Marianne Gailer CKD Au, CBD Au (Blue Tea Kitchens)

KBDi Kitchen Designer of the Year NSW

With its metallic blue paint and glittering copper tiles, this kitchen has plenty of show pony features. It’s the elements that aren’t immediately visible, however, that make it a unique design. Refrigeration is carefully concealed within the blue pantry wall, and a hidden butler’s pantry ensures dirty dishes are never a feature. An elevating island bench allows a kitchen table to raise to the height of the benchtops, extending the preparation and milling areas of the kitchen. The judges commended the designer on a unique design solution.
