Home to a busy family of 5, this kitchen renovation needed to be functional, practical and in harmony with the aesthetic of the home it lies within, a 175 year old historical delight.
Cabinetry
Farquhar shaker style Barossa profile cabinetry, paired with white bevelled edge subway tiles and pendant lighting hanging from the impressively high ceiling above the island all embrace the Hamptons style that Justine so admires.
Light and Bright
The kitchen has only one modest sized window, however the space still holds that airy and bright aesthetic typical of the Hamptons – achieved by predominantly white cabinetry, a mirror splashback, carefully placed lighting, and a pass window opening up to a glassed in porch that is full of warmth.
Sink Stations
A must have for Justine was the double bowl butlers sink. This is in contrast to the second sink in the kitchen, a chrome single bowl, which creates another key and much loved feature of the space. Justine says ‘Two sinks is just gold’ for a family, ‘You’re at the sink together in the kitchen all the time, especially when you’re getting dinner ready and everyone’s preparing things’.
Form & Function
The family finds that the space works perfectly for them. While most meals are eaten in the dining room, the kitchen still gets a good work out with counter breakfasts and relaxing together around the island bench with guests. Plenty of bench space, room to move and serve out of the way of the main cooking area, and multiple thoroughfares were key.
Fit for Family
For a busy and social family it’s the perfect fit. ‘We always seem to have a house full of kids and boarders and sandy footed people’ Justine says, ‘Everyone always says that the kitchen is the heart of the house, and it absolutely is, everything ends up around our island bench’.
"The Farquhar designers’ understanding of the holy trinity of kitchen design, and where that needed to be and what have you was brilliant" says Justine, "For the ability to make a space that is both functional and beautiful".
