are teamed with white pine decor panels along
the top drawers of the island and perimeter base
cabinets – for a subtle textural contrast.
“The handles were designed to keep the
look sleek and clean lined,” Farmilo says. “And
because this is an open-plan living area we have
concealed the appliances by integrating them
into the cabinetry wherever possible. We also
placed the two ovens in the side cabinetry, so
they are not too visible from the living area.”
Another feature of the kitchen is the deep
island top. A 12mm Silestone benchtop sits on
a reinforced cantilevered extension clad in the
white pine decor panel. This doubles as a bar or
breakfast area. Farmilo says the kitchen is large
enough to cater easily to a holiday crowd, and
there is ample storage, which is essential in a
beach house.

low storage unit for audiovisual
equipment at the far end of the wall.

cabinets feature a textural white pine
decor panel. The cabinets on the
front of the island are motor driven
for handleless access.
