The project brief from the clients of this Whale Beach residence saw the essential need for a modern inspired space, which embraced the outdoor surrounds in a subtle and sophisticated manner. As well as offering breakfast seating, this professional couple wanted a sleek, open and inviting area with a central island bar. Both ample storage and bench space was a critical inclusion as well as maintaining light and access to the enveloping views. The heart of this kitchen is the centre island bar which was designed to appear as if floating, using a combination of mirror kickboards and recessed lighting. The bench top is a magnificent 120mm thick Iron Lace Marble which expands across 1.1 by 4m’s, presenting a stunning focal point but also offering storage on both sides. The living space end of the island bar bench-top, extends out and is suspended using steel reinforcement; ideal for a meals area. Zeitgeist Photography
