1. Alhawa Kitchen / Randwick - Prue Ruscoe photographer

Retaining its original location within the heritage-listed Alhawa home, the kitchen has undergone a thoughtful redesign that seamlessly blends its original features with a contemporary and highly functional layout. Beautiful signature Brooke Aitken Design curve details are featured throughout. The incorporation of hand-stained timber veneer and hand-carved cupboards pays homage to the home's rich history, adding a touch of traditional elegance to the space. The addition of bi-fold windows opening out onto the entertaining deck enhances the kitchen's functionality, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. This seamless transition allows for easy access to the outdoors, making it an ideal space for hosting gatherings and enjoying alfresco dining. Photographer: Prue Ruscoe

5. Harbour Collector Kitchen / Kirribilli - Prue Ruscoe photographer

This kitchen underwent a complete redesign to offer breathtaking Sydney harbour views. By knocking down all walls, the kitchen now seamlessly flows into the dining area and through to the apartment. The centrepiece is a custom-designed Calcutta Vagli marble island that extends into an almost 6-meter-long dining table. Previously isolated from the harbour view, the renovated kitchen now embraces the stunning external backdrop, transforming the apartment into an open and light-filled space, perfect for both daily living and entertaining.

12. Palo Alto Kitchen / California - Jonathon Cohen Photography

Connected to all living and dining spaces, this kitchen has become the hub of the home. The old house walled itself off from the dining room completely, so that was our first point of attack. The house now spins around the kitchen’s axis point, leaving it open to communicate with the main spaces in the home. Our colour-confident clients were totally on board for the multi-colour scheme which brings the grey of the exterior wall shingles in to the house, and contrasts it against the deep green handmade ceramic splashback tiles, adding the perfect pop of colour to pair with the grey and white striped cabinetry.

17. Deco Cottage Kitchen / Rozelle - Prue Ruscoe Photographer

This kitchen space was transformed by raising the new dining room and kitchen onto a mezzanine platform, providing additional head height and a stunning view. An original curved archway that led into the living room provided the inspiration for the repeated curves and includes an extended archway to the dining room, rounded corners on the steps to the mezzanine, and a curved kitchen island. To maintain a light aesthetic in the kitchen, the island features a very thin Corian countertop, supported by a metal structure. A black steel trim along the island's underside and cabinetry edges, along with matching joinery hardware, tapware, and stools, ties in with the black steel door doors that open onto the deck, providing seamless indoor/outdoor living.

22. Beach Scene Kitchen / Bondi - Kata Bayer Photographer

A love of deep green inspired this kitchen design, perfectly complementing the tropical theme influenced by a tall, visible palm tree in the backyard. The rich green cabinetry adds depth, contrasted by thin, light stone countertops for balance. Since our client isn't an avid cook, we omitted the range hood, which allowed us to create a clean, minimalist look, maximising the space in this apartment-sized kitchen. Photographer - Kata Bayer

28. Minimalist Kitchen / Elizabeth Bay - Prue Ruscoe Photography

This kitchen was designed to embody a clean and minimalist aesthetic, following the client's request for an all-white palette. Situated in the heart of an open-plan living and dining area with stunning harbour views, the goal was to create a serene space that complements rather than competes with the scenery. To maximise visual space, cabinetry was crafted to conceal all appliances, including an under-counter fridge hidden beneath the bench. A mirrored backdrop was added to the space to reflect the breathtaking views and light and to create a calm and minimalistic atmosphere for the client. Photographer - Prue Ruscoe

33. Annandale House Kitchen / Annandale _ Ryan Linnegar Photographer

This rundown Victorian residence underwent a major overhaul, retaining only its original facade, stairs, and three front rooms. The kitchen was transformed into a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, by knocking out walls that previously saw the area cut off and segregated from the back of the house. Walls were completely removed to open the kitchen up to a sunken lounge and out to the deck, and pool. The striking Côte D'Azur marble-topped island and matching splashback are the centrepiece of the design, complemented by easy-care marble and dust concrete-look floor tiles from Signorino, creating a beautiful and functional space for the clients and their three children. Elegant white joinery and cabinetry is offset by the wall-side benchtop in Corian Glacier White, while the Qasair range-hood, with its mirrored surround, bounces light around the room.

38. Manly Cottage Sustainable Kitchen / Manly Photographer Gene Ross

Our design goal was to preserve the Australian charm of this cottage while gently infusing it with subtle Japanese-inspired touches already present throughout the property. We unified the living and kitchen spaces with warm birch plywood, which beautifully contrasts with the curved blackbutt timber surrounding the kitchen island. The island isn't just a focal point - it's also functional - with the blackbutt timber cleverly hiding a storage nook that doubles as an aesthetic feature. The open-plan layout enhances the natural flow between the kitchen, living, and dining areas, creating a cosy but spacious environment where the clients can comfortably gather as a family.

42. Ramaley Farrington Kitchen / Woollahra

The key change in this renovation was relocating the kitchen from an internal space to a prime position overlooking the back courtyard. We demolished walls between the facade and courtyard to create an open, light-filled area ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is now the focal point, designed with just two colourways to emphasise texture and contrast, solids and voids. Previously tucked behind a blade wall, the kitchen was opened up to seamlessly integrate with the open-plan living and dining area. It was designed to resemble a beautiful piece of furniture, featuring a decorative face design on the overhead cupboards carved into the MDF and sitting adjacent to the aged bronze rangehood cover.

45. Apartment Kitchen / Barangaroo - Ryan Linnegar Photographer

The kitchen is the heart and centrepiece of this apartment, so we ensured it was clean, minimal, and calm. Shades of grey were used to create a cool and serene palette, to enhance the sense of space. We maximised storage through integrated joinery, keeping the design sleek and uncluttered. On a clear day, the kitchen offers stunning views that extend as far as the Blue Mountains, making it a truly special place to gather with company or enjoy the view in solitude.

49. Apartment Kitchen / Barangaroo

The kitchen is the heart and centrepiece of this apartment, so we ensured it was clean, minimal, and calm. Shades of grey were used to create a cool and serene palette, to enhance the sense of space. We maximised storage through integrated joinery, keeping the design sleek and uncluttered.

51. Crown St Minimalist Kitchen - Kat Lu Photographer

To maximise light in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, we relocated the original bathroom away from the windows, allowing natural light to flood the space. A backlit timber batten screen, influenced by Japanese design, adds warmth while cleverly concealing much-needed storage. The black kitchen, providing a striking contrast to the light-filled apartment and offering a unique departure from the norm, creates harmony in the space by tying together the black-framed doors and overhead lighting.
