From the designer:

This project involved the creation of a new kitchen, laundry, and scullery in a spacious 70s family home.

The kitchen was relocated to the eastern end of a large living area, encompassing the kitchen, dining, and living spaces.

The north wall of this area is glass and opens up to the outdoor living area and pool.

Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a laundry and pantry/scullery.

The owner's requirements for the kitchen included island seating, specific appliances positioned for all family members, a bar area, and well-planned storage solutions.

Attention was given to workflow and specific tasks that would take place in the kitchen and adjacent area.

A laundry space and separate walk-in pantry area were planned and fitted out, with storage and appliances installed to make for efficient working and lifestyle requirements.

To maximise available space, extensive use of drawers and inner slide-outs was incorporated into the design.

Additionally, a strategic use of voids allowed for additional storage options.

The material palette focussed on texture.
