California dreaming: Pitch-perfect kitchen
“The rear extension of this California bungalow was built in the late 1980s and needed a complete overhaul. The homeowners are busy professionals and spend a lot of time interstate, so this self-contained studio apartment-like extension perfectly suits their needs. Our brief was to create a large entertainer’s kitchen that was the main feature of the space. We removed internal walls and installed a new spotted gum floating timber floor and laundry behind Hettich WingLine doors. Minimal finishes combined with a streamlined design and reverse bevel finger pulls for doors and drawers are the perfect setting to show off the tropical feature splashbacks at the 4m rear bench and 2.5m island. The acrylic couture malachite green splashbacks were meticulously detailed for a seamless finish. Power is located in the appliance cabinet at the end of the rear bench and at the waterfall ends of the island for a clutter-free and functional kitchen. Spotlights and Studio Italia Yuki pendants add a final touch of drama to the pitched ceiling.”
