Andrea Michaelson Design Corp. transformed this kitchen through a complete remodel while respecting the layout that the client had come to appreciate over time. Having previously completed the rest of the home four years earlier, the studio was later commissioned to redesign the kitchen after the client decided it was time for a full renovation. Rather than altering the established floor plan, the design focused on elevating the space through carefully considered material selections and refined architectural interventions that preserved the existing flow.

A key element of the project was opening up the steel window facing the garden, creating a stronger connection between the interior and the landscape beyond. While one exterior window wall was modified to maximise the view, the original Paul Williams steel windows throughout the remainder of the room were retained. This thoughtful balance of preservation and enhancement allows the garden to become a defining feature of the space.

The kitchen combines bespoke craftsmanship with carefully selected international products. A striking freestanding marble sink, created by Lando, sits on custom sawhorse legs and was designed to slide seamlessly into the side open shelving, creating an open garage area. The sink is fabricated within an impressive 8 inch thick marble integrated sink counter, demonstrating exceptional custom fabrication while showcasing internationally sourced design within the home.

The original island and cooktop were retained in line with the client’s wishes, while a flush L’Atelier Paris cooktop was selected so the burners sat level with the work surface, creating a cleaner appearance. Bright metal cabinetry is paired with copper flush pulls, while the upper cabinetry within the butler’s pantry features a bronze finish with bronze mesh inserted into the glass to provide subtle visual screening. Together, these carefully considered details create a refined kitchen that reflects the client’s vision while celebrating craftsmanship and materiality.
