SUCCESS STORIES
The Lakes By Yoo House
This beautiful property, located just outside The Cotswolds, featured Silhouette stained oak cabinetry, bronze inlays, and selected bronze hardware, each adding warmth against the oak's cool tones. Himalaya Crystal Neolith worktops keep the design understated but cohesive with the kitchen’s overall aesthetic and aligning with the client’s unique daily routine.
The Gilbert Scott Residence
Step inside the Gilbert Scott residence, where rich Royal Peacock stone, walnut accents, and warm tones come together to create a space tailored specifically to the client’s taste and lifestyle. A kitchen that’s as perfect for hosting friends as it is for slow Sunday breakfasts with family — a blend of elegance and warmth, designed to feel like home the moment you walk in.
“We recently decided to remodel our kitchen, and after looking at various luxury brands, it was clear that a Hau Hau kitchen was for us.
We instantly fell in love with the elegant yet modern design and sympathetic use of beautiful materials. It was important for us that our most used room wasn’t “style over substance”. Ben listened to how we use our space and took on board our extensive wish list and came up with the most beautiful designs incorporating ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves. He was so accommodating with my constant questions and “what abouts?” and would always explain why something would or would not work or come up with a way to improve upon an idea.
We loved that we were included in the design process to create our perfect family space; it has made the room so much more personal and bespoke to us.
Hau Hau excelled themselves, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them, not only for their designs and quality of craftsmanship but also for their ability to communicate, share their knowledge and understand the customers’ needs.
We certainly didn’t get “style over substance”. What we did get was the most stylish and substantial kitchen we could have imagined!”
— Mr & Mrs Arundel

We reject templates and standard configurations entirely, never taking shortcuts and never compromising on quality.

We design around you, your individual tastes and your daily routine, allowing us to create designs that serve you and elevate how you actually live.

HANDCRAFTED CABINETRY FOR OXFORDSHIRE HOMES
One master craftsman handles your entire project. No production lines. No compromises. Each cabinet receives individual attention, hand-treated with anything from mocha, silhouette, charcoal, or beige-grey staining, fumed, or bleached, with each process individually chosen to elevate the overall design to that of understated luxury. Hand-selected hardware and finishes, such as bolection mouldings or scalloped detailing, add character and depth to your cabinetry, delivering results that will serve you and your loved ones over decades of daily use.
Our workshop operates on principles of absolute quality. Hand-selecting only the finest of solid woods, chosen for their grain and character. We hand-cut joints with pride and care and hand-finish surfaces to achieve depth and authenticity impossible through mass-produced alternatives. This approach takes longer but delivers results that speak for themselves.

THE HAUHAU DESIGN PROCESS
-
Our expert design team will take your initial concepts and elevate them beyond your wildest dreams, guiding you through every step of the process as we make it a reality.
Our philosophy is to work in close partnership with our clients, providing creative and innovative solutions through genuine collaboration and careful consideration of your needs and desires.
Once we receive your inquiry, we will contact you to introduce ourselves and discuss the outline of your project. Along with your ideas and brief, we will require a plan to work from. This can be in the form of your architect’s drawings or, if there is a physical space, ideally a visit to your residence to carry out a survey.
Following this process we can begin to prepare your design.
-
After our first consultation, our expert design team will work on your concept, developing, enhancing, and elevating it beyond your expectations into a truly remarkable design.
From our initial sketches, we will prepare full working CAD drawings along with visuals, palettes, and material choices—from your primary finish through to your internal colorway—for your review.
-
Once you have commissioned HAUHAU for your project, we will finalize any changes you may wish to make to your design, appliance list, material choices, and then proceed to contract your order.
At this stage we will engage with your contractors, and any other parties involved with your project to provide the relevant information they require (along with mechanical and electrical working drawings) and will remain in constant communication with them to monitor your schedule, ensuring everything stays on track.
-
Your order will now enter production in our workshop.
We pride ourselves on the meticulous quality of craftsmanship achieved by our expert cabinet makers.
The HAUHAU workshop is not a production line.
Every project is assigned to one maker at a time, who crafts and hand-makes every aspect of your order to exacting standards by combining cutting-edge technology with the most exquisite of materials.
It is in this way that we have truly set ourselves apart and surpassed the industry with our standard.
-
Now it is time for your design to become a reality!
After diligently managing your project's schedule to ensure a smooth and on-time fulfillment, HAUHAU will deliver and install your furniture to the very highest standard while ensuring the utmost consideration for your residence.
-
On completion of your new kitchen, we arrange for renowned chef Elliot Johnson-Paul of JP Dining to come in and prepare a complimentary private dining experience in your new space to ensure you truly experience every aspect in its full glory.
Simply sit back, relax, and enjoy your new HAUHAU kitchen.
LUXURY MATERIALS WITHOUT COMPROMISE
HAUHAU sources only the world's finest materials for your Oxfordshire home.
Royal Peacock marble creates dramatic statement pieces, whilst the gold-grey veining of Calacatta Oro adds a touch of subtle sophistication. American black walnut brings warmth and richness, whilst the honeyed tones of fumed oak perfectly complement more neutral colour palettes. Hand-selected hardware, whether it's brushed bronze or antique hardware, adds a metallic accent that adds tonal contrast to your design. We work only with suppliers who meet our exacting standards, and all materials are chosen based on their inherent beauty and quality.
No detail escapes our considerations, and nothing becomes part of your kitchen unless it meets our exacting quality standards.
We work exclusively with suppliers who meet our unmoving quality standards to bring your desired end vision to life.
EXPERTLY HANDCRAFTED JUST FOR YOU
HAUHAU approaches modern luxury kitchen design through a prioritisation of you, your preferences and your desired experience within the space:
FUNCTION-FIRST PHILOSOPHY
We begin by understanding your daily routines and specific requirements before addressing aesthetics. This approach ensures your kitchen not only looks extraordinary but also meets your every need.
SOPHISTICATED STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Modern luxury demands freedom from visual clutter. We incorporate walk-in pantries, concealed appliances, and discrete storage behind handcrafted cabinet doors to maintain a clean, minimalist aesthetic and expansive open surfaces while keeping essential items readily accessible.
DEDICATED ZONES
Specialised areas for quiet morning coffees, bespoke breakfast bars, or dedicated spaces for evening drinks with friends – our designs create purposeful moments within the larger kitchen environment. These thoughtfully designed stations balance practical functionality with opportunities for visual expression through personal touches and bespoke features.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL ISLANDS
Central islands serve as the heart of the modern luxury kitchen, crafted with anything from stunning Calacatta marble and its dramatic gold veining to Neolith Himalayan Crystal with its understated elegance; they provide combined spaces for meal preparation, casual dining, and both open and concealed storage. These architectural elements often become the focal point around which daily life naturally revolves, anchoring the entire space.
SEAMLESS TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
Your Oxfordshire luxury kitchen should embrace intelligent technology that enhances your everyday routines without dominating the aesthetic of your design:
INTUITIVE CONVENIENCES
We incorporate first-class features like boiling water taps, concealed charging stations, and integrated sound systems that streamline daily tasks, maintaining design cohesion all whilst elevating every moment into something special.
ADVANCED APPLIANCES
We partner with leading appliance brands to ensure every culinary need is met. From SubZero and Wolf to Bosch and Quooker, smart technology design is seamlessly integrated into your kitchen, creating a space that responds to your specific preferences and requirements.
THOUGHTFUL IMPLEMENTATION
Our approach to technology integration ensures everything is exactly where it should be, in a way that aligns with how you uniquely use your space, all while remaining visually unobtrusive and instead adding to the desired end vision.
EXPERT LIGHTING DESIGN
HAUHAU's incorporates strategic and layered lighting that adds the essential final touch to every luxury kitchen:
LAYERED LIGHTING
We combine ambient, task, and accent lighting to create environments that transition effortlessly from practical workspaces to sophisticated entertainment areas.
TASTEFULLY INCORPORATED
Under-cabinet lighting and tastefully positioned pendant lights ensure cooking and preparation areas receive optimal illumination without harsh shadows or glare.
ATMOSPHERIC ACCENT LIGHTING
Strategic lighting highlights architectural features, integrated shelving, and shadow lines, creating depth throughout the space. We work to ensure our use of warm lighting establishes a cohesive, luxurious atmosphere that avoids clinical coolness for a kitchen that is both intentional and inviting.
INTELLIGENT CONTROLS
If desired, sophisticated systems allow different lighting zones to be adjusted independently, creating the perfect ambience for every occasion while responding intuitively to both natural light changes and varied activities throughout the day.
BEYOND THE KITCHEN
Quality demands consistency throughout your Oxfordshire property, which is why HAUHAU extends our bespoke craftsmanship expertise beyond kitchen design to create cohesive luxury interiors across the whole home—bespoke bedrooms, bathrooms, home cinemas, home offices, dressing rooms, and home bars. Your kitchen establishes the standard, and we believe every other space must match its attention to detail and craftsmanship quality.
