Even when the needs of a kitchen are many,
a strong, simple layout can be the best solution.
Such was the case with this workspace in a new
home designed by architect Clinton Cole of
CplusC Architectural Workshop.
“Given the demands on a busy family with
several small children, we decided on an easyaccess galley-style kitchen,” says Cole. “This
layout also worked well with the adjacent double-height circulation and dining space.”
The island‘s dramatic waterfall benchtop is
in hard-wearing spotted gum. The benchtop is
purposely deep to make easy work of prepping

Above: A six-metre long island with a
spotted gum waterfall benchtop and
cedar-strip front is a star feature in
this kitchen by architect Clinton Cole.
The galley layout makes it easy for
multiple chefs – or hungry children – to
enter the kitchen from either end.
Left: The design includes a pantry
and laundry to the rear of the kitchen.
These rooms are accessed via
concealed doors set into the wall at
both sides of the off-white perimeter
cabinetry.
