Gatti Design Project 1

This awe-inspiring kitchen by Gatti Design creates a space where the whole family can come together. This renovation project draws inspiration from a Hamptons-style home, while working to the classical Australian architecture of the existing Queenslander house.

The open layout and ample windows allow for cross ventilation and cooling with limited use of air-conditioning. Great care was taken to reduce the kitchen’s environmental impact with the installation of solar panels and waste reducing food storage, and the use of natural materials where possible.

This stylish yet functional Hamptons design combines a classical aesthetic with modern features, including an expansive island bench, a neat breakfast nook, a spacious butler’s pantry, heating and cooling drawers, and three separate sink stations.

Functionality is key, and although Gatti Design’s open-plan design and multiple windows connect this kitchen to both the rest of the home and the exterior, each section is clearly defined in its purpose.

The contrast of light and dark cabinetry offers contrast between the butler’s pantry and the main kitchen, and the use of soft light colours in the primary space ensures the custom Caesarstone benchtops and marble tiles to stand out. Storage and appliances are neatly zoned for ease of access and offer a range of hidden features, including drawers, recessed shelves, towel racks and knife blocks.

The appliances were hand-picked by the homeowners for both their design and performance. The Wolf induction cooktop and integrated rangehood form an elegant feature wall, while the Sub-Zero fridges blend perfectly into the classical shaker style panelling. The central island bench – complete with inbuilt bar fridge – acts as a bridge between the dining and cooking areas, as well providing additional storage and workspace. The pair of crystal chandeliers above the bench add a touch of glamour to the room without distracting from the careful detailing and layering of elements throughout.

A final detail of this impressive Hamptons design is the double hung windows over the kitchen bench, which open completely to the exterior deck and allow a seamless transition to the outdoor area.
