The Australian designer Darren James has created a kitchen for a couple that used to have a narrow kitchen, separated from the living room. Never in their wildest dreams could the clients have ever imagined the possibilities that existed for their tired, segregated and completely non-functional kitchen. The remodelling of the entire space not only presented the opportunity to create a kitchen that the owners had only dream of, but one that would reflect the quality of the home.
The new galley style design required access from several directions. Now it is merged with the surrounding living areas as well as offer full view of the beautifully landscaped backyard. The juxtaposition of parallel and perpendicular forms creates a pleasing aesthetic within the room making the most of light and air within the space. At the heart of it all is the large unusual �L shaped� island bench which anchors the utility of the kitchen and provides a solid foundation on which the rest of the room comes to life. Finished with a soft lacquered linear timber veneer, the island bench feature adds a sense of solidity to the room and contrasts perfectly with the block colour grey tones used in the remaining high gloss lacquered cabinetry and tiled floor.
