Contemporary Kitchen with curved elements, timber and bronze
The new owners of this spacious luxury unit in Mosman wanted a refresh to the now out-dated kitchen, laundry and other joinery.
Set in the iconic Thirri Tyirri building something special was required.
Previously, widespread use of rather heavy timber and beige tones created a very somber 'brown' palette, which the owners were keen to change.
A contemporary look with plenty of high-end design features was therefore a must. This was brilliantly achieved by the careful selection of each design element.
As the 'hero' element, Laminex's stunning Brushed Bronze metallic laminate, with it's lovely warm coppery/gold tones, was selected for the curved rangehood, feature shelving and island support. This was perfectly paired with Polytec's Florentine Walnut WoodMatt timber-look laminate, with its subtle woodgrain embossing, for the tall units along one of the walls. Resene Spanish White Half satin for the rest of the cabinets was then chosen to provide a neutral backdrop for the feature elements.
Naturally, a stunning benchtop and splashback was sought to do justice to the other elements. The honed Taj Mahal Quartzite meets the brief perfectly - subtle, luxurious and elegant.
On the practical side, additional storage was created by adding cabinets to a previously bare wall, which now also accommodates a wine fridge, making this area an ideal spot for a bar or servery.
Drawers were also added to the front of the island. This did away with the previous typical front-facing overhang, and was cleverly replaced with the side overhang supported by the feature curved metallic section, to provide a place to sit at the island. This inspiration is not only practical, it also creates a visually beautiful feature, creating a harmonious balance with the rangehood and feature shelves. The seating plan around the end of the island also makes for a much more convivial way to sit, dine and converse.
Handle-less cabinetry, pull-out bins and shelves, inner-drawers, dedicated areas for tech items such as USB charging, modem housing, etc., as well as an appliance cabinet accessed with bi-fold doors, all add to the functionality.
The Fisher & Paykel fully integrated ice-maker fridge and the Miele ovens were great choices to make for a clean look along the appliance wall.
In other areas of the home, clever compact laundries and streamlined wardrobes were also renovated to create a lighter and fresher look.
Beautiful to look at, high-quality, functional and timeless style - that is the signature Nouvelle design.
