By Poggenpohl
When the developers of a small block of ten luxury apartments in Rose Bay pushed ‘go’ on the design and build they immediately nominated Poggenpohl as their brand of kitchens and laundries.
They had used German-made Poggenpohl on two larger apartment builds previously and recognised the value of the product in their marketing, the quality of the supplied kitchens and the efficiency of the local representative company, Akzente Limited. Having Poggenpohl’s Design Manager, Lara Farmilo work with Paul Brown’s Chloe Lovell-Shannon right from the outset of the design process ensured a perfect integration of the kitchen, scullery and laundry designs into the architectural plans.
Cabinetry and benchtop finishes were selected and built into the marketing material and specifications.
The six apartments were supplied in a combination of dark-oak timber décor and white matt fronts, whilst in the four penthouses, timber veneer was used.
The benchtops are Dekton Sirius – black with a subtle wavy texture – and the islands have ‘waterfalls’ to the floor. The black Blanco sinks and Hans Grohe taps complement the black benchtops. Splashbacks are also Sirius.
In the apartments, Miele appliances are used and in the luxurious penthouses Gaggenau was a natural choice.
All refrigeration is Liebherr and it is fully-integrated, as are the dishwashers and rangehoods, to give a very furniture-like image of the kitchens in the open-plan architecture.
The Poggenpohl cabinetry on the back, cooking, wall has been extended in height to the 2.7-metere-high ceilings. This completes the fully-fitted and integrated look.
LED lighting and timber flooring completes thing for these impressive apartments.
