A Tale of Two Kitchens

In crafting their dream home, the homeowners envisioned not one but two distinct kitchens. One serves as a functional yet elegant showpiece, while the other is dedicated to preparing authentic Chinese cuisine, requiring robust ventilation. This dual kitchen design beautifully balances the homeowners' passion for cooking with the need for elegant spaces, creating a home that truly reflects their lifestyle and culinary interests.

DUAL KITCHEN CONCEPT

The design features two kitchens: one for elegant, everyday use and entertaining, and a concealed kitchen dedicated to messier, smokier cooking tasks. This setup ensures each kitchen serves its unique purpose without compromising on beauty or functionality.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

The kitchen combines natural stone, timber, and metalwork to create a refined and contemporary space. Sophisticated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances are integrated into the cabinetry, detailed and finished to an impeccable standard, producing a sleek look.

CULTURALLY-INSPIRED DESIGN

Understanding the homeowners' cultural background and cooking practices was key. The concealed kitchen includes powerful ventilation, essential for the type of Chinese cooking the homeowners are passionate about, while both kitchens support a seamless workflow.

EXACTING STANDARDS

For these meticulous homeowners, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances were their only consideration. Perfectly aligning with the homeowners’ uncompromising vision, these appliances elevate both kitchens, providing high performance and seamless integration into the sophisticated design.
