Kitchen & Laundry Renovation in Sydney, Australia. Architect: Sarah Blacker | Builder: Liebke Projects | Photography: Anneke Hill

Single family villa

All utility cabinetry is painted in Little Greene Pompeian Ash 293 with matching shaker doors and antique brass Corston Kilburn knobs. A Franke Sirius sink in Polar White is paired with a Franke Eos Neo pull-down tap in black, set into Horizon Stone Alaska White polished worktops. Miele washing machine and tumble dryer are integrated within tall housing, while open shelving and hanging rail space provide additional practical storage within a compact, coordinated layout.

The laundry has been completely replaced with this fresh, clean and functional laundry.. This image shows the pull out bench extension pushed back when not in use

We designed this bespoke traditional laundry for a client with a very long wish list! 1) Seperate laundry baskets for whites, darks, colours, bedding, dusters, and delicates/woolens. 2) Seperate baskets for clean washing for each family member. 3) Large washing machine and dryer. 4) Drying area. 5) Lots and LOTS of storage with a place for everything. 6) Everything that isn't pretty kept out of sight.

This laundry is a space savers dream! Machines stacked nicely with enough room to store whatever you need above (like that washing basket that just doesn't really GO anywhere). Fitted neatly is the laundry trough with a simple tap. The black tiles really do make the space it's own. Who said laundries had to be boring?

Built on the beautiful Nepean River in Penrith overlooking the Blue Mountains. Capturing the water and mountain views were imperative as well as achieving a design that catered for the hot summers and cold winters in Western Sydney. Before we could embark on design, pre-lodgement meetings were held with the head of planning to discuss all the environmental constraints surrounding the property. The biggest issue was potential flooding. Engineering flood reports were prepared prior to designing so we could design the correct floor levels to avoid the property from future flood waters. The design was created to capture as much of the winter sun as possible and blocking majority of the summer sun. This is an entertainer's home, with large easy flowing living spaces to provide the occupants with a certain casualness about the space but when you look in detail you will see the sophistication and quality finishes the owner was wanting to achieve. ​

A combination of bricks, cement sheet, copper and Colorbond combine harmoniously to produce a striking street appeal. Internally the layout follows the client's brief to maintain a level of privacy for multiple family members while also taking advantage of the view and north facing orientation. The level of detail and finish is exceptional throughout the home with the added complexity of incorporating building materials sourced from overseas.
