fridge and tall pantry – are located together at
the inner end of the kitchen, facing the French
doors,” Nerlich says. “The appliances and sink
are arranged on the long bench to the rear.”
Beneath the frameless, flush rangehood, the
Lacanche cast-iron range is proudly on show,
bringing a touch of country charm to the kitchen
and complementing the French doors.
Storage is addressed by the pantry, drawers
on the business side of the island, the perimeter
cabinetry and the open display shelving.
“The deep overhead cupboards imply a con-
tinuous surface, subtly resolving the junction
with the pantry and creating a recessed area to
contain the air conditioning unit.”
And the kitchen is just as elegant behind
the scenes. The tall pantry doors open to reveal
marble-lined interiors lit with sensor lights.
Free of services, the island is the central focus,
providing a generous preparation area and
space for relaxed gatherings. Melding with the
living, dining and courtyard spaces, the kitchen
completes the informal living zone.

The Lacanche range adds a country
accent to the design.

a pleasing aesthetic end-piece for the
tall cupboards and allow for display
of glassware and objets d’art. These
are continued in other areas of the
ground floor living zone too, helping
to draw the spaces together.
