Innovations: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE
This inspired kitchen design borrows from the robust industrial past, embraces today’s sleek time-saving technology and is carefully planned for a functional future. It cleverly incorporates an overlay of natural finishes and eclectic elegance.
The pre-finished Colorbond ceiling is a series of structural insulated panels that span the full room width. The Versiclad system doubles as both the ceiling and roofing finish. The large exposed structural i-beams contain and define the open plan design. The large light fittings add another layer to further define the industrial theme.
The PGH glazed brick splash-back (colour “Lagoon”) injects colour, complementing the coloured glass chips mixed within the polished concrete floor. A painted brick wall is also a subtle addition to compliment the use of brick.
The 40mm thick hardwood (Merbau) timber detailing works well with the recycled timber sleepers, post and huge timber framed sliding doors. The dramatic “block” of warm dark grey reconstituted veined stone adds a level of sophistication, enhancing the designer detailing and emphasizing the use of high-quality materials.
Adjacent to the food preparation area, the computer station provides a place for the chef to research online recipes, check in on social media, prepare the meal and take in the views all within a couple of steps. When not used as a study nook or computer station, the bi-fold / sliding doors can be closed to look like an extension of the pantry.
The result? A space, seamlessly connected to the stunning outdoors, to prepare, cook, congregate and above all, ENJOY. In the words of the delighted owners “I love my kitchen – it completes our home.”
