We were approached by the clients Interior Designer to help make the kitchen in their modest apartment feel more modern, light and a lot more functional.

Replace existing kitchen, whilst maintaining the current footprint.  

$25 – $30k

Make it more modern and light feeling, be complementary to the adjacent dining space.

Have more practical drawer space, better overhead storage and a practical pantry that was easy to use.

The client was not looking to re-do the flooring – so needed to concentrate on keeping the same footprint.  Neither the client nor the Interior Designer had ever undertaken a major joinery renovation, so both of them were very uncertain of the process and what steps went where.

Being an apartment complex there was also Body Corporate worries – would they restrict any of the clients hopes in regards to design.

Keeping the parquetry footprint whilst installing modern sized cabinetry and benchtop depths. There was also a need to retain existing bulkhead and dropped ceiling – as it contained plumbing and air-conditioning ducting that serviced both our clients apartment and the floor above.

Much improved and functional storage.  Better usable bench-space.  And a lighter area overall, which our client loves – “a better kitchen to enjoy working in”.
