to create an open-plan layout, Maryann
knocked down a wall along the entrance
corridorand replaced it with a curved
half-wallclad in fluted MDF. this sculptural
elementdoubles as tall kitchen joinery
housingthe fridge,pantry, coffee station
and appliance cupboard.“the curved wall
creates drama and sets the tone for the
entire space,” says Maryann. she kept
thecolour scheme simple, opting for black
andwhite cabinetry(Dulux Black caviar
and Dulux Wairakei Quarter) with a
mid-tonegrey stone splashback (super
WhiteDolomite) and white caesarstone
benchtops. a tall, sliding glass-fronted door
leadsto a butler’s pantry featuring a cabinet
for displaying ceramics and heirlooms.

Hunt and Design; huntanddesign.com.au.✚The fluted wall (MDF with a
cove routing treatment) adds
aluxurious sense of texture
to the space, working in well
with the dark herringbone floor.✚The tall glass and metal door is
athing of beauty in itself, but it
slides open to reveal a butler’s
pantry offering a second sink,
wine fridge and general storage.
