Half Moon Bay Kitchen
By Celia Visser Design
Seldom does a kitchen sit in isolation. Today it's likely to be an integral part of a wider living space and the centre of formal and informal entertaining in the home. The need for such integration helped to determine the design of this kitchen.
The kitchen needed to have a strong contemporary look to match the rest of the home. It was also important to maximise a great view of the sea – the owners wanted to be able to enjoy an uninterrupted view from the kitchen.
The designer’s solution was a sculptural, white-lacquered island that is anchored at one side by a deep column. To emphasise its distinctive form, a LED lighting strip was added that sits flush in the cabinetry and runs up the column and at right angles along the base of the overhead cabinets.
As well as providing plenty of storage, the island houses two ovens, a cooktop and a commercial ventilation unit.
It's a very streamlined, uncluttered look, which is helped by having a second fully working kitchen directly behind the rear wall. Additional cabinetry in the main kitchen incorporates an integrated refrigerator and dishwasher.
