Cover Feature


Curves in All the Right Places


Classical yet modern, and with a mix of materials and functionality – this kitchen was designed to deliver on several fronts


SOMETIMES


a kitchen just isn’t right for the people who have to live with it. The previous kitchen in this beautiful home was soulless, uninspiring and handle-less which constantly gave the owners frustration on which side of the door to apply pressure for opening. They required a new kitchen to provide


a contemporary yet classical feel. They particularly wanted a stunning social island feature to accommodate a Tepan Yaki, induction hob and small island sink. This was to accommodate up to four people and, importantly, be close to a TV screen for the clients’ beloved cricket. A feature to the rear of the sink was


requested as this was previously a window overlooking a side passageway. The kitchen design was developed with


Stoneham’s Strata Light Oak – a modern, classic design. Oak’s enduring and timeless appeal was well received. The island was quite complex as three work surfaces had to blend, including 60mm granite solid oak and an end grain chopping block. The strong colour choice for the shaped island panels adds impact and blend perfectly with other wall décor in the room. The extra wide Gaggenau oven and steam


oven provided the working capacity required and has rekindled the clients’ passion for cooking. The innovative curved and shaped sink


area and H frame oak/glass shelving helped create the wall feature perfectly and give the space a highly defined character. designer
