This kitchen embraces its surroundings, opening to a family space, an alfresco area and laundry – an island with both casual dining and breakfast zones was part of the mix

Designed by Anna Klimova, Studio Urbo

From the designer:

Kitchen space was an essential part of a new house we designed for the young growing family in Rydalmere.

The brief

The homeowner requested a few features essential for them:

• The kitchen has to be separate from the formal dining room.

• The oversized island bench to accommodate food preparation space and a table for the family to eat together.

• The kitchen table part of the bench to be of a standard table height.


• Display glass cabinets to be part of the kitchen.

• Kitchen to be located next to the family room or combined.

• Laundry to be accessible from the kitchen area and have external access.

• The adjacent formal dining room to accommodate bar joinery with a full-height wine cabinet and under-the-counter drinks fridge.

• The bar joinery to be designed in the same style as the kitchen and to accommodate shelves for wine bottles and glass hangers.

• The owner specifically asked for the darker colour joinery.

The response

We designed the kitchen as a separate space that would also be used as a family room.

The kitchen has space for a sofa and TV and opens into a large alfresco area connected with the backyard and a small spa pool.
