Top: Run of rooms – utilising every
inch of available space governed by
lower-ceiling setback requirements,
the laundry, kitchen, and pantry are
all in a row and feature the same
cabinet and benchtop treatments.
Above: The generous bench space in
the laundry is specifically designed
to also be used for plating up large
dishes for parties, so they can be
carried straight to the dining table or
outdoor dining space.

under-counter perimeter cabinetry which offers
a visual break between the travertine floor and
the overhead wood-finished cabinets.
“On a reasonably tight site, we chose the
mirrored splashback to confuse the perception
of the edges of the property – creating a sense of
a larger space,” says Rossetti.
And this material relationship – white,
wood and mirror – continues into the laundry,
pantry and the home’s main bathroom.
“The vertical striations on the upper wood
cabinets meant we could have wide or narrower
cabinet doors as required, without detracting
from the overall look. For example, the exhaust
fan was accommodated and concealed behind a
broad upper cabinet.”
Front of space, the substantial waterfall
island is also white with a mirrored front panel.
Here, the mirror blurs the line between dining
area and kitchen and enhances the feeling of
space in the large room by reflection. Two ovens
are located in the business side of the island.
Operable skylights flood natural light down
on the kitchen’s expansive work surfaces and
assist with important cross-ventilation needed
over the summer months.
