Design Details

The kitchen’s bold graphite island anchors the space, while softer light grey cabinetry on the sink run creates visual balance. Antique brass hardware adds tactile warmth and echoes the metalwork featured throughout the home’s exterior.

A standout element is the reduced-depth pantry unit positioned near the entrance. Designed to resemble a freestanding furniture piece, it elegantly bridges the transition between lounge and kitchen areas while providing practical storage from the moment you enter.

Bronze detailing weaves throughout—from the illuminated mirror splashback to the carefully selected brassware—creating a cohesive material story that elevates the entire space.

The Result

A kitchen that feels both elevated and effortlessly liveable—a contemporary classic that perfectly reflects the lifestyle and design sensibilities of the family who calls it home. The space delivers on every level: sophisticated aesthetics, premium functionality, and the flexibility to handle everything from quiet family dinners to large-scale entertaining.
