This family kitchen is designed for easy living
This open plan kitchen, dining, and living area faces out to bush views and takes advantage of all day sun

Architect: Michael Cooper Architects
About the project: The brief was to renovate this family home to create an easy open-plan living for the busy family of four.
The floor plan consists of an open plan kitchen, dining, and living area orientated towards bush views and to take advantage of all day sun. The kitchen island needed to be a zone for the family to congregate around during the busy week.
Open and closed shelved ensures belongings are stored away but still easy to access. The layout and design of the kitchen is such that it's easy to keep clean and tidy, yet is warm and welcoming.
