From the kitchen designer:
Owner brief
- A fully functional practical working kitchen with connection to outside – a beautiful house to connect with the beautiful estate
- Kitchen to be centre of the room
- Kitchen to be very social
- A large sized service area with extended scullery behind for multi functions and everyday tasks
- A space to be enjoyed but also thoughtful in its function
- A kitchen that facilitates all the purposes and all the people
- Organic self sufficient farmhouse designed to incorporate inside / outside
- Being on a farm we had to include provisions for wellies, a connection to the greenhouse, a prep area for washing fruit and vegies
- House entry doesn’t have a formal approach, the kitchen stands at the centre of arrival and connects to the western courtyard
- Dark scullery so a skylight installed for connection to natural light
- Colour choices follow the story of the land, green and beautiful, sitting quietly
- Timber doors painted to see the texture of the timber and the beauty of the colour
- Work in the beautiful stools we had
- Outcome was pleasing – to accommodate so many people in a true working kitchen that would perform culinary delights
