SEAFOAM SERENITY

Reminiscent of wavy seafoam, serene Aquarzo quartzite envelops the kitchen. This remarkable use of stone, a first in Australia, required meticulous craftsmanship to create a fully functional, stone-clad kitchen. Minute details, like seamless corners and thoughtful lighting, yield a simply stunning design.

BUILT FOR CONNECTION

The kitchen's design centers around fostering togetherness and tranquility. By strategically positioning the primary food preparation area with sightlines to the open living spaces, entryway, and outdoors, the kitchen becomes a serene environment where family and community connect through food.

PUSHING THE LIMITS OF DESIGN

The design embraces new frontiers in design innovation and construction excellence, resulting in a timeless, artful masterpiece. Utilizing a simple material language of concrete, stone, and glass, the home creates a simple yet powerful architectural statement.

LUXURY APPLIANCES

Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, chosen for their superior performance and design, seamlessly integrate into the kitchen's aesthetic. Their sleek appearance complements the modernist style and enhances both the visual appeal and functional utility of the kitchen.

PRACTICAL SCULLERY

Designed to connect with the larger kitchen, the thoughtfully integrated scullery offers a place for intensive cooking tasks and discreetly conceals clutter. It offers enhanced functionality without the isolation of standard sculleries.
