Guild Anderson’s mission is to design bespoke kitchens and back-of-house spaces which look as if they were always meant to be there. These are working domestic spaces designed to be used. To be dented, scuffed, and enriched with the hallmarks of daily life. To tell stories. And, after a few years perhaps, given a fresh coat of paint ready for the next generation to enjoy.
The team works in country houses of all sizes. Their bespoke kitchen designs take inspiration from the domestic spaces of some of England's most cherished country homes; houses built for a very different way of life.
Guild Anderson's goal is to create modern family spaces which respect the architectural heritage of their client’s houses. Achieving the perfect balance between period personality and modern convenience is always at the forefront of their minds.
We design and make back of house working spaces for English country houses (of all sizes).
"We are very much led by the architecture of our client’s houses. We don’t have a style as such. We simply take inspiration from English vernacular architecture and fuse that with a deep knowledge of how to design high functioning modern performance domestic environments into period settings."
"Our grounded approach to bespoke design reflects us as individuals. It is honest, uncomplicated, and devoid of unnecessary flamboyance, over-engineering and cost. Instead, we prefer to take an empathetic approach to each project, working closely with our clients, listening to their opinions, and advising as best we can. We think it’s important to respect the efforts and funds our clients are investing into their projects by being as careful with their money as we would be with our own. That might sound a bit twee. But it’s how we behave."
