Nestled in the heart of Devonport is this beautifully renovated 1920s-character bungalow that has had no expense spared.

The homeowners had a desire to create their forever home, complete with a culinary-grade statement kitchen, high-end entertaining zones and bespoke design features.

Designer Michelle worked very closely with the homeowners and their builder to seamlessly bring this exquisite renovation to life.

With no expense spared, the kitchen area was redesigned to meet the needs of modern family living and the delivery of a contemporary design. The original layout was not ideal, with a small U-shaped kitchen and a walkway between the kitchen, with food storage on the opposite wall. Michelle’s new layout brought the pantry into a new galley style, eliminating corners altogether creating flow and functionality for the clients.

The dark finish decided for the kitchen was to connect it with the underlying theme of the rest of the new interior. The combination of stained brushed veneer, bronze metal paint, and plain painted surfaces were used for cabinet finishes. The leathered granite stone tops and splashback were chosen to provide a tactile experience, adding visual impact and beauty.

The addition of Gaggenau appliances and the Fisher and Paykel integrated fridge freezer add outstanding functionality and a modern elegance to this gorgeous kitchen. The connection from kitchen to dining room, or out to the newly landscaped rear garden for alfresco dining is seamless.

Michelle and the team at Kitchens by Design team were also involved with the design of the gorgeous bookshelf, laundry, office, wardrobes and aquarium surround.
