Kitchen Drop In Sinks Marble Counters Wall Lighting Design Photos and Ideas

Reimagined by architect Lisa Breeze, this compact semidetached brick home in Melbourne was built by the client's granduncle in the 1940s and passed down through generations. While the kitchen was updated to fit a modern lifestyle, the pastel color, gentle curves, and preserved Bakelite handles are a nod to the original era.
Matte black cabinetry balances out the shiny fixtures and marble countertops in this low-key kitchen.
The floors are polished concrete. The architects incorporated locally sourced materials—from the tile to the marble countertops.
The kitchen now opens out to a courtyard and outdoor dining area thanks to large glass doors.
The same theme is carried out in Alan's execution of the kitchen and breakfast area. The same Chinese-inspired armchairs found in the dining room were used, as was the natural Carrara marble. "All the rooms in the apartment are linked by materials and palette," says Alan.
The kitchen is defined by Olympian White Danby marble counters and backsplash by Stone Source. The Tractor stools are by Craig Bassam for BassamFellows.
