kitchen to its wider heritage environment

Often with a kitchen design, the cues for the
aesthetic are drawn from the wider setting. This
apartment kitchen is in a new mixed-use build-
ing in a sensitive heritage area. The facade’s tiled
elements reference existing historic shopfronts
in the vicinity and the kitchen continues this feel.
Project architect Andrew Smith worked
closely with kitchen designer Lara Farmilo at
Poggenpohl to achieve the exact look required.
“I chose a glazed subway tile in black for the
splashback to echo the exterior tilework,” says
Smith. “And, building on this, we wanted the
whole kitchen to have a light-industrial touch.”
