ROCK OF AGES
Replacing a dysfunctional galley layout that only had room for one, this smart and supremely functional kitchen is part of an extension to a 1900s Adelaide villa. The original sandstone wall inspired the materials palette, which includes American oak floorboards and oak-veneer pivot doors that lead to a butler’s pantry/laundry and study nook/mud room. “I love that such order and modern convenience has been achieved, yet my absolute favourite element is the oldest – the stone wall,” says designer Mikayla Rose.
