Elegant and minimalist kitchen in classic marble and soft dark tones. The Balmoral House is located within the lower north-shore suburb of Balmoral. The site presents many difficulties being wedged shaped, on the low side of the street, hemmed in by two substantial existing houses and with just half the land area of its neighbours. Where previously the site would have enjoyed the benefits of a sunny rear yard beyond the rear building alignment, this is no longer the case with the yard having been sold-off to the neighbours. Our design process has been about finding amenity where on first appearance there appears to be little. The design stems from the first key observation, that the view to Middle Harbour is better from the lower ground level due to the height of the canopy of a nearby angophora that impedes views from the first floor level. Placing the living areas on the lower ground level allowed us to exploit setback controls to build closer to the rear boundary where oblique views to the key local features of Balmoral Beach and Rocky Point Island are best. This strategy also provided the opportunity to extend these spaces into gardens and terraces to the limits of the site, maximising the sense of space of the 'living domain'. Every part of the site is utilised to create an array of connected interior and exterior spaces The planning then became about ordering these living volumes and garden spaces to maximise access to view and sunlight and to structure these to accommodate an array of social situations for our Client’s young family. At first floor level, the garage and bedrooms are composed in a linear block perpendicular to the street along the south-western to enable glimpses of district views from the street as a gesture to the public realm. Critical to the success of the house is the journey from the street down to the living areas and vice versa. A series of stairways break up the journey while the main glazed central stair is the centrepiece to the house as a light-filled piece of sculpture that hangs above a reflecting pond with pool beyond. The architecture works as a series of stacked interconnected volumes that carefully manoeuvre down the site, wrapping around to establish a secluded light-filled courtyard and terrace area on the north-eastern side. The expression is 'minimalist modern' to avoid visually complicating an already dense set of circumstances. Warm natural materials including off-form concrete, neutral bricks and blackbutt timber imbue the house with a calm quality whilst floor to ceiling glazing and large pivot and stacking doors create light-filled interiors, bringing the garden inside. In the end the design reverses the obvious strategy of an elevated living space with balcony facing the view. Rather, the outcome is a grounded compact family home sculpted around daylight, views to Balmoral and intertwined living and garden spaces that satisfy the social needs of a growing young family.

This project has been the most remarkable Kansas City kitchen design that Design Connection Inc. has had the opportunity to be involved. The client came to us with wanting to raise the roof of an upstairs apartment over their insurance office. It would be doomed at the center and curved down at both ends. The walls would be very tall and the living space would be all in one area. The challenge was make the kitchen and bar area be part of the living space with furniture and still seem spacious. We selected a beautiful natural maple for the cabinets and raised them up high. Our client loved blue pearl for the granite countertops. We raised a glass area above the cook top with steel tubes to put spices when they were cooking. The table was designed to be part of the island and bar stools was perfect for the counter high tops. The refrigerator and freezer drawers were hidden behind wood doors and make the kitchen look seamless. The lighting was truly amazing. We accented under the island with rope lights to create interest and make a separation from floors. The monorail lights went from one part of the room across to the other. The sheet rock was curved to accent light up to the ceiling. Lighting was used throughout the space to create interest and became an architectural feature in the room. This home has stood the test time and is considered classic in design.

The rear wall of the house was bumped out 4 feet to expand the kitchen. New windows bring light in above the countertops, while a large island anchors the space.

When our clients from St Albans came to us with their renovation project, they had a particular vision. They told us they wanted their home to be unique — something no one else would have. They were drawn to a mix of classic and contemporary design but weren't sure how to make it work practically. This project is more than just a kitchen renovation. It also involves renovating the dining, walk-in pantry, general bar area, special whisky room, and utility room. The overall design is an exciting mix of traditional and modern elements. It starts with the cabinetry, a mix of Nobilia Touch kitchens in Slate Grey and Manor Dorchester in-frame kitchens in Off Black. This combination created a unique space with an elegant yet minimalist feel. The worktops are made in 20mm Silestone Calacatta Gold quartz from Algarve, 80mm solid Safari Brasilia wood from Spekva, and Antique Silver Mirror from Southern Counties Glass. The white quartz worktops add brightness to the room, the wood breakfast bar on the island perfectly matches the dining furniture, and the mirror worktops add a touch of luxury. Of course, this renovation would not be complete without all the best and latest appliances from Bora, Blanco, Quooker, and Siemens. Lastly, we added silver chrome cabinet handles and pendant lights to finish the kitchen perfectly. The result is a beautiful mix of classic and contemporary design, with dedicated spaces for entertaining and showcasing our client's collections. We recommend blending classic and contemporary design elements if you're considering renovating your kitchen. It's a great way to add personality to your space without sacrificing function. And if you need help making your vision a reality, we're always here to lend a hand!

This mountain modern cabin outside of Asheville serves as a simple retreat for our clients. They are passionate about fly-fishing, so when they found property with a designated trout stream, it was a natural fit. We developed a design that allows them to experience both views and sounds of the creek and a relaxed style for the cabin - a counterpoint to their full-time residence.
