HIA Australian Kitchen Design

2025 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards

Winner: Birdblack Design

Inspired by the rhythm of the ocean, this breathtaking kitchen is a masterful blend of form and function. At its heart, a sculptural island bench mirrors the elegant curves of a boat's hull, finished in a striking copper liquid metal that shifts from dark to light. The marble flooring and seamlessly integrated benchtops bring a harmonious flow to the space, while a discreet wet kitchen and micro cement splashback ensure practicality without disrupting the serene aesthetic. Designed with intention, the result is both dramatic and restrained. Judges praised its cohesive materiality, expert craftsmanship, and clever balance of simplicity and statement.
