Award-Recognised Hamptons-Inspired Kitchen

A finalist in the FIAA Awards, this project brought together timeless design, modern functionality, and a brief that was clear from the start: “not all white!”

To meet the client’s desire for a Hamptons-inspired kitchen with warmth and character, we paired classic heritage-profile cabinetry with a striking island in Dulux Klavier, a rich, dark contrast that anchors the space beautifully. The benchtops were carefully chosen to tie the palette together, offering the natural elegance of stone while complementing both the traditional detailing and contemporary layout.

A spacious walk-in pantry provides generous storage, food prep space, a secondary sink and fridge, and supports the flow of the kitchen, especially for a household that loves to entertain. The large island invites connection, allowing children or guests to gather while meals are prepared.

Every element was considered to remain sympathetic to the home’s original architecture, while still delivering a fresh, highly functional kitchen with stunning views, a space the clients absolutely love.
