Architecture
Gutted to a brick shell, this century-old-property-turned-eight-
bedroom-boarding-residence enjoys its current incarnation as
an open-plan home thanks to Post Architecture. The centralized
kitchen distinguishes itself from the home’s all-white interior with
three-metre-tall lacquered cabinetry and panelled appliances in
blackened blue. A sliver of white-painted tile in the backsplash pays
homage to the old home’s original charm.
The layout is now well oiled: cooking and prepping functions are
kept tight to one side, the edge defined by a crisp Corian island
with fixtures to match, for an uninterrupted flow of movement
between living and dining functions. Complementing these design
techniques, both bold and efficient, are a cushy bistro-style seating
nook in white millwork and a butler’s pantry, in deep navy, which
stores help-yourself items like coffee and cereal – another move
to keep traffic away from the compact cooking area. POSTARCHI-

panelled appliances in an inky blue.
