This single wall kitchen is complimented by a generously sized island. The stone painted doors allow this large space to maintain warmth, and the solid oak breakfast bar carries through a rustic feel from the exposed brick seating area. Opting for a light wood floor and plenty of spot lights has compensated for the lack of natural light in the room.

A couple with two young children appointed FPA to refurbish a large semi detached Victorian house in Wimbledon Park. The property, arranged on four split levels, had already been extended in 2007 by the previous owners. The clients only wished to have the interiors updated to create a contemporary family room. However, FPA interpreted the brief as an opportunity also to refine the appearance of the existing side extension overlooking the patio and devise a new external family room, framed by red cedar clap boards, laid to suggest a chevron floor pattern. The refurbishment of the interior creates an internal contemporary family room at the lower ground floor by employing a simple, yet elegant, selection of materials as the instrument to redirect the focus of the house towards the patio and the garden: light coloured European Oak floor is paired with natural Oak and white lacquered panelling and Lava Stone to produce a calming and serene space. The solid corner of the extension is removed and a new sliding door set is put in to reduce the separation between inside and outside. Photo by Gianluca Maver

La cuisine a été réalisée sur mesure avec des portes sans poignées, en laque satinée blanche et grise. Un bandeau de leds incrusté dans le meuble souligne le volume de l’ensemble et crée un éclairage indirect. Le plan de travail est en marbre de carrare. La cuve en inox est collée sous le plan afin de la rendre plus discrète.

The impressive 3 meter ceiling in the kitchen gives this room it's own importance. With a skylights and an exposed steel beam and beautiful pendant your eye is drawn up as well as across the space. With green accents running through the design as well as the print of the upholstered banquette, there is a real sense of inside/outside living.

Upon entering the front gate the owners of this Stafford Heights property are greeted by a private and tranquil tropical courtyard space. Frameless glass sliding windows seamlessly connect the courtyard to the contemporary kitchen inside. An outdoor timber servery bar top allows family members and guests to sit and enjoy the outdoor space while maintaining conversation with those inside the kitchen. The kitchen layout was designed to allow the homeowners to enjoy expansive city views framed by a wall of windows as they prepare dinner in this large open plan space. A monochrome colour scheme with handless opening matt finish cabinets creates a minimalist, sleek and contemporary feel to the space. The marble look splashback and island benchtop with waterfall ends add a touch of luxury whilst keeping in harmony with the clean lines and black and white colour scheme. The use of a plain black stone on the main kitchen benchtops allows the island bench to be the hero of the space. A walk in pantry provides ample storage for all dry food items behind a full height handless opening door next to the cooking area. Small appliances are easily accessed yet hidden away from sight on a pull out shelf behind a roller door in the side of the pantry. To maintain the minimal lines of the space, hidden inner drawers have been included in the drawer banks either side of the sink to provide storage for utensils. What the clients said: “We were recommended to Kitchens by Kathie from a friend who was equally happy with their kitchen. From start to end, nothing was too much trouble. Tara had excellent and creative ideas but was always mindful of what WE wanted and worked that into the equation. There is not a day we don't marvel at our beautiful kitchen and applaud our decision to use Kitchens by Kathie. Thanks Tara!!!”
