Stark Design

Stark Design Pty Ltd has delivered a refined and deeply personalised interior design project that celebrates both sophisticated utility and luxury. At the heart of the home is a meticulously designed kitchen, created to support everything from everyday cooking to large scale catered events. The design balances practicality with visual elegance, featuring expansive work surfaces and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor areas that makes entertaining effortless in the temperate Australian climate.

Stark Design Pty Ltd emphasised material richness throughout the kitchen, using bespoke hand painted and walnut cabinetry paired with Tempest Quartzite marble countertops. An organically shaped island, finished with bronze accents and illuminated by a crystal pendant, serves as both a functional centrepiece and a statement of sculptural design. The inclusion of both induction and gas cooktops offers flexibility for diverse cooking needs, while a discreet butler’s pantry provides additional storage and utility without compromising the clean layout.

The space is further defined by a curved ceiling that echoes the island’s shape, enhancing spatial flow and adding architectural interest. French doors open to lush garden views, reinforcing the connection to the outdoors and enriching the atmosphere with natural light and tranquillity. This thoughtful approach continues in the adjoining bathrooms, where herringbone marble tiles and slab marble walls create luxurious sanctuaries that reflect the home’s cohesive material language.

Stark Design Pty Ltd incorporated highly bespoke elements, including a custom double vanity with integrated storage, a spa bath designed for wellness, and a polished dressing area tailored for comfort and elegance. From the bronze finished rangehood to polished nickel tapware, every detail contributes to a layered and harmonious environment. The project is a true celebration of tailored design, blending modern comforts with a warm, liveable aesthetic that continues to evolve alongside the client’s vision.
