Responding to our client's brief for a fresh, contemporary yet country feel to complement the original features of this Clifton Hill terrace, we worked with the abundant natural light to highlight our use of raw materials. The generous island bench with its American Oak cabinetry and pepperino stone slab bench top is the centrepiece of the open-plan layout. The custom solid timber chopping board is a permanent feature and is intended to age and weather with character over time.
