Free Spirit
The clients came to me with a full renovation where they were creating a large open space for the kitchen, living and dining. The main aspiration was to create a kitchen that was visually interesting, using full availability of the space, but still in keeping with the client’s own personality and flair. Their kitchen needed to be a work of art and still have a comfortable feel for family living.
The most important aspect was that my clients are family orientated they spend much of their free time in their home and enjoy entertaining. So it was also important to have a place that guests can sit around to chat during food preparation and for the children to do homework.
Another important aspect was creating a kitchen that is visually interesting which is achieved by the use of clean linear lines, White hi gloss surfaces with Zebrano Veneer added for interest.
The kitchen was positioned with the island facing the main outdoor area to view the homes distinctive sea views but it is also perpendicular with a smaller more intimate outdoor area where the barbeques are located. It also allows the much needed natural light coming to rebound of the glass and hi-gloss surfaces, creating a sense of extra light and space.
By using these aspects it has turned the space into a fully functional and practical kitchen. A good working relationship and constant communication with the client is what was needed to enable this project to be successful.
