A gleaming 5.6m-long marble island – a significant architectural feat in its own right – stands as the centrepiece of this attractive-meets-practical family kitchen

Designed by Anthony Chan, Chan Architecture

From the architect:

This contemporary kitchen seamlessly integrating luxury materials with functional elegance. 

Anchored by a 5.6m-long Calacatta marble island bench, the space serves as both a culinary workspace and a social hub. 

Custom solid timber joinery introduces warmth and texture, complementing the wider home’s mid-century bluestone walls. 


A double-height void above the kitchen floods the area with natural light, enhancing the sense of openness and reinforcing the connection between levels.

Materiality plays a pivotal role in this design, with natural marble, solid timber, and subtly textured stone tiles working harmoniously to create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. 

The precision in detailing – from the seamless cabinetry to the sculptural pendant lighting – underscores the kitchen’s balance of form and function. 

Every element has been curated to respect the home’s architectural heritage while providing a highly practical, modern family space.
