KITCHEN

Not surprisingly, family life revolves around the kitchen (below & opposite) where Fatema and Mohammed are often kept busy preparing snacks for Yusuf (all pictured). The island is topped in Sparkling White Corian, with feature panels and cabinetry in spotted-gum veneer to add warmth and texture. Black pendants from LAD Group and stools from Janie Collins Interiors complement the black splashback, while a Gessi gooseneck pull-out tap and a Zip Tap were included for added convenience. “Because the kitchen is open-plan and connected to the dining area, we didn’t want the fridge to be visible, so it’s tucked round the side in a galley area with extra storage, which serves as a scullery,” explains Mohammed.
