Both bar and island are topped in richly veined marble.

The long +Segmento island, with its storage on the outside and its waterfalled marble benchtop at either end, makes the sleek kitchen appear bigger than the available space would actually allow.

Handle-less appliances and cabinetry avoid any confusion allowing the alcove to pop!

New kitchen complete with induction hob and pop up down draft ventilation.

This sophisticated kitchen seamlessly blends luxury and functionality, creating a space that is both visually striking and highly practical. Symmetrically positioned double wall ovens provide a balanced aesthetic, while a double-door fridge freezer ensures ample storage. A walk-in scullery enhances efficiency, featuring floating shelves, dedicated wine storage, a dish drawer, a sink, and a pantry with slide-out compartments for appliances.

This multi-space kitchen was created by Mastercraft Kitchens.

The integrated fridge appears from the woodwork.

The drinks station can disappear from sight with the close of pocket doors.

Laundry complete with concealed lighting and direct access to the outdoors.

The use of the in-bench Neff downdraft meant that cooking on the island was possible without the distraction of an overhead rangehood.

- Crisp and contemporary -

The to-hand wine fridge is also on display to the wider space.

Flush fitting the induction cooktop into the Staron creates a seamless plane across the rear benchtop. The metal rangehood cover is another design feature.

Early in the design process it was identified that on-trend curves would be showcased in this house – the kitchen included.

Drinks and the fridge, why they're right here.

An induction hob with downdraft keeps the island benchtop functional and yet seamless.

The cooktop sits on top of a farm table structure with legs, and made of reclaimed wood. The owners were attracted to similar structures in a nearby appliance showroom, also designed by Mick De Giulio.

The sculptural Whispair extractors avoid blocking sightlines to the mountain views.

Contemporary kitchen with island finished in local stone – an induction hob and sculptural rangehood are on show.

Refrigeration is integrated in the sleek scullery.

The proportions of the townhouse kept the scale of the kitchen modest – but that's not how it looks.

The Silver River marble splashback is a standout feature of the texture-rich and colour-rich kitchen.

Looking through to the generous walk-in scullery tucked in behind the kitchen.

Concrete flooring runs through the kitchen, in keeping with the home's rugged brick walls.

The wine fridge is integrated into the cabinetry but a window ensures its precious contents are still on show

The owners also requested a drinks station, which the designer placed behind pocket doors in the second bank of cabinetry along the side wall.

The induction hob is as sleek as the integrated extractor above – it's the marble surfaces set against the crisp white cabinetry that draws the visitor's eye.

Located on the street side of the home, the contemporary kitchen is spacious and light filled.

All working surfaces are tough and hardwearing. The designer used Neolith from CDK Stone as a feature for the island while for the cooktop benchtop, splashback and scullery, black Dekton was selected, to keep in with the dark theme.

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.

Designer: I used the pipe style extractors to minimise the obstruction of the mountain views and to echo the style of the round rustic feature table.

The handleless, high-gloss white cabinetry offsets the kitchen's feature marble benchtops and splashback.

Divided interests – ancillary/cleaning/AV storage to the left, kitchen cabinetry/tea station/pantry/refrigeration to the right. The Poggenpohl cabinetry has every point considered.

A very contemporary polished and brushed steel 'console' houses the steam oven and a single oven. Like the cooktop table sitting next to it, it's also built on legs.

Kitchen and sculptural custom rangehood – concrete floors run through the home.

A crisp, monochromatic palette defines this new beach house, both inside and out. Architect Evelyn McNamara specified dark-stained American oak and white lacquered cabinets in the kitchen, to continue the look of the exterior – the house has black walls, a black roof and white eaves.
