Hoppers Crossing Kitchen

Client Brief 

Our clients along with their adult children and extended family, needed a kitchen that could keep up with a busy, social household. The space had to handle frequent hosting, offer significantly more storage, and eliminate awkward, impractical layouts. They also had a very clear aesthetic in mind, something bold, character-filled, and completely different from a standard kitchen. 

Palette

The design leans into a distinctive steampunk with a gothic garden twist aesthetic. Deep green Polytec Botanic cabinetry forms the base, paired with matte black fixtures and brushed gold accents for contrast and warmth. Copper tones within the splashback and display cabinetry add depth and richness, while the shaker profile softens the overall look with a subtle traditional influence. The result is moody, layered, and full of personality balanced carefully so it feels curated rather than overwhelming. 

Function

The original kitchen lacked storage and usability, with all cabinetry requiring bending and reaching unsustainable for a growing household. The redesign introduced smart storage solutions, including a magic corner system, a fully functional pantry with internal bench space, and additional island storage facing the dining area. Key zones like the fridge, pantry, and coffee station were reworked to improve flow and allow multiple users to comfortably move through the space. Dedicated display areas were also incorporated to reflect the family’s creative lifestyle. 

Product

The kitchen features Polytec Botanic cabinetry in a shaker profile, paired with a Corian benchtop in Stonique finish for durability and a seamless look. Phoenix Nostalgia tapware in matte black, including a pot filler, reinforces the traditional-meets-industrial aesthetic. A 5000 Series double bowl sink adds practicality, while LED strip lighting, downlights, and pendants provide layered illumination for both task and ambience. The tiled splashback introduces warmth through subtle copper tones, tying the entire palette together. Integrated mechanisms, including the magic corner system and custom storage solutions, ensure the kitchen is as functional as it is visually striking.
