The kitchen is a sculptural and functional space that seamlessly integrates with the living and dining areas.

Sound and vision

This kitchen deftly balances a sculptural presence with sound functionality – form, materiality, and subtle detailing are all on show while integrated appliances and a discreet pantry all keep their head down

From the architect:

The kitchen is the heart of this home, a sculptural and functional space that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding living and dining areas.

Designed to evoke a sense of warmth and connection, it features a striking Rugged Concrete engineered stone bench and splashback, grounding the space with its tactile presence.

Brushed brass detailing subtly enhances the kitchen's rich materiality. — Brushed brass detailing subtly enhances the kitchen’s rich materiality.

The cabinetry, finished in Green Slate, reinforces the Golden Elm tree narrative that flows throughout the home, creating a sense of continuity and organic cohesion.

A discreet pantry keeps everyday essentials tucked away, allowing the clean-lined joinery to remain uninterrupted.

Horizontal recesses replace traditional handles, maintaining a sleek aesthetic while incorporating brushed brass detailing that subtly enhances the materiality.

Integrated appliances preserve the refined composition, ensuring that functionality never competes with the home’s serene ambiance.

Overhead, a ceiling detail introduces a recessed strip with a matte black surface, featuring black and gold reflector task lighting.

This refined element extends into the living space, where exposed timber joists celebrate structural integrity and craftsmanship.

Behind pre-finished Birch ply panels, hidden LED lighting provides a soft glow, subtly enhancing the warmth and depth of the interiors.

Beyond the kitchen, the home embraces a harmonious blend of textures and natural finishes.
