Hawthorn Residence | 2013

Bright, elegant and thoughtfully connected to its heritage surroundings, this Hawthorn kitchen renovation sits between a stunning Victorian conservatory dining room and the main living area. The Shitake-toned island, featuring waterfall ends and a dark timber back panel, becomes the centerpiece of the space, setting a refined modern tone that can be appreciated from both adjoining rooms.

Crisp white cabinetry and a sleek glass splashback keep the design light and understated, allowing the character-rich traditional brickwork to remain a feature. Above the benchtop, a clever vertical sliding door system creates a sophisticated display cabinet while concealing flexible everyday storage.

DESIGN TIPS

  • When a kitchen sits between two adjoining living spaces, a well-designed island can become the visual anchor from every angle. Using a contrasting stone and darker feature panels help define the island as a statement piece while adding warmth and depth to the overall design;
  • A vertical sliding door cabinet is a clever solution to keep everyday appliances and storage concealed yet easily to accessible, while also offering a stylish display feature.
