The Transformation Story
A U-shaped kitchen renovation in a family home, designed around a large window with garden views. The layout incorporates a breakfast bar peninsula, integrated appliances, and custom storage including a built-in unit in the adjoining hallway.
The Brief
This Epping family needed a kitchen that could keep up with them. The existing space was cramped, storage was a constant battle, and there was never enough bench space for meal prep - let alone for the kids to do homework while dinner was being made. The brief was straightforward: a practical family kitchen with room to move. Something that could handle the chaos of weeknight dinners and the demands of weekend entertaining. Epping families cook - and they needed a kitchen that worked as hard as they do.
Kitchen Design & Layout
The U-shaped layout was the key to unlocking this kitchen's potential. By wrapping the cabinetry around three walls, we maximised bench space without expanding the footprint. Every inch was planned - from the generous pantry storage to the strategic placement of the sink at the window for natural light during washing up.
The breakfast bar was designed with the family in mind. It's not just somewhere to grab toast in the morning - it's homework space, a spot for a quick cuppa, and overflow seating when guests come over. The overhang provides comfortable knee room for stools, making it genuinely usable rather than just a nice-to-have.
Stone benchtops run throughout, providing durability for a busy household. The cooktop and sink work zone was positioned for efficient workflow - the kind of practical thinking that makes daily cooking easier.
