In this challenging renovation, Premier Kitchens was given the difficult task of bringing a Mosman kitchen forward by four decades, bringing it in line with the rest of the home’s interior updates. Although the kitchen was beautifully preserved, it needed a serious upgrade and change to the structural layout of the space.
The first step was to swap out an existing kitchen table in order to include a sizeable island where the entire family – including children and grandchildren – could gather while still being a workable space. Premier Kitchens achieved this by installing a multi-level Guilia marble table, offering a space for eating and working as well as storage.
The same stunning Guilia marble was also used to form the perimeter counters and partial splashback, creating a dramatic design statement that is both modern and in keeping with the heritage elegance of the home.
An additional period touch comes in the form of the reeded glass window that serves as the splashback behind the cooktop. Pairing nicely with the marble, the glass allows additional light to flow through and brings in more of the greenery from outside.
While the room isn’t considered open plan in the modern sense, the reeded glass splashback paired with large windows overlooking the lush garden give the space plenty of breathing room. No matter the time of year, this light-filled arena will provide the family with a sense of warmth, making it a pleasant space to come together.
