THE WINNER

Leanne Larking Quattro Uno

THE DESIGN

Part of a larger renovation, the concept for this kitchen sought to simplify the design and maximise the use of space while complementing the existing features of the home. Two bordering walls of cabinetry were built in and a central island was created to visually support the weight of a custom-made rangehood designed to bring a sense of intimacy to the generous space.

Dark ash veneer and a stone benchtop combine to create a subtle complexity that’s enduring and timeless. The powder-coat finishes of the rangehood and central pivot door give a subtle sophistication, with a fine metallic mixed through the charcoal base.

Lighting is used extensively too, illuminating the island and rangehood and the perimeter of the cabinetry. Doors and drawers that open and activate understated lighting highlight the quality finishes and inserts throughout. •
