Nestled in this gorgeous home adorned with light-reclaimed brick cladding, this kitchen effortlessly blends rustic charm with a modern edge. The Aged Ash Melteca cabinets and sleek Caesarstone Snow benchtop create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Behind a discreet bifold door, a concealed bar area awaits, adding an element of surprise. Adjacent windows grace the walls of an airy scullery, bathing the space in natural light and establishing a seamless connection with both the kitchen and the outdoors. The back of the island introduces subtle thin v-groove detailing, contributing texture and visual allure.
Touches of brass and natural materials enhance the kitchen’s aesthetic, striking a harmonious balance between rural charm and contemporary design. Serving as the heart of this beautifully styled home, the kitchen effortlessly captures the essence of a rural lifestyle setting.
The inspiration for this kitchen design came from commercial spaces our clients had seen, as well as hotels, bars and restaurants they had visited. The kitchen has modern clean lines and a steel-framed glass scullery. The greenery in the custom-made shelving above the breakfast bar softens the lines of the American oak cabinetry and granite benchtop.
Another special feature is the undercover outdoor area. The cabinetry, cleverly crafted from the home’s rough sawn cedar exterior cladding, blends seamlessly into its surroundings. It neatly conceals a wine fridge, bins, and storage for wine glasses, towels, and rugs.
In this rural setting, the view is the focal point. The brief was to provide a large space to entertain guests and family while letting the home’s surroundings guide the design of the kitchen, where a cantilevered four-metre island provides a ‘perch’ from which to enjoy the stunning vistas. The use of only three materials – oak, quartzite, and stainless steel – and integrated appliances kept the design minimal to prevent any interruption from the view.
The final touches of soft lighting handles and finishes keep the space warm, practical, and uncluttered.
