KITCHEN DRAMA
This large, luxurious and functional kitchen overlooks a central courtyard and there’s plenty to please the eye inside, too. It’s located at the core of a rebuild imbued with age and character, in line with the salvaged Victorian facade of this Melbourne home. The commercial-calibre, stainless-steel island bench, along with a rear work space in marble, set up a highly functional layout for the cooking enthusiast who lives here. Material and visual drama comes in the form of wave-like forms and natural patterns in the stone and timber surfaces. “I always wanted a house that I didn’t need to leave for the weekend, and the kitchen typifies this,” says the owner.
“It is a neverending source of inspiration.”
