Concepts By Gavin Hepper, New South Wales, were named the winner of the 2022 HIA Australian Kitchen Design for a functional family kitchen.
The innovative design provides a low-maintenance family kitchen high on functionality and storage.
Pushing the boundaries of design practicality is the island bench, which appears as one complete solid piece. However, concealed in the thermoformed island is a storage unit on a hydraulic lift. It’s so seamlessly hidden, the benchtop remains stain-resistant, durable and hygienic.
The ocean tones used throughout are subtle but striking, providing a cohesive colour palette. The organic curves and repetition of lines in the island bench fluting and mosaic finger tiles represent the ocean’s ripples and movement.
While the kitchen is inspired by the ocean views and iconic lighthouse, the judges noted the result demonstrates that the concept to execution is near perfection.
