This modern home is a luxurious family retreat. Natural tones and inspired finishes and fixtures feature throughout in a cohesive design. The grand living and entertainment zone impresses with clean lines, smooth concrete floors, and built-in cabinetry. The kitchen island with its sleek waterfall edge makes an ideal bar.
The family bathroom is a delight, with feature lights and subtle pink basins blending in with earthy tiles. Upstairs in the main suite, a Juliet balcony makes the most of sea views and the ensuite is exquisite, with gorgeous bronzed glass, dark basins, and bespoke cabinetry adding to the allure. This minimalist home shines with an abundance of space, style, and personality.
Nestled in this gorgeous home adorned with light-reclaimed brick cladding, this kitchen effortlessly blends rustic charm with a modern edge. The Aged Ash Melteca cabinets and sleek Caesarstone Snow benchtop create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Behind a discreet bifold door, a concealed bar area awaits, adding an element of surprise. Adjacent windows grace the walls of an airy scullery, bathing the space in natural light and establishing a seamless connection with both the kitchen and the outdoors. The back of the island introduces subtle thin v-groove detailing, contributing texture and visual allure.
Touches of brass and natural materials enhance the kitchen’s aesthetic, striking a harmonious balance between rural charm and contemporary design. Serving as the heart of this beautifully styled home, the kitchen effortlessly captures the essence of a rural lifestyle setting.
In this rural setting, the view is the focal point. The brief was to provide a large space to entertain guests and family while letting the home’s surroundings guide the design of the kitchen, where a cantilevered four-metre island provides a ‘perch’ from which to enjoy the stunning vistas. The use of only three materials – oak, quartzite, and stainless steel – and integrated appliances kept the design minimal to prevent any interruption from the view.
The final touches of soft lighting handles and finishes keep the space warm, practical, and uncluttered.
In collaboration with the interior designers from at.space, The Building Co team and the client, Fluid Interiors undertook this Herne Bay renovation to detail, manufacture and install the high end cabinetry throughout the character villa.
The project encompasses a contemporary design, featuring a palette of natural American Oak veneer, black, warm pinks and greys and deep navy blue throughout.
