example, the recessed aluminium handles have
a cool, modern tone, matching the flat doors.
Marble-look engineered stone countertops
add to the classic side of things, with a waterfall
end showing off the richness of the veined stone
patterning to the living spaces.
“As the kitchen has a modest footprint and
is close to several public areas, I designed the
island with fixable castors. This means it can be
fixed in place or, with locks released, it can be
rolled closer to the dining area or outdoor room.
The island’s external stainless steel frame works
well with the strip recessed cabinetry handles.”
In terms of cooking function, the kitchen’s
classic oven and fridge are matched by modern
wall ovens and an industrial-size Scope fridge
in the scullery. Plus, the scullery has a double
butler’s sink to match the one in the kitchen.
“The scullery also has open shelves to make
it easy to access things quickly.”
Despite fusing classic elements with a light
industrial feel, the kitchen achieves harmony.
“The consistent use of black and white
tones draws the various aspects of the design
together,” says the designer. “Even the salt and
pepper concrete floor contributes to this theme.”

as the white cabinetry, recessed
handles, concrete floor and marble-
look countertops – are continued
from the main kitchen design.
