In many family homes the evening meal is created whilst homework is being done, kids are de-briefing on their day and balls are being kicked indoors with the faint shrill of “take that outside” heard over the din. Adding a neighbourhood friend that drops by will create even more happy chaos. So the kitchen really does need to work as a space that partners with the rest of the house to make our modern lives function easier, and this Floreat kitchen with a separate kitchen scullery and laundry has done just that!

A feature window was created over the extended sink area to maximize light. White cabinetry and a subtle stone benchtop gave the jarrah floorboards the chance to really shine as one of the heros of this modernized home. The original laundry was extended to include a kitchen scullery. A partial nib wall hides the utility area whilst maintaining an easy workflow between this functional area and the kitchen space.
