This 1990s terrace house in Richmond was showing its age, in desperate need of a modern makeover. The client, a keen cook and regular host of large gatherings, desired a new purpose-built kitchen. The new design takes the renovation to the next level and rejuvenates the entire property.

His-and-her mini butler zones were incorporated to further enhance the hosting experience, with porcelain Patagonia feature stone with shadowline giving the kitchen a ‘wow factor’. A…

Solo diners unite! Ask yourself: what do you want to eat when you have no demands from family and friends? What is your idea of a meal that is all delight and zero obligation?

This breathtaking project stands as a testament to the subtle power of responding to surrounding natural landscapes and the client’s specific way of living. From the start, the priority was to preserve the stand-out features of the kitchen – such as the timber vaulted ceiling and the original brick floors – and create quiet moments in the colouring and texture of the kitchen that work with these visual focal points. The brief included a desire for a green and white colour scheme. The designer collaborated with the client to decide on specific shades that reflect the surrounding bushland, offering a serene quietude that only nature can bring. Working with original features of the kitchen presented both constraints and opportunities. The walls were too textured for a tiled splashback, so the…
