SOUTH COOGEE - House
The work side of the kitchen allows you to see the recycled timber bench top which is laid higher than the dark stone bench top. It maintains the industrial feel combined with the look of the rest of the house. The long line of the island bench create enormous work space and an impressive piece of furniture.

Joanna Tovia added this to 10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Going Open Plan
3. What kind of lighting will work best? Lighting can add unexpected costs to renovation budgets, so factor in any extras likely to come your way. Unify your open-plan space by using similar lighting throughout, adding feature lights sparingly to avoid a jumbled effect. These industrial-style pendants are show stoppers in this open-plan home because unobtrusive downlights used in the rest of the space steal none of the limelight.
Jenny Drew added this to Houzz Tour: From Eastern Sydney Demolition Site to Resort-Style Oasis
The industrial-inspired kitchen combines a wooden island with a wooden bartop made from a utility pole. The benchtop is dark composite stone. Parisian-style metallic light fixtures hang above. Benchtop: Essastone in French Black
Jenny Drew added this to The Missing Link That Will Eliminate Budget Blow-Outs
Inclusions Schedules are very good at helping you to understand the real cost of the project at the earliest possible stage, rather than at the end of the project when all of the variations have been added up for items that were missing from the quote. Another big advantage of thorough quotes at the outset is that it eliminates many of the potential areas where, under the contract, builders can charge an additional profit margin (of up to 20 per cent) on top of the cost of the variation.

recessed bench, power points protected by higher section which also prevents objects falling off. hanging lights are nice matt chrome

I like the ridge on the island bench which creates a spot for power plugs
dashdashb added this to Al-Kazily Kitchen
Thick wood counter w/ placement for power is cool -- However, for maintenance, I am thinking not using wood...
