The clients wanted a semi-traditional,
industrial look to the south-facing
kitchen space for their old threebedroom villa. They had already
removed the existing wall lining and
flooring
Cabinetry
The kitchen was narrow and had no
connection to the outside deck. There
were windows on three sides, so wall
space was limited. I decided to put
French doors with sidelights to the
west. This opened the kitchen directly
to the deck and outdoor barbecue area,
providing extra light and a fabulous
indoor-outdoor flow.

The roof trusses looked great, so we
decided to retain and expose them. They
create a more spacious feel and allow for
creative lighting.
An L-shaped kitchen fitted well to the
space, and the utilisation of a new
narrow wall area next to the kitchen
provided enough room for a working
pantry. This provides additional, hidden
bench space and is a place to store small
appliances.
We chose black-stained oak joinery and
textured black benches with white handfinished wall tiles for a crisp yet moody,
classic feel.
Knotted timber floors, creative lighting,
a stainless steel butler’s sink, black iron
handles and the English bronze tap with
black handles were added to strengthen
the industrial look.
The result is a total transformation of
the way the clients live in their home.
The kitchen, although compact, has
ample bench and storage space. It is
now an integral part of their outdoor
entertainment area.
