Kitchen with White Appliances Design Ideas

This residence was designed to be a rural weekend getaway for a city couple and their children. The idea of ‘The Barn’ was embraced, as the building was intended to be an escape for the family to go and enjoy their horses. The ground floor plan has the ability to completely open up and engage with the sprawling lawn and grounds of the property. This also enables cross ventilation, and the ability of the family’s young children and their friends to run in and out of the building as they please. Cathedral-like ceilings and windows open up to frame views to the paddocks and bushland below. As a weekend getaway and when other families come to stay, the bunkroom upstairs is generous enough for multiple children. The rooms upstairs also have skylights to watch the clouds go past during the day, and the stars by night. Australian hardwood has been used extensively both internally and externally, to reference the rural setting.

The project was the result of a highly collaborative design process between the client and architect. This collaboration led to a design outcome which prioritised light, expanding volumes and increasing connectivity both within the home and out to the garden. Within the complex original plan, rational solutions were found to make sense of late twentieth century extensions and underutilised spaces. Compartmentalised spaces have been reprogrammed to allow for generous open plan living. A series of internal voids were used to promote social connection across and between floors, while introducing new light into the depths of the home.

The window splash-back provides a unique connection to the outdoors, easy to clean and plenty of light through the day.

This home,perched within stones throw from the ocean, is all about layered materials and classic silhouettes to create a relaxed yet elegant interior. The heart of the home, the kitchen, is light, bright and seamlessly blends into the open floor plan. The two lounge areas in the open plan layout are releaxed yet elegant, and have their own distinct feel to create the obvious feel of two spaces. Custom joinery is featured throughout as a beautiful way to bring character and personality to the home, with a neutral palette used right through with pops of black for contrast. The master bedroom was created more like a hotel suite with a quaint sitting area placed in front of the fireplace. A grand 20 metre hallway lined with VJ wall panelling and linen sheers creates a magical walk from the open plan at the front to the guest rooms at the rear. Without a doubt this home is spectacular from any angle. Intrim supplied Intrim SK568 skirting board in 185mm high skirting board and 115mm wide architrave, along with SB01 skirting blocks to finish the look.

The kitchen featuring Smartstone island benchtop and splashback is proving a joy to live with its winning combination of luxe marble aesthetic in super-durable quartz. For the bathroom, Leeza chose Smartstone Amara, a soft, beautiful surface that features a subtle, random grey vein on a white background.

Fairfield House saw the renovation, extension and first floor addition to a quaint single-fronted weatherboard Victorian cottage. A contemporary yet warm and inviting open-plan living zone has been added behind the restored façade with bedrooms three and four, study, bathroom and rumpus completing the home on the first floor. The opportunity to build on the boundary allowed a mud-room to be added to the front of the house in a contemporary lean-to style extension. This structure serves multiple purposes including storage, natural light provision to the entry via a sky-window and an anchor point for a substantial light-well, allowing day light and fresh air to flood the centre of the home. Materiality within the Living spaces showcase the more elaborate of the refined palette. Shallow v-grooves cut into joinery panels are custom specified ensuring symmetry and subtlety. Also contributing to the pallet are honed Elba marble, featured as the expansive kitchen splash back, and textured blackened timber. The design capitalises on opportunities presented by the site and existing dwelling including expansive access to northern light and restoration of existing character features of the cottage. A generous study nook and elongated window are tucked into a corner created by the kitchen. The design creates communal areas to gather and socialise as well as spaces for privacy, rest and work.
