Creating Flow
The central living space is open and connected, with an open fireplace between the living and dining areas that is a natural gravitational point. The kitchen utilises its original footprint and is therefore modest in size. However, it is surrounded by windows and the material palette now flows through seamlessly into its spotted gum timber joinery and brick flooring, further creating a sense of continuation between the spaces.
Less is more
Working with Fisher & Paykel to select both integrated and Contemporary style appliances for the kitchen was an essential part of paying respect to the modernist aesthetic. The owners had a “less is more” approach, reducing unnecessary detail and opting for a small selection of highly effective products, including a dishwasher, insert rangehood and refrigerator (all integrated) as well as an electric cooktop and an oven from the Contemporary Range.
