Strong materials and a simple layout are central to this kitchen with a semi-industrial aesthetic

​​​​​​​Party out the front – for this kitchen, the island benchtop is in a beautiful dark-veined white granite, while the perimeter worksurface is in hard-working engineered stone with a white concrete finish. In a design that offers careful material and tonal connections, the veins in the granite connect with the light-toned surfaces in the kitchen, the subway tile splashback included. The inner side of the island and the underbench perimeter cabinetry are in dark panels, completing the two-tone picture.
