“It was essential that the kitchen function as
efficiently as possible as the heart of the home,”
says Cole. “This included making sure there
was as much clear bench space as possible.”
Pull-out pantries provide generous storage,
while a wine fridge, double-door fridge and a
dedicated ice-maker are all integrated into the
cabinetry. Cole has even managed to utilise the
high overhead cupboards for long-term storage
of items like suitcases, making up for the lack of
a garage or shed on the property.
Visually, the material palette is restrained.
“We’ve used very raw materials. The walls
and ceiling are in Kobe board – a cement
impregnated chipboard. The benchtop consists
of an orange-oiled spotted gum slab, used as a
cutting board, while the central marble section
is for pastry making.”
The kitchen steps are tiled in slate with a
brass trim edge, and floors throughout are in
burnished concrete.
All of these features make this a kitchen
that’s an intrinsic part of the other living spaces.
“It’s not a ‘hey look at me’ space. It’s one that
family and guests are always engaging with –
the preparation of food is almost incidental.”

palette is restrained: the marble and
timber benchtop is complemented
with the simple white cabinetry and
the black custom steel staircase.
The floors throughout are burnished
concrete.
