Benchmark design

For most households, the kitchen is well and truly the focal point of the home, which makes its design all the more critical. But these days, good design is not just about looks and functionality it's also about environmental sustainability.

Ian Ferry and Glenda Haakman of Linear Design Kitchens say choosing the eco-friendly option doesn't mean you have to compromise in other areas.

"Sustainable design can be an attractive, healthy and highly practical option," says Ferry. "This kitchen features recycled timber, handcrafted blackbutt handles, and eco-friendly ply, made from locally sourced, renewable timber, and bonded with eco-friendly, zero-emission glues.

"The natural finishes radiate a friendly warmth that makes the kitchen feel welcoming, and not just a place where the chores are done."

Linear Design Kitchens specialises in the high-quality custom design and manufacture of kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, and can also build wardrobes and furniture.

In conjunction with the multi-award-winning development, The Ecovillage at Currimbin Valley, the company has developed a palette of innovative materials that have low toxicity and low environmental impact.
