Contemporary Shaker
This newly constructed house needed a relaxed, inviting kitchen to make it a home. The kitchen and living areas are on the top floor of the three-storey house, so the design team needed to consider design choices to accommodate the layout. They designed and built a relaxed, contemporary- classic kitchen that integrates seamlessly into the large living and dining spaces.
The Shaker-style cabinetry is juxtaposed with wood textures, creating interest from the moment you enter the space. Silestone in Desert Silver appears on the room’s benchtops, complementing the cabinetry beautifully. The tiled splashback, pendant lighting and brass hardware add a touch of luxe to this contemporary space.
This kitchen needed to be endlessly functional, so high-end appliances were carefully selected. Special highlights include the ILVE Nostalgie freestanding double dual oven stove with a simmer plate, the ILVE cupboard rangehood, the Miele fully integrated dishwasher, and of course the SubZero dual-zone wine storage unit.
The nearby butler’s pantry was designed to provide the family with extra storage and an additional wash-up area to ensure the main kitchen can remain clean and tidy as much as possible.
Designed to match the upstairs kitchen’s look and feel, it allows the homeowners to entertain over two levels – perfect for this family’s teenage children and their friends.
