This project involved a significant structural transformation, with the entire rear of the property opened up to create a large, light-filled living space. The intention was to replace a series of smaller rooms with one expansive open-plan environment that could comfortably accommodate cooking, dining and relaxing.
Large bi-fold doors were introduced across the rear elevation, allowing natural light to flood the interior while creating a seamless connection between the home and garden. The client’s vision was for a bright and welcoming social space where family and guests could gather throughout the day.
A generous island and peninsula with seating were central to the brief, ensuring the kitchen could support both everyday use and informal entertaining. The design also needed to incorporate a dedicated dining area and relaxed living zone without the kitchen overwhelming the overall space.
A light, uplifting colour palette was requested to enhance the sense of openness, along with a display dresser to introduce character and provide a place for decorative pieces and everyday essentials.
