A New Horizon in Marble & Oak
A new horizon in Marble and Oak
We created a beautiful bespoke, functional kitchen and entertaining space which enabled the client to appreciate the impressive views from their elevated section. The original architect plans did not allow for this. It showed a generic scullery and Island design which was windowless and didn’t appreciate the clients stunning views which we managed to turn around.
A tale of two heights.
Our clients for this stunning Marble & Oak kitchen were two extreme ends in height. To accommodate their needs, the back bench was dropped to 830mm for the passionate baker and this gave her the perfect height. All the small appliances and baking goods were concealed behind two large sliding splash backs. The taller other half was the entertainer so a cool drawer and an abundance of higher cupboards were designed to meet his requirements. The island was also created at a greater height to allow him dishwashing duties without the back ache.
The detail.
We wanted to enhance the length of this kitchen so designed a back wall of horizontal oak slats with a negative detail between each. Long over cupboards and drawers accentuated the length. We concealed the fridge behind a return nib wall, still very accessible but completely out of the main view. The oak slats continued onto the Island, behind the slats we created a veined marble print. This was backlit and seen through the negative detail. The veined marble carried through behind the sliding door glass.
