Working from the ground up with this new build in Tuxedo, the homeowners behind this sleek kitchen had free reign to create their dream space. Lloyd Sector Architects helped them design an open, impeccably modern kitchen that combines technology, style and function.

Centred around a substantial island, this clean space has plenty of room for cooking or entertaining. Technology is cleverly integrated into the design, from the slim induction cooktop mounted on the counter, with an extraction fan
that rises with the touch of a button, to the central vacuum that sucks up debris swept into a vent in the base of the centre island. A TV which can be pulled out and swiveled in any direction, and be seen from any room on the main floor, is cleverly mounted as a dividing wall, separating the kitchen from the living room.
Large windows, rich brown wood cabinets, and removable planter boxes perfect for housing cheery flowers and fragrant fresh herbs inject warmth into the space, making this sleek and welcoming room perfect for a party.
FLOORING Carrara Tile and Marble.
COUNTERTOPS Blizzard, Caesarstone.
CABINETRY Custom millwork and stainless steel accents, Cameo Woodwork.
