Atlantis are your local experts in kitchen design and we love what we do. We were therefore very excited to be invited by L'Enclume, Michelin Star Restaurant, to design a kitchen for them.
As you know, L'Enclume, in the beautiful village of Cartmel, is attracting national and international attention offering magical food in a magical location.
Andrey met with Simon Rogan to discuss ideas for the redeveloped Aulis research and design centre. Simon and Andrey created a sleek new design, combining the latest technology where L'Enclumes creations will be brought to life.
And here's the really exciting part! You can reserve personal private dining for up to 6 people where a meal is composed before your very eyes, revealing the methods that are normally kept behind kitchen doors and all brought to you by Aulis director and 2008 Roux scholar Dan Cox.
Soon you will be able to see our uber contemporary furniture and Siemens appliances at work as "The Great British Menu" programme have recently filmed Simon and his teams expertise, and our kitchen plays a starring role.
The brief was quite unusual: to create a professional cooking environment but without the look of a commercial kitchen. All the cooking equipment had to be accommodated within the narrow shape of a 17th century stables building whilst allowing enough space to accommodate up to six people around the cooking area to watch the chef at work and sample his fantastic creations. The choice of equipment and materials was really important. Siemens appliances have been chosen for their versatility, quality build and sleek design. Silestone worktops with Microban anti-bacterial protection provide a practical worktop for the preparation area whilst a bespoke piece of Iroko acts as a built-in table wrapped around the island. Minimalistic light driftwood coloured units finished with acrylic splashback offer great storage space, crisp contemporary look combined with a practical easy-clean surfaces. The finished project certainly does not look like a stainless steel commercial kitchen but will definitely provide a fantastic creative environment for the chefs to use.
Atlantis are very very proud to be involved. We are passionate about our business and what we can achieve for our clients, and our selection here, by Simon and a team who have chosen our area as the best home for L'Enclume, is a real recognition of what we are about.
This design illustrates the benefits of working with an expert kitchen designer. The compact area is transformed to reach nothing less than its absolute full potential.

A recent report in the Financial Times highlighted that investment in a new kitchen will repay itself in terms of adding value to your property or protecting it from discount if you sell. They suggest you dont spend more than 10% of the value of your home on a new kitchen to ensure the investment stacks up. With Atlantis your quote will be for well less than that. You cant go wrong!
If your from out of town, why not consider visiting Kendal by train? Links throughout the North West are great. Our massive showroom is right next door to the station. You can look round our fantastic displays, then walk into town for lunch (and a cheeky glass of wine-very liberating ditching the car you know!), and have a quick walk up Kendal Castle to see views over the Lakeland fells. We have ample parking if you prefer to drive.
Without doubt the best way to buy a kitchen is to have it designed and installed by experts. You need one company to co-ordinate everything and take responsibility for the whole job.Why buy a kitchen from a firm who spend half an hour designing?We will spend a day on your design-free and without obligation. You will get the best design that can possibly be created.With our 2 promotions-30% off designer units and all trades at cost price-you will be buying really well.
Atlantis-we love kitchens!
