manufacturing process still brings you joy, as I know I have these days, when I barely touched the PC.
Good Luck! -
No problem. I wish I was busier doing bigger projects but they are harder and harder to get nowadays. Everyone is cutting their prices just to get a wage. Competition is fierce right now. I am busier trying to get work than I ever was but not as busy manufacturing. I know with my improving skills in modelling and rendering I will win more as time goes on. Good luck to you.
-
Dermot you've done a great job there bud. Wish I'd had you to fit my kitchen in my last house - it looked similar to this on the surface but the fitters just didnt do that good of a job on it, so when you looked at it in detail there were a few imperfections to it here and there. Maybe my next one eh?

Cheers cadmunkey. I am actually thinking of touting for business over there in the "mainland" as it is extremely difficult in Ireland at the minute and i will have to cast my net wider for business. I am trying to get a website up and running and am running around taking pics of previously fitted kitchens to put up on the web so I can attract the business. I take great pride in doing a job that I would want done in my own home and to date have never disappointed anyone. I hope to convey that in future models and renders also though the more I look at that last model I cringe - it is terrible. Im much better at the real thing. Thanks for your comments.
