includes a walnut veneer island bar
top that stops short of the ends of
the island to make more plating
room. Recessed pulls and slender
countertops create a minimalist feel
for the modern, on-show kitchen.

a niche that lets you clip on utility
shelves exactly where needed. LED
strip lights add an ethereal touch.

An incongruous rustic kitchen was removed
from this high-rise apartment before designers
William Landeros and Jed MacKenzie could
introduce this entertainer’s kitchen in its place.
“The owners wanted the new kitchen to
have an open, modern appeal, with the stainless
steel appliances on show to the adjacent living
areas,” says MacKenzie. “The look of metal is
continued with stainless steel panelling high on
the side wall of the kitchen and on the toekicks.”
The kitchen faces towards the views and so
the designers chose a Bulthaup kitchen with the
rear wall panels in a white high-gloss lacquer.
“The gleaming surfaces bounce natural light
through the interior and reflect the view, too –
making the most of the apartment’s situation.”
Matching bright, white glass panels provide
the splashback behind the hob while the island
is in a Cashmere-hued, soft-to-the-touch lacquer.
To enhance the light feel, overhead cabinets
were avoided. Storage is supplied by the under-
bench cabinetry, the side cabinetry, an appliance
garage and drawers on both sides of the island.
The scullery includes a wine fridge, further
storage and a washer-dryer, and is entered via
the pocket wood and glass door to the rear. .
