The proportions of the townhouse kept the scale of the kitchen modest – but that's not how it looks.
Refined cabinetry, integrated appliances, a sculptural island and designer pendant all combine to make this kitchen seamless, practical and also a showpiece.
The homeowners wanted a kitchen that felt inviting but also embraced the elegance of bronze mirror finishes.
A breakfast bar adds to the kitchen's day-to-day functionality.
Now you don't see it – now you do. The central bar area reminds behind closed cabinet doors until the party gets started.
The wood-finished kitchen connects with the timber flooring and extends the natural vibe.
The centrepiece of this kitchen is its island, providing to-hand-space-saving functionality and visual impact.
The layout has the outer island where you sit, and the inner island with the cooktop in front of the back wall with the sink area. The owners spend time at home with family and entertaining so the layout and design needed to be very functional.
The island benchtop is underlit to dramatic effect.
The rich allure of marble is also enjoyed in the scullery.
The entire house is decorated in the same way as the kitchen – it's all white and light wood.
The heavy rammed earth walls also provide a feature on the interior.
