Situated in the leafy bayside suburb of Elwood, this brand new townhouse has been designed by Three C Architects. The client was keen to engage a specialist for the kitchen and bathrooms in order to maximise both the design aesthetic as well as functionality in these spaces. Smarter Bathrooms + Kitchens were proud to collaborate with such highly esteemed architects.

The brief for this space was the clients’ desire for an entertainers’ kitchen that incorporates the outdoors as well as the ability to conceal home office utilities and plenty of storage. With a pool running down the opposing side of the house, the owners wanted to have the ability to cook whilst entertaining their friends and family, and to be able to keep an eye on the kids in the pool.

The home has numerous open fireplaces encased in natural brickwork; so the design of the kitchen carries this aesthetic through with a raw brick wall running the length of the kitchen and serving as a backsplash. A butler’s pantry complete with sink provides ample food storage for a busy family, and the American Oak veneer stained dark brown smoothly both conceals the pantry and the home office, as well as providing contrast to the rough brick finish of the back wall.

A standout feature of the space connects the entertaining patio with the kitchen: a piston-hinged servery window. With a seamless stainless steel benchtop finish from indoors to outdoors, the clients’ desire to effortlessly connect the two spaces has been realised.
