Kitchen Renovation - Alexandria

When our client engaged us to renovate their kitchen in Alexandria, we knew it had to be special. With a few design iterations, we worked out the best choice of layout and finishes.

Completed Kitchen featuring laminate MR MDF cabinetry finishes, marble benchtops and splashback, island radius and waterfall ends, brass handle-ware, and a mix of LED, pendant, and spot lighting

Here are some key features of the design

• Custom Joinery and Integrated Storage

All cabinetry is custom made, with a mix of Polytec Classic White Matt on the main runs and Polytec Tasmanian Oak grain drawers on the island for contrast. Deep soft‑close drawers, a pull‑out spice and oil cabinet adjacent to the cooktop, and dedicated storage for trays and chopping boards maximise every millimetre of this compact Alexandria kitchen. The kitchen features:

1. A long run of benchtop space accommodating the cooktop and sink

2. Oven and Microwave unit next to the double fridge

3. Bar Unit next to appliances with an integrated wine cooler

4. Wide body island with a radius corner on the overhang and a waterfall end

5. Standalone 4-door pantry unit

6. A mix of cool white LED downlighting and warm white spot and pendant lighting

• Verde Castama Honed Marble

For the design to stand out, we selected the Verde Castama 20mm Honed Marble from Overlook Tile House. Our friends at EMG stones were meticulous in preparing and installing the marble.

This kitchen has a few stone features that stand out:

1. 20mm thickness benchtop to highlight the full body profile of the marble

2. Radius corner and mitred waterfall end on the island

3. Cool white LED downlights to bring out the the veins in the marble

• Brass Handles and Warm Timber Accents

Slimline CORNET brass handles from Kethy run consistently across pantry doors, drawers and integrated bins, tying the different zones together and adding a subtle touch of luxury. Wall cabinets are fitted with the Bargo Brass Knobs - also from Kethy. The timber island joinery and bar stools bring warmth against the green stone and white cabinets, making the kitchen feel connected to the existing timber flooring in the open‑plan living area.

• Lighting and Appliance Layout

A slim linear pendant above the island works with recessed LED downlights and under‑cabinet strip lighting to create layered, functional light for cooking and entertaining. The layout includes a gas cooktop with stone splashback, double wall ovens, integrated dishwasher, French‑door fridge and a built‑in wine fridge, making this Alexandria kitchen ideal for home cooks who love to entertain.
