Kitchen Designer’s Insights
This kitchen was the winner of the 2014 KBDi Large Kitchen Designer of the Year (SA). Below are notes and observations from the designer, Angela Gianakis from Outside Square.
KItchen Design Overview
This award winning kitchen was designed to accommodate the client’s family needs and takes into full consideration the way in which the client and family work in their routine. “This kitchen is brilliant, we love it!” This comment, “ when I see the client, even months after completion, their feedback continues to bring a smile to my face.
The area is now designed to embrace all the clients ideals providing the clients with a functional and visually stunning area that compliments its beautiful surrounds. The amendments to the plan were submitted to council and approved promptly. Construction work continued in a timely manner.
The ‘multi purpose wall of function’: the area was created to accommodate a concealed access to the laundry and pantry, concealed fridge and freezer, enabled the kitchen to be more centralized to embrace the view into the reserve, provide a better access to the entertaining area, and enable the client to monitor outdoor and indoor play time.
Hidden laundry in kitchen design
The hidden laundry now provides direct access on the same level to the clothesline. Another bonus, the casual bench attached to the island, enables observed homework time, whilst the client does her work “paying the bills”.
Other kitchen design elements
