Transforming an Awkward Kitchen Floor Plan Into a Functional, Beautiful Space.

When our clients came to us, they were struggling with a kitchen that felt disconnected from the rest of the home. Their unusual floor plan - with sharp angles and tight spaces - made it tricky to design a layout that felt both functional and inviting. But with thoughtful planning and the power of 3D rendering, we helped them reimagine the space entirely.
The Brief
Create a new kitchen layout with as much storage as possible
Ensure seamless access to the bedroom and laundry
Square up the back wall to reduce angles and open up the space
Retain plumbing where possible to minimise costs
Remove a couple of non-weight-bearing walls to increase flow
Incorporate a large island bench and maximise drawers
Provide guidance on colours and materials (yet to be selected)
The design solution, we began by levelling out and squaring the back wall of the kitchen. This not only eliminated awkward angles but created a more balanced footprint for cabinetry and appliances. Removing two non-weight-bearing walls opened the space to adjoining areas, improving flow between key parts of the home.
Storage was a major priority, so we included a generous island bench with deep drawers for easy access and organisation. The result?
A kitchen that feels open, practical, and ready for entertaining.
3D rendering was invaluable for this project. It allowed the clients to visualise how their new kitchen would look and function within the existing footprint - giving them confidence in design decisions before construction began. It’s a great way to test ideas visually and avoid costly surprises down the track.
