Story by Charles Moxham

While having only a simple recessed handle
pull running right across the bank of cabinetry
adds to the kitchen’s minimalist look, it wasn’t
that easy to achieve in practical terms.
“It was tricky to continue the finger pull
handles across the integrated fridge/freezers,”
Diprose says. “In the end, we applied custom
steel to the appliances and painted this to match
the cabinets – thus continuing the handle line.”
A glass balustrade was chosen for the adjacent
stairwell so the kitchen wouldn’t feel constricted
by the proximity of the stairs.
The kitchen’s perimeter benchtop is in a dark
Dekton to match the rear cabinetry. And Diprose
ran this heat-resistant surface on beyond the
window as part of the outdoor barbecue area.
“However, the waterfall countertop on the
kitchen island is in a white Eurostone – giving
it a stand-out presence. The front of the island,
drawers included, is finished in wood to bring a
warm contrast to the cool wall cabinets.”
Wood is also repeated in the cooking zone to
visually connect the front and rear of the kitchen.

the panoramic sea views.

incorporated into the kitchen design
as a splashback – throwing natural
light directly onto the cooktop zone.

dark cabinetry and wood surfaces
are all continued outdoors in the
adjacent barbecue area.
