Yeronga Residence

Having already worked on other living zones of this Yeronga home,  the homeowners wanted a kitchen that would provide plentiful bench preparation space and savvy storage solutions.  There was also a desire to create greater openness and light in what was a very narrow, dark and relatively enclosed area.

The kitchen design needed to transform the central living space of the house into a new focal point for entertaining, allowing for more relaxed, modern living. Both style and functionality were kept front of mind when gathering materials for this project. The antique green kitchen splashback tiles were selected as a prominent feature to complement the homeowners’ vintage collections, and the Caesarstone Fresh Concrete benchtops were chosen to further enhance the room’s appearance by introducing a modern industrial element.

Though the kitchen looks flawless now, We had to navigate and overcome a few challenges during the design stage of the project. The existing walls in particular were difficult to work around at first. However, a structural post was removed to allow the team to open up a wall to create more space.

The extension of the benchtop using hairpin style legs a good solution to compensate for any flex and floor inconsistencies into the adjoining kitchen/sitting area whilst providing a functional and featured addition to the space which previously had limited connectivity. This also helped to take advantage of the city views.

The end result is a bright, modern zone that the homeowners are sure to cherish for years to come.
