WAHROONGA HOUSE

Introducing mid-century Palm Springs to modern-day Sydney, the ingredients in this kitchen make for a delicious visual and tactile feast rendered in hues that riff off the native plants outside. Softening the solid, sculptural forms of the key pieces, rounded edges are described in multiple elements, including the island, pendant light, dining table and tall cabinet. Beneath triangular metal beams that reference the classic clean lines of this design era, the mosaic tiles of the island provide a sensory experience for curious fingertips that’s echoed in the terracotta underfoot.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT In this room, the irregularities of the tiled island and floor are a striking textural contrast to the streamlined cabinetry and smooth table and chairs. We’re used to seeing straight lines in a kitchen, but the island in particular bucks this trend, while proving lines and curves play well together — homeware accessories included.
