When this was communicated to the clients, they decided to demolish the rear of the home and rebuild so they could have the rooms they wanted, without compromise. Once the clients were confident with the way Dan Kitchens worked, the rest of the joinery within the home was commissioned. In total, Dan Kitchens Australia designed, built and installed joinery in over 20 rooms.
The laundry shares many of the materials, fittings and features as the kitchen (also includes a tall wine fridge).
Front loading washer and dryer are semi built into the joinery.
The living room.
Within the living room, a low cabinet conceals a retractable tv. The tv is taller than the cabinet so partially retracts into the concrete slab.
The first walk in wardrobe includes a make-up desk and window seat.
Storage space within the first walk in wardrobe.

Space was allocated around the home (including the kitchen) for displaying the client’s many cherished artworks.
