Our client loves entertaining but the space was small, old and very dark. Ventilation was also a major problem. We added a full-length louvre window where the old aluminium window was over sink. The original "U" shaped kitchen then became a galley style creating much more floor space and seating on the island bench for 8-10 which did not exist in the original kitchen. As you can see the new bench provides lots of preparation space, the new space is light, modern and open with a easy relaxed beachie feel.
