rather five high-tech wine cabinets
all in a row grace the back of the
cube kitchen. The butlers pantry that
stands between the wine fridges
and the kitchen’s main countertop
has glass sliding doors for ease of
use and also to conceal it from the
main living spaces. The cabinetry’s
combination of warm grey
Poggenpohl Terra finish and Pine
Terra laminate connect with the dark
wood floors.
cabinetry set to one side, home to two Gaggenau
ovens and a Variocool fridge and freezer.
The main cooktop bench and separate island
are naturally at the front of the cube, while the
butler’s pantry is inside, with sliding glass
doors on each side to it can be hidden away. The
rear of the cube conceals five integrated glass
wine fridges.
“In terms of surfaces, we used a rather subtle
combination of Poggenpohl lacquer on Terra,
a brown-meets earthy grey, and Pine Terra, a
wood veneer laminate. Sleek 12mm stainless
steel has been used on all benchtops, integrated

sinks and as a finish to the sides of the island,”
says Kane. “This durable, low-upkeep surface
also adds to the reflective quality of the kitchen
within the light-filled space.”
While visually self-contained, the kitchen also
had to be considered in terms of cooking odours
and extraction noise in the wider living space.
“To address these issues, we opted for a
Sirius rangehood with external extraction for
silent extraction of food vapours,” he says. “An
exposed metal spiral duct connects the rangehood to the outside world and adds a hint of
industrial influence to the contemporary home.”
