Contemporary Kitchen with Solid Surface Benchtops, Stainless Steel Appliances and Concrete Floors Design Ideas

Kitchen with concrete floors & island bench, lime green splashback. Plumbing for upstairs bathroom concealed in drop ceiling to kitchen.

Full-height cabinets and appliances, including a walk-in larder, are discreetly located to one side. Photographer: Rachael Smith

Given that the social aspect of the kitchen was so important, an ‘L’ shaped bar seating area in natural walnut veneer was incorporated at the garden end of the island to a) maximise natural light and views of the garden and b) to be used as a staging area for the summer months when eating/socialising outside. The walnut bar both references the tall cabinet material, and provides a warm, tactile surface for sitting at as well as differentiating kitchen workspace with social space. Darren Chung
