Kitchen of the Year

This breathtaking kitchen showcases expert craftsmanship, refined materiality and a strong connection to its landscape. A standout feature is the extensive use of Australian and salvaged recycled timbers, paired with high-spec fixtures and richly veined stone. The joinery is meticulously detailed, integrating seamlessly with the architectural language of the home. Built for an architect-owner with exacting standards, the execution meets the same level of quality seen throughout the wider renovation. The kitchen island extends into a custom dining table, reinforcing its central role in daily life and entertaining. Ample concealed storage and a mirrored splashback enhance functionality while drawing in light and landscape. A restrained palette of natural materials creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The layout and flow remain intuitive and adaptable, making this a beautifully resolved kitchen that blends precision and personality in equal measure.
