CharleyScandinavian Kitchen, Melbourne

AustraliaThis Australian kitchen by Plot Project Management builds on the simplicity of the Scandinavian aesthetic by mixing quality materials – timber, dolomite, polished concrete – in an unfussy way. The result is a clean-lined space with a focus on materiality. The elements in this kitchen, from the island bench to the open shelves and feature joinery, combine for a furniture-like appeal that works well in an open-plan environment where the kitchen is often connected to the living area. Durable, low-maintenance surfaces are the order of the day because if there’s one thing Australians love, it’s a combination of pretty and practical.
