West Coast practical elegance
Through the front double entry doors the home unfolds internally to present a large entry foyer from which the communal areas radiate. The dining room is at the front of the home over the garage with the study on the other side of the entry. Behind the dining room is the kitchen, which is worthy of a closer look. This a well thought out kitchen where the design ideas were in the main lead by the client - who loves to cook.
A breakfast bar framed in white stone faces the entry foyer and contains an additional sink. Immediately behind are the cooking appliances of hotplate, oven and microwave with plenty of cupboards and overheads. The cooking area is well located to the breakfast bar and dining room. Further away is the food preparation area with refrigerator nearby, and out of site behind the wall containing the 'fridge is a large pantry. The pantry is close to the garage, which is important if you are going to bring in large quantities of food. And the food prep and dishwashing zone overlook the swimming pool and secondary cooking area in the alfresco. Even the busiest of chefs can keep an eye on the children from this kitchen.
