Close reflection goes into every great kitchen
design but this project took the concept literally.
The owners wanted a black, high-gloss kitchen
that would reflect the home’s beautiful harbour
and city views, says designer Damian Hannah.
“To achieve this, we created the cabinetry,
splashback and benchtops in almost mirror-finish black back-painted glass. An all black kitchen
can be overpowering so we added aluminium
recessed cabinet handles and matching brushed
aluminium toekicks to soften the black.”
While the shiny black surfaces command
attention, this kitchen is also highly functional.
