drawers and gives the island a floating appeal.
“In terms of the layout, we separated areas of
operation, with the perimeter cabinetry, island,
cooktop and some upper wall cabinetry on one
side of the light-filled space and the wall ovens,
integrated refrigerator and pantries on the wall
opposite,” says Bustamante. “The choice of a
textured, wood-look veneer on both, draws the
areas together. This kitchen is more about work-
ing at your own pace than tight work triangles.”
Given that the greater space is effectively an
art gallery, Bustamante selected a restrained pal-
ette to avoid detracting from the artworks.
The engineered stone benchtops are white on
the island and the rest ginger – a yellow brown
that complements the laminate and wood floors.
The touch-to-open, fold-up wall cabinets on
either side of the window pick up on the white
marble on the wall and the ginger benchtops.
“Plenty of storage was another request from
the owners. We specified drawers throughout –
they offer the most space and have a minimalist
look, as do the slender aluminium pulls.”.

part of the kitchen on the opposite
wall to the islands and sprawling
work surfaces, Nar Design Group
was able to further downplay the
kitchen’s role within the gallery-like
space. However, the use of textured
laminate in both areas, draws the
kitchen together thematically.
