Design Brief
A warm and inviting space in my client’s inner-city dwelling reflects his personality and style. Therefore, earth tones with hints of green and bronze were used. Texture in the tiles, wallpaper, and timber-look cabinetry gave the kitchen depth and movement. Toned with some black cabinetry and a light Caesarstone benchtop this kitchen makes you feel welcome.
With the home being in an apartment complex, there were a few parameters of the existing kitchen we had to keep, such as the placement of the kitchen on the back wall. There was no area for dining, so a peninsular was created to meet this requirement and give more preparation space whilst creating an area to sit and converse.
With the only natural light coming from a balcony, open, clear spaces and lighting played an important part in the design. The benchtop was relative to the height of my client and we were able to take advantage of the 2700mm high ceilings by building full-height cabinetry, to create the illusion of space.
