Designing kitchens for apartments before they are sold means choosing styles and finishes that are likely to appeal to a wide variety of tastes.

At 38 The Bond, PTW opted for a simple, clean, classic look for the kitchens in each of the apartments.

"In a prestigious project like this, it's necessary to come up with a look that will appeal to as many people as possible," says architect Mark Butler.

Laminex White Polar laminate was selected for the cabinetry to give the kitchens a fresh look. It also provides a sophisticated background that works well with other materials and finishes introduced by apartment owners.

As well as being durable, Laminex laminates are UV-stable, so they won't fade, an important consideration in an open-plan apartment in a high-rise building. Laminex laminates are available in a wide range of more than 200 different colours, including a variety of wood grains, as well as plain and patterned laminates.
