Location: Newport house on the Northern Beaches NSW Year: 2023
Avant-garde without being inaccessible, this custom kitchen design in Newport combines three distinct benchtop materials, each with its own character and purpose. CaesarStone Organic White anchors the main run. Neolith Calacatta operates as both benchtop and splashback at the cooking zone, its bold marble-look veining making a genuine design statement. American White Oak brings warmth and tactility to the island, softening what could otherwise be a very sharp kitchen renovation palette.
Dulux Vivid White satin Polyurethane cabinetry sits alongside Polytec Black Wenge, a contrast that is dramatic in theory and completely resolved in practice. Blum hardware and Hafele One2Five bins run throughout. An
Abey QUADRO sink pairs with the Franke Active Plus tap at the main bench, while Miele oven and cooktop, Siemens dishwasher, and the Whispair Monte Carlo 90 rangehood handle the serious cooking.
A Mitsubishi multi-drawer fridge for serious storage. Upcycled French Bistro chairs at the island and three brass Concept Lighting pendants overhead that fi nish this Newport kitchen renovation exactly right. Classic refinement meeting genuine artistic drama.
