Kitchen distinction up to $25k runner-up

THE WINNER

Chelsey Mathieson Vekart

THE DESIGN

This compact kitchen is part of a multi-use office fit-out. To avoid having a visible join in the main benchtop and to maximise the use of space, a raised stone bar leaner was introduced, running into the bifold windows. The extra depth of the sink area was used for a raised stainless-steel top complete with a panama fitting welded in with accessories for convenience.

A Blum Space Tower was implemented as a pantry/storage system and a concealed small appliance area was cleverly covered by a Häfele Hawa pocket door system. Black mesh cabinetry with internal lighting creates the illusion of space. •
