Kitchen 1
The removal of one ill-placed cupboard and the re-positioning of another allowed enough space for the addition of a new full-size upright gas stove, a free-standing dishwasher, extra shelving and an industrial bench on castors. The injection of the deep red colour on the cupboards contrasts with the deep green of the five potted Sansevieria on the windowsill and the stainless steel of the appliances and the charcoal bench. The result is a dramatic and functional kitchen that also acts as a comfortable and relaxed dining space.

Kitchen 2
Another utterly dull cream on cream colour scheme transformed by using deep paint colours on the walls and cupboards. The replacement of the old cream enamelled upright stove with a stainless steel and glass model also helped create a more contemporary image. The existing classic black and white floor tiles, and white wall tiles appear dramatic alongside the new paint colours.

Kitchen 3
This kitchen is part of recently renovated 50-60s house that is best described as unique (in a good way). The client has a fantastic range of classic and retro furniture that is funky and colourful. She loves colour, but was hesitant to use bright colours in her kitchen. Once she got over the initial shock of my suggested colour scheme, she bravely acted on it and now loves her new space.

Kitchen 4
This alcove was originally this apartment’s laundry. Housing a combined washer/dryer, dishwasher, sink and compact cook top within this alcove, permitted the large original box-like kitchen to be removed, and together with the removal of the separate dining room the living area this apartment was tripled in size. The exposed pipe work, polished concrete floor, metal workbench, and open metal shelving add a sense of industrial chic to this space.

Kitchen 5
This kitchen was designed for the new Adelaide office of the architectural firm DesignInc. The space needed to function as a break-out area for staff and occasionally be used for meetings. Equipment such as the refrigerator, dishwasher, bins and the water chiller/boiler were all integrated within the joinery of this compact kitchen. The bright and fun colour scheme picks up on the corporate scheme used more subtly through the rest of the office.

Kitchen 6
This is same space as Kitchen 6, and is another view of the breakout area. The sexy Miura stools and dramatic orange has resulted in this space being well liked and used by employees.

Kitchen 7
The replacement of the original '90s low-budget laminate kitchen in this inner-Sydney apartment allowed the introduction of space saving appliances and sophisticated finishes. The existing full-size, and space sapping, dishwasher, oven, hotplates and microwave oven were replaced with a single Fisher & Paykel Dishdrawer dishwasher, a single-unit Combi Oven, and a two-element ceramic hob. These appliances freed up space for significant additional storage space while still providing a fully functional kitchen. The kitchen was also given a style boost with the use of black granite, gloss surfaces, and hidden appliances.

Kitchen 8
I had designed the extension to an old Villa to house this kitchen many years prior to the clients completing the works. The clients had their minds set on a ‘Farmers’ kitchen and engaged my help so they could realise this style within their home. My mantra relating to the detailing of this kitchen was ‘if you are going to go over-the-top, then go really over-the-top’. My clients are delighted with the end result.
