The brief from the first consultation with the customer was to have the kitchen as the focal point of the home – a minimalist kitchen with clean lines, modern finishes and susceptible to a young growing family. The customer was also looking for technology via a computer or similar in this project as they loved the idea of being able to access the internet for recipes, online food shopping and other daily activities. From this initial brief we gave the customer a list of websites, and magazines to look at.

From the first consultation we spoke with Harvey Norman and Vision Living about the various ways we could implement technology into the project. During the design phase we were able to design a “communications” cabinet and a wall niche with the assistance of the builder to house a touch screen computer, which had internet, TV and the ability to connect to the house-wide customer’s audio system.

During the second consultation we pieced all the idea’s and design elements the customer liked together, appliance specifications along with preferred finishes and set off to design and specify the kitchen project. From the design elements the customer liked, it was clear the European stylings grabbed their attention. Ideas such as:

• no handles on doors and drawers
• high gloss finishes
• integrated / hidden appliances
• feature shelving &
• feature lighting.

We designed the handle-less frontals, using the BLUM servo drive system along with orgaline. As the customer had fallen in love with high gloss we specified the Ultra Glaze product in a lighter colour which would show less of the finger prints of a young growing family. We also introduced feature lighting, and specified LED as it’s cooler to touch for young children.

Kitchen
This head turning PVC Caribbean White & Jet Black Gloss kitchen is the “showpiece” of the room. It has features such as lift up translucent glass doors with downlights, Blum Tandembox corner & pot drawers & walk thru pantry doors which lead into a full size larder. The benchtops have a combination of Smartstone ‘Regal Black’ & ‘Hamilton’ to tie in with the black & white theme that this kitchen shows off. The black multi-coloured pearl glass splashback is a real feature with downlights casting light and shade to the worktop.

Bar
This bar definitely has that “wow” factor with features such as Aliedge Slimline 55 Black gloss doors, tiered shelving, stainless steel splashback & 2 tone glass splashback. The ‘Hamilton’ smartstone has a dropped front apron with downlights that accentuates the depth and tone in the glass splashback.

Ensuite
The sleek looking vanity features Chocolate Pear 2mm laminate doors with 3 Blum Tandembox drawers with stainless steel laminate kickers. A 20mm ‘Latte’ Caesarstone benchtop completes this room.

Walk In Robe
This features not just your standard hanging but also SU Units with Blum Metabox drawers, adjustable shelving units and also a dresser. It is featured in chocolate pear 2mm laminate with a step in the centre benchtop and high mirror.

Laundry
The laundry is a large size with all the accessories needed to make the washing more enjoyable. It features a pull out wire laundry basket on a Blum tandembox runner, underbench washer & dryer provision, Broom cabinet with broom clips & overhead cabinets with chrome hanging rail under for hanging space while ironing. The doors are in PVC Latte colour with Laminex Lunar Stone coloured laminate benchtop which keeps the laundry a neutral colour and a pleasure to work in.

This month we have a new kitchen designed by Daniel D’Angelo, in conjunction with the client.

This stunning feature kitchen is truly an entertainer’s delight, once family & friends see this master piece they will not be able to stop talking about it. The PVC Gold & Caribbean White Gloss Door finishes look fantastic with the reflection from the natural light that the large fixed windows let in. The 40mm Silestone “Negro Stellar” bench tops cast an imposing presence with colour & depth.

The 55mm Box Ali Frost Doors with Polar White Insert provide a sleek & handle-less finish blending in with Stainless Steel laminate shadowline & kickers. Not a detail has been missed with numerous pot drawers featuring the Blumotion soft closing drawer system.

No expense has been spared with 2 door fridge freezer, induction cook top, pyrolytic oven, integrated dishwasher, undermount range hood & sinks. To the side of the kitchen there is also a large walk in larder fitted with open shelf floor & overhead cabinets so the feature kitchen can always look immaculate. This is a seriously stylish kitchen that any world class chef would be proud to have in their own home.
