Reflecting the raw nature of the architecture, this kitchen features a breeze block dividing wall, steel frame shelving and an aggregate concrete floor underfoot
Greener than it looks
For this seaside renovation/transformation, the home's original brick walls are covered with recycled hardwood cladding
