Nestled on the shores of Pittwater, this architecturally designed home was in need of an update. The clients came to Dan Kitchens with a desire to add a bar area, move the kitchen out into an adjoining space and build a scullery in the old kitchen area. The project was made all the more challenging by the necessity to conform to the home’s original colour scheme which features plenty of honey coloured timber, warm coloured tiles and white walls. Furthermore to the brief given to Dan Kitchens was the vision to turn this home into an entertainer’s delight, with a more open plan feel and a large island that would serve as a focal point within the space. After a thorough design process with the clients involved at every stage, the end result is what you see presented here.
Light colours and warm timbers feature throughout the kitchen and scullery, illuminating the space and fulfilling the requirement for consistency with the home. A 4m island in engineered calacatta sits prominently in an open room and is made all the more dramatic with angled overhangs at either end. A small, but well appointed scullery with stainless steel benchtop, welded-in sink, dishwasher, refrigerator and numerous storage options completes the kitchen area and stands as a practical space for preparing food while entertaining. At the other end of the open plan room sits a well appointed and sophisticated bar area which matches the style of the kitchen. A showcase of the craftsmanship and design quality that define our work across the Northern Beaches.
The sophisticated bar area is an entertainer’s delight.
Dan Kitchens produced a custom Corian sink with retractable tap that can be hidden away with a lid when not in use.
The entertainers kitchen with feature island and scullery pays homage to the original colour scheme of the home.
The kitchen space was vastly increased by taking over the under-utilised informal dining area.
A 4m long island stands as the focal point of the new kitchen, with ample space for people to mingle around whilst entertaining.
The American Oak panelling to the front of the island conceals hidden drawers.
Directly off the kitchen is the scullery, housed where once the old kitchen stood. A wide sliding door serves to conceal the room when not in use.
A stainless steel benchtop with welded-in sink serves the scullery well as a durable and hygienic space to prepare in.
Wide views of Pittwater through the row of bi-folding doors provides plenty of natural light and a beautiful backdrop to the kitchen.

The reworked layout gives the Pittwater home a much more open and entertainment-focused kitchen zone while preserving the warmth of its original material palette. Moving the kitchen into the adjoining room allowed a four-metre island to become the centre of the space, while the former kitchen was repurposed as a compact but highly functional scullery. The adjoining bar extends the same design language and creates a coherent sequence of spaces for everyday use and entertaining.
For over 40 years, the Dan Kitchens luxury kitchen showroom has brought Scandinavia’s best designs to life. Sydney’s most refined custom kitchens and sophisticated joinery are custom made in the adjoining production complex.
