The Block 2022

A streamline design, bold masculine colour palette, and subtle textures balance beautifully in Omar and Ozs striking kitchen. The dark, tonal scheme has been achieved with the combination of Blackened Legno Chalk joinery, Black Pull handles, Caesarstone® Aluminous Porcelain 12mm splashbacks and Caesarstone® Rugged Concrete countertops.

The galley-style layout of the room allows an easy flow between all the critical touch points of the kitchen. The island bench is the focal point of the design, providing seating for family and guests, a cleaning zone with double sinks and taps, and plenty of extra storage space. Spanning 2.7 metres, it’s also the perfect place to prep food, and is within easy reach of the cooking zone behind which features the cooktop and several cooking appliances. The Bar area which includes wine storage and open shelving is the perfect addition to this entertainers kitchen.

As the winners of the $250,000 of V-ZUG & The Galley appliance prize pack thanks to Winning Appliances, this kitchen offers the very best in cooking innovation. Combining Swiss innovation and sophistication, V-ZUG appliances focus on sustainability as seen in the cooking, warming, extraction, dishwasher, coffee, refrigeration & wine storage appliances that have been included in the boy’s design. Sinks and taps from The Galley complement the rest of the devices, ensuring that everything comes together for a home cook.

Internal accessories such as Häfele Dispensa Pull Out Pantries, Inner Drawers and Cutlery Trays have been thoughtfully used throughout the design. ICAD Joinery Warm Strip lighting has been used along splashbacks adding warmth to the room, while ensuring that usability is key.

Mirroring the sleek, modern colour palette of their main kitchen, Omar and Oz have created a butlers pantry that is full of style and storage. A large sink and tip sit below a large window that overlooks the outdoors, bringing in plenty of natural light. An integrated dishwasher and Ninka Bin have been placed next to them, producing an effective cleaning zone within the room, while additional fresh produce storage is available due to the inclusion of a Ilve fridge.

Storage abounds with the inclusion of two impressive Häfele Mio Pull Out Pantries, which feature separate usable drawers that extend completely out of the unit for optimum functionality, providing the perfect place to store pantry staples. 2020 Black Alumin Frame Shelves with Broadline Glass allow the natural light in while creating an area for styling focal points.
