FRAMEWORK
Ifthe only suitable space
for a pantry incorporates
a window, take a leaf from
architects Butler Armsden’s
design (top left). A steel
box sash with obscured
glass was built to provide
extra shelving while
allowing light to pour in.

ZONE OUT
Use smart design details
to help delineate a walk-in
pantry. In this scheme by
Martin Moore (top right),
marble steps separate the
storage and utility area
and define it as a cooler (in
temperature) zone from
the rest of the kitchen.
DEEPSPACE
Maximise capacity in a
small room. This larder, in
the Limehouse kitchen by
Neptune in a Sims Hilditch
project (above left), has a
deep central cupboard,
shelves on the door and a
pull-out rack that is very
useful for everyday items.
INTHE AIR
Where it’s not possible to
position the pantry on an
outside wall, an airbrick or
a hinged fanlight (above)
and fully tiled walls can
help maintain the right
temperature, which needs
to be a few degrees cooler
than the main kitchen.
