The requirement for this space was a functional entertainer’s kitchen which provided maximum connection to the outdoors. The central focus of the room is the large island bench and the space opens out onto a large deck and barbeque area with another large window extending to the floor overlooking the garden. Whilst basic laminate cabinets were selected, these were offset by the use of 40mm mitre cut caesar stone bench tops with double under mounted sinks, 900mm drawers and European stainless steel fittings and integrated appliances. To maximise the lightness of the space a mirrored splashback was added and delicate hand blown light fittings. The neutral colour palette highlights the rich dark wood floorboards and will continue to provide a contemporary look through future years.

The dining area can accommodate eight around the circular table. Ties to the kitchen are found in the custom designed and manufactured glass light fitting above the table and a the stencilled Japanese wisteria feature wall which echoes the colour palette of the kitchen, but also adds interest and vibrancy to the entire dining and kitchen area with a base colour of red.
