refrigerator and coffee machine,” says Gray.
“In terms of feel, they wanted a kitchen with
an eclectic mix of materials for a unique look –
they didn’t want a white kitchen.”
The kitchen had to work around an existing
circular post and dark joinery, and offer easy
connections to the bedrooms and the outdoors.
An existing hallway was transformed into
the new scullery. A U-shape kitchen was chosen
to achieve the large servery requested and to
maximise seating. The new walkway through
the kitchen connects all areas that lead outdoors.
A solid Corian benchtop with waterfall ends
creates a balanced sculptural feature facing the
family room. Accents of striking black stained oak
blend with the existing joinery and contrast the
painted grey cabinetry.
Back-painted glass panels continue linear/
negative detailing right through the kitchen,
while LED lights highlight specific areas at night.

kitchen renovation by Fyfe Kitchens.
Top: Two pantries for food and
crockery flank the entrance to the
scullery. The immovable post was
squared up and clad to match the
kitchen finish, with shelves added for
interest. The sink and hob are sited
to face the outdoor entertaining area.
