2021 TIDA Australia Kitchens

A standard approach to kitchen design was not an option for this glamorous open-plan living area. Instead, an intricate bar sits front of house, with attractive and practical kitchen space tucked in behind. 

Interior spaces of this new modern, elegant home, reflect a European luxury – including the beautifully detailed kitchen sitting at the heart of the home.

A complete revamp of the entire space created a new functional layout suitable for cooking for a large family, while also being a social centre for working from home and for kids to do homework.

Designed to explore small-footprint living for higher-density suburbs, this compact kitchen makes carefully considered use of every available millimetre.

Natural light floods this new kitchen via a row of skylights that align with the tall and low-level cabinetry, while an adjacent slot window gives oblique views to the street.

A core aspect of this kitchen’s plan was to minimise the need for movement when on task – from bringing in groceries, to meal preparation, to clean-up.
