Kitchen Studio Design Award 2022
Winner - Visual Impact Winner
Designer - Surita Nel - Kitchen Studio North ShoreBrief ‘Simply Stunning’
Issues:
Awkwardly shaped kitchen on angled walls
Kitchen is very small
Layout impractical
Client dislikes angles
Client Brief:
Minimal, simple yet elegant kitchen design (no bland)
Rich design and colour – not white
Didn’t want to overspend as it is a 2nd home
Island is a must
Easy reach design required
Fridge and pantry separated for unpacking groceries simultaneously
Resolution:
The wall between the kitchen and dining was removed. The kitchen was relocated to dining space and vice versa to allow a rectangular kitchen space and free awkward angled walls from furniture.
Kitchen designed to have minimal lines through negative detail design, hidden drawers, and fully integrated appliances.
Deep charcoal colour/timber combination, patterned tile and lighting design provides contrast, interest, and depth to the simple design lines.
Simple design allows for easy reach of all work/task zones.
Fridge and pantry were separated to achieve simultaneous accessibility to space tower pantry and fridge/freezer.
Simple but stunning!
