A great kitchen is only as good as its designer,
its materials – and its appliances.
On this renovation, designer Mal Corboy
was commissioned to create a more social
kitchen – a contemporary design with plenty of
wow factor. To this end, exotic striped zebrino
marble features on the long island and benchtop. The marble, coated to provide a nonporous
surface, is teamed with pearl-blasted oak veneer.
For the reinvented space, Corboy located the
cooktop on the island, resulting in a more social
layout. The custom rangehood is wrapped in
backpainted glass with a copper metallic paint.
