Penthouse style

Take one beachfront site, add a chic, contemporary apartment building and beautifully landscaped gardens, and you have a recipe for the high life.

La Corniche in Manly offers such a lifestyle. Developed by Lifestyle Pacific, the complex was designed to provide owners with maximum comfort and luxury. As well as offering extensive sea views and large balconies for alfresco living, the apartments are fitted out with quality fixtures and fittings.

Developer Grant Lewis says appliancesfrom the Miele Aluminium range were specified for the penthouse kitchens.

"We undertook a lot of research into the appliance market before making a decision," he says. "We were particularly interested in the aluminium finish of these appliances, which resists finger marks. It's a practical surface, but it also provides the sleek, contemporary look we were after."

Lewis says the reputation of the company was another factor in the decision.

"Miele has always been a good company to work with, and we have been impressed by the appliances' performance and reliability."

The penthouse apartment shown here features the Miele Aluminium wall oven, plate warmer, built-in steam cooker, Combi oven with built-in microwave, and built-in coffee machine. The kitchen also has a Miele Aluminium rangehood, three Combiset hob units, including a grill; and a fully integrated Miele dishwasher.

The H383-2BT KAT wall oven, with a flush, full width, triple-glazed door, has 10 functions. These include rapid heat-up, enhanced fan heat, auto roast, defrost, fan grill and intensive bake.

For quick and tasty meals, the Miele H183 MB Combi oven combines conventional oven functions with a powerful microwave. This oven comes with a range of functions, all designed to make meal preparation easier.

Steam cooking with the Miele DG163 steam cooker is a way to retain the true taste and nutrients of vegetables, seafood and meat. The steam cooker is well suited to defrosting food and reheating dishes.

Apartment owners can also enjoy coffee on tap, thanks to the Miele CVA 620 coffee machine. Not only does it brew coffee to suit, it also grinds the beans to ensure freshness. Two cups can be prepared simultaneously.
