Our client disliked the dated look of their house and flow of the old kitchen and bathrooms, so our design team created an open plan kitchen with dinning and bar area along with three bathrooms upstairs.

We accomplished this transformation by knocking down two dividing walls, installing a structural beam and changing the footprint.

Our clients wanted a marble that would make a statement in their kitchen, thus choosing Manhattan Marble. It is undoubtedly elegant and sophisticated. They included marble splashbacks to create an even more dramatic effect.

 

Functionality was a must for them, so we incorporated accessories and clever storage solutions that would take their cooking experience to the next level. 

 

Drawers fully fitted with utensils and cutlery inserts keep everything tidy, and the under sink pull out rack provides better access to their cleaning products.

 

Our clients not only love their cooking but also have a big family, so a large pantry to store their supplies was essential. The bi-fold doors to this cupboard and internal drawers provide easier access and offer plenty of storage.

 

We also created two appliance cabinets in the kitchen – one beside the cooktop area for the main cooking appliances and a second one on the sink run for appliances such as a coffee machine, toaster and a small microwave.
