bruce : renovation

 The project involved several complexities associated with the existing home, including an awkward angular floor plan, structural walls within the existing kitchen layout and body corporate imposed colour palette constraints. 

The highlight of this renovation is the new kitchen. The angular floor plan of the original kitchen was cleverly addressed by incorporating a triangular island bench, maximising usable space, creating better circulation and connection to the adjoining dining and lounge areas. This unique feature serves as a practical workspace, creates a captivating focal point, and an informal seating area, intentionally located to take advantage of the views. The body corporate mandated window colour, while limiting the palette, inspired a warm, soft and inherently inviting aesthetic in both material colour and finish selections. Durable and high-quality polyurethane finish in a warm white was used for cabinetry, while timber-look overhead cupboards echo the tones of the timber flooring.  The earthy finish and tones of the selected limestone benchtops, provides unique character and a luxurious and timeless appeal. Integration of the fridge and dishwasher contributes to a clean, cohesive look. The bespoke triangular island bench features soft curved edges, make the island a striking focal point, enhancing both functionality and beauty of the kitchen.
