benchtops and large scullery bench are also in
this finish.”
As well as physically offering plenty of
room for all, the kitchen adds to it sense of space
in other ways, too. The design is clean-lined and
minimalist, led by the elongated form of the
island. The induction cooktop sits flush in the
Caesarstone countertop and the cabinet handles
are also understated.
“One reason this space works so well is
that everything flows on from one thing to the
next,” says the architect. “The island countertop
steps down to its broader worksurface while the
perimeter cabinets also step down to form the
window seat.”
The kitchen’s subtle two-tone colour palette
of white and grey adds to the peaceful feel that
the owners wanted for the space. The colours
are complemented by the wood-look vinyl floor
which adds another natural accent to the design.
In terms, of function, the scullery holds a
raft of small appliances along with a substantial
refrigerator. The dishwasher is tucked into the
perimeter cabinetry while on the other side of
the kitchen there is a dedicated workspace for
several computers.
Facing page: The kitchen has strong
connections to the outdoors with a
built-in window seat and window
sliders that open directly to the
home’s outdoor entertaining area.
Ranch sliders further down the room
also access the deck.

up with computers – homework can
be quickly be followed by mealtime.

keeping prepping clutter out of sight.
