A functional laundry with ample storage (& party potential)

The brief from the client was to create a light, bright, functional laundry for their growing family. They didn’t want boring old stark white (they came to the right practice!) yet they wanted to it be a minimalistic contemporary addition to their home.

We built in a wall to create some dynamic movement and to allow us to run floor to ceiling cabinetry along it that houses the vacuum (inc. wall mounted charging point), ironing board, iron, christmas decorations, sports gear, medical stuff and all the other bits of bobs that end up swarming into laundry cupboards!
The base cabinets host a myriad of removable laundry baskets, sorting stations & laundry products. With the overhead cabinet hosting vases and extra glasswear for when they entertain.

As the laundry opens out to both the kitchen & the outdoor entertaining area this space also doubles as a drinks station for house parties/barbies!
The cabinetry unit facing the main door is the perfect place to pour a champagne, after grabbing it from ‘the ice bucket’ (ceramic laundry trough filled with ice) before rejoining the party.

The compressed porcelain panel used for the benchtop gives a sleek profile, whilst not compromising on durability. The low contrast timber veneer compliments the texture of the handmade ceramic tiled splashback
