Mim Design, NNH Residence

Taking home the first place contemporary kitchen prize, Mim Design created a showstopping look for this open plan kitchen. As keen entertainers, the owners of the NNH residence needed a kitchen that could facilitate generous hosting, as well as function for their family, including two young boys. It needed to be robust, practical and high-end, all at once.

The kitchen orbits about the central island, which also offers a casual dining area. Timber veneer joinery and custom stainless steel hardware sit against the natural stone, resulting in a lux, yet minimal, user-friendly space.

Maker + May, Canadian Bay

It’s hard to believe that this fit-out was the first large-scale residential kitchen project of interior designer Kirstyn Lloyd from Maker + May. The brief was to deliver a space for a family with three small children, that was family-friendly without comprising on elegance.

Luxurious materials have been used throughout the space. The neutral tones of the gallery kitchen are anchored by the rich black timber joinery, complemented by the island made of Elba marble, and European oak. The Sub-Zero refrigerator is subtly integrated, cloaked by the Manasta Gray marble hood cover.. The open plan space sprawls into the living and dining area, making the kitchen the true heart of the home.

Chris Connell Design, Armadale House

This professional chef’s kitchen is a modern update to Victorian era home, designed as both a personal kitchen, and filming location for the owner. The space needed to accommodate from eggs on toast breakfasts, to film shoot days, and big sprawling dinner party evenings. The design focuses on maximizing functionality and versatility.

The room is centered on the two refrigerators which ground the space, framed by industrial stainless steel, oak cabinetry and marble countertops. Natural light floods the space through the generous skylight and windows, perfect for both long filming days!

Studio Lancini, Copelen Street

This flexible and functional space by Studio Lancini continues the aesthetics of the home into the kitchen, offering elegance and uninterrupted lines throughout the entire property.

Neutral shades are elevated with black accents, including ovens and cooktop, and a black glass sliding door that cleverly conceals a butler’s pantry. There are several hidden delights in this kitchen, including the Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer concealed behind panelled mirrors and cabinetry. These mirrors, along with the reflective stone surface, offer a sleek, streamlined look.
