Slender countertops are matched with a chunky wooden bar top in this kitchen renovation
In this entertainer’s kitchen, high-gloss cabinetry reflects the high-rise apartment’s views while the tactile island is silky to the touch
An incongruous rustic kitchen was removed from this high-rise apartment before designers William Landeros and Jed MacKenzie could introduce this entertainer’s kitchen in its place.
“The owners wanted the new kitchen to have an open, modern appeal, with the stainless steel appliances on show to the adjacent living areas,” says MacKenzie. “The look of metal is continued with stainless steel panelling high on the side wall of the kitchen and on the toekicks.”
The kitchen faces towards the views and so the designers chose a Bulthaup kitchen with the rear wall panels in a white high-gloss lacquer.
“The gleaming surfaces bounce natural light through the interior and reflect the view, too – making the most of the apartment’s situation.”
Matching bright, white glass panels provide the splashback behind the hob while the island is in a Cashmere-hued, soft-to-the-touch lacquer.
To enhance the light feel, overhead cabinets were avoided. Storage is supplied by the under-bench cabinetry, the side cabinetry, an appliance garage and drawers on both sides of the island.
The scullery includes a wine fridge, further storage and a washer-dryer, and is entered via the pocket wood and glass door to the rear. .
