Top: Undercounter storage abounds
in the expansive kitchen, including in
the bar/servery area. The TV screen
can be angled for viewing from other
areas of the open-plan spaces.
Above: Plants on a low dividing wall
add a natural touch to the design,
while the wall itself provides display
shelves. With the cabinets in muted,
earthy tones, the white stone
benchtops stand out.

forms are topped with wooden cutting blocks.
For ease of use, the kitchen is divided into
four zones – cooking, preparation, clean-up,
and servery. With its wood cutting blocks and a
sink, the island is used for prepping, while the
perimeter counter behind, next to the ovens, is
used for cooking. The clean up zone is located
at the cabinetry under the windows, complete
with an integrated dishwasher. Lastly, there’s
the servery area by the dining table, complete
with coffee station, bar fridge, and a television.
The TV can be swivelled out to view from the
table or the island while the client is cooking
“Along with a pull-out butler’s pantry in the
corner, the kitchen has a wealth of other storage,
such as the cabinets running right around the
perimeter of the space,” Visser says. “The storage
had to be mainly under-bench, so as not to
obstruct the views from the windows.”
“The earthy tones, including the mosaics,
paint, wood accents and wood-look plank floor
tiles all feel right in this rural environment.”
A planter box wall adds to the natural feel.
Designed to be a soft, organic barrier, dividing
kitchen and snug, it also overcomes the height
variances between the two spaces.
