Client Brief

_MG_6004_2 (Small) This home in Attadale is situated half way up the hill, overlooking the Swan river, with panoramic views out to Perth city, with the kitchen on the first floor, in a very large family room surrounded by a veranda going right around the house, all things about this house are on a large scale, with the architectural style being very traditional colonial with all the fittings.

The clients wanted to match the kitchen the house , large, classic, grand, colonial, with the help of some magazines cut outs they had the basis of an idea, the colour had to be white, with lots of detail, the appliances had already been chosen, an 1100 mm wide colonial stove, with a mix of modern appliances as well, including a microwave, steam oven, standard oven, coffee machine, 2 x dishwashers, a pair of built in fridge’s and 2 x sinks.

The budget was discussed as being liberal, with the acceptance of spending what was required to get the idea right, it was evident from the outset that this would pass $100,000, and the go ahead was given to proceed.

Design Solution

The design process started with locating the many appliances, while the massive stove was the centre piece, most of the other items had to be built in or hidden from view, so as not to distract from the overall theme.

The fridge’s by Liebherr are fully integrated behind the tall doors, one a fridge and the other a freezer, above them sits a TV, which also acts as a monitor for the security camera to see who’s outside.

The coffee machine by Miele, sits behind the Bifold doors in the appliance cabinet, next to the desk section.

_MG_6024 On the island there’s a narrow 450 mm wide integrated Miele dishwasher beside a built in integrated bin, with a Billy Zip boiling/Chilling water filtration system under the sink.

Out of view are the main built in Miele oven, Miele steam oven, Miele microwave, at the end of the fridge cabinets, facing away from the main island, with the other integrated Miele dishwasher beside the Belfast china sink under the window beside the walk in pantry.

The main feature face of the kitchen has the 1100 wide Falcon stove set into the fireplace hood section surrounded by the curved facia and mantel supported on hand carved corbel’s flanked on either side by a pair of our handmade Criss Cross glass doors from our special Bespoke range.

The finish to all the cabinetry is a two pack lacquer finish in Taubmans Whitehouse, and the construction featured on this kitchen is our Bespoke beaded face frame set off with the classic square 101 cut paneled door, recessed back into the frame.

The hardware used is by Blum, and features Tandem drawers with Blumotion soft closing system and the wonderful Blum Clip top hinge.

The benchtops are beautiful Pacific Black granite, with the main tops having a double layered facia and the island featuring a triple layered colonial facia to finish of a great looking island with the tucked in breakfast bar to the front.
