Kim Duffin for Sublime Luxury Kitchens & BathroomsThis sky home with stunning views over Brisbane's CBD, the river and Kangaroo Point Cliffs captures the maturity now
found in inner city living in Brisbane. Originally from Melbourne and with his experience gain from extensive business
travel abroad, the owner of the apartment decided to transform his home to match the cosmopolitan lifestyle he has
enjoyed whilst living in these locations.
The original layout of the kitchen was typical for apartments built over 20 years ago. The space was restricted by a
collection of small rooms, two dining areas plus kitchen that did not take advantage of the views or the need for a strong
connection between living areas and the outdoors.
The new design has managed to still give definition to activities performed in the kitchen, dining and living but through
minimal detail the kitchen does not dominate the space which can often happen in an open plan.
A typical galley kitchen design was selected as it best catered for how the space relates to the rest of the apartment and
adjoining living space. An effortless workflow is created from the start point of the pantry, housing food stores as well as
small appliances, and refrigerator. These are within easy reach of the preparation zones and cooking on the island. Then
delivery to the dining area is seamless.
There are a number of key features used in the design to create the feeling of spaces whilst maximising functionality. The
mirrored kickboards reflect light (aided by the use of LED strip lighting to the underside of the cabinets) creating the illusion
that the cabinets are floating thus reducing the footprint in the design.
The simple design philosophy is continued with the use of Laminam, 3mm porcelain sheets to the vertical and horizontal
surfaces. This material is then mitred on the edges of all drawers and doors extenuate the seamless, minimalist, cube look.
A cantilevered bespoke silky oak timber benchtop placed on the island creates a small breakfast/coffee area whilst
increasing bench space and creating the illusion of more space. The stain and other features of this unique piece of timber
compliments the tones found in the porcelain skin of the kitchen.
The half wall built behind the sinks hides the entry point of the services into the apartment. This has been clad in a
complimentary laminate for the timber benchtop . Mirror splashbacks help reflect more light into the space. The cabinets
above the cleaning zone also appear floating due to the mirrored surface behind and the placement of LED strip lighting
used to highlight the perimeter.
A fully imported FALMAC Stainless Rangehood and flyer over compliments the plasterboard bulkhead that houses the air
conditioning whilst providing task lighting to the island.
Lighting has been used throughout the space to highlight and frame the design elements whist creating illumination for all
tasks completed in the kitchen.
Achieving "fluid motion" has been a major influence in the choice of hardware used in the design. Blum servo drive
electronic drawer opening systems have been used to counter act any issues that may be encounter by the added weight
of the porcelain used on the drawer fronts. These are then married with Blum Intivo soft close drawer systems.
The devil is in the detail with a design and space that is so low profile yet complicated in it's simplicity.

Searle & TaylorAs part of a large open-plan extension to a detached house in Hampshire, Searle & Taylor was commissioned to design a timeless modern handleless kitchen for a couple who are keen cooks and who regularly entertain friends and their grown-up family. The kitchen is part of the couples’ large living space that features a wall of panel doors leading out to the garden. It is this area where aperitifs are taken before guests dine in a separate dining room, and also where parties take place. Part of the brief was to create a separate bespoke drinks cabinet cum bar area as a separate, yet complementary piece of furniture.
Handling separate aspects of the design, Darren Taylor and Gavin Alexander both worked on this kitchen project together. They created a plan that featured matt glass door and drawer fronts in Lava colourway for the island, sink run and overhead units. These were combined with oiled walnut veneer tall cabinetry from premium Austrian kitchen furniture brand, Intuo. Further bespoke additions including the 80mm circular walnut breakfast bar with a turned tapered half-leg base were made at Searle & Taylor’s bespoke workshop in England. The worktop used throughout is Trillium by Dekton, which is featured in 80mm thickness on the kitchen island and 20mm thickness on the sink and hob runs. It is also used as an upstand. The sink run includes a Franke copper grey one and a half bowl undermount sink and a Quooker Flex Boiling Water Tap.
The surface of the 3.1 metre kitchen island is kept clear for when the couple entertain, so the flush-mounted 80cm Gaggenau induction hob is situated in front of the bronze mirrored glass splashback. Directly above it is a Westin 80cm built-in extractor at the base of the overhead cabinetry. To the left and housed within the walnut units is a bank of Gaggenau ovens including a 60cm pyrolytic oven, a combination steam oven and warming drawers in anthracite colourway and a further integrated Gaggenau dishwasher is also included in the scheme. The full height Siemens A Cool 76cm larder fridge and tall 61cm freezer are all integrated behind furniture doors for a seamless look to the kitchen. Internal storage includes heavyweight pan drawers and Legra pull-out shelving for dry goods, herbs, spices and condiments.
As a completely separate piece of furniture, but finished in the same oiled walnut veneer is the ‘Gin Cabinet’ a built-in unit designed to look as if it is freestanding. To the left is a tall Gaggenau Wine Climate Cabinet and to the right is a decorative cabinet for glasses and the client’s extensive gin collection, specially backlit with LED lighting and with a bespoke door front to match the front of the wine cabinet. At the centre are full pocket doors that fold back into recesses to reveal a bar area with bronze mirror back panel and shelves in front, a 20mm Trillium by Dekton worksurface with a single bowl Franke sink and another Quooker Flex Boiling Water Tap with the new Cube function, for filtered boiling, hot, cold and sparkling water. A further Gaggenau microwave oven is installed within the unit and cupboards beneath feature Intuo fronts in matt glass, as before.

Corrie Jones ArchitectureWe transformed the ground floor of this house, which was a collection of small, dark and disjointed spaces into one full of light, and life. The previous floorplan was a bit of a rabbit-warren, with an enclosed entrance hall with six separate doors coming off it, each leading to a room with a different function. A very dated kitchen was linked with an even smaller dining area, with a small utility room off of that. The house had no sense of cohesion, very little natural light, and no sense of space...or fun. Our aim was to create a large space for entertaining friends and family, somewhere to eat, drink and be merry.
We converted the kitchen into a snug, and opened up most of the rear of the house and introduced two large expanses of glazing out onto the garden terrace. A large island, along the main entrance axis of the space was introduced, with a large bespoke pocket door allowing the space to be completely open, providing a clear unobstructed view from the front door throughout the house to the rear terrace.
The palette is very smart and subtle mix of light ivory with accents of dark greys, with brushed brass fittings, and warm timber furnishings to bring in added warmth.
