Minimalist open-plan kitchen

An orange-timber 90s kitchen replaced with a pared-back design: a concrete-look island, oak tall joinery and polished floors looking straight out to the garden.

The project

Glen Waverley

The goal here is less. The new layout moves all storage and appliances into one oak tall-joinery wall, leaving a single large island as the only object in the room. The concrete-look surface and polished floor keep it hard-wearing, and the long view to the garden does the rest.

What the work involves

  • Complete strip-out and re-plan
  • Concrete-look porcelain island and benchtops
  • Oak tall joinery with integrated ovens and fridge
  • Floor grinding and polishing
  • Linear pendant and recessed lighting

Start to finish

Every stage of the build

The parts of a job that decide how it lasts — demolition, framing, services and waterproofing — are the parts you never see once it's finished. Here they are.

  1. Stage 1 of 3

    Before

    The existing room or site, before any work begins.

  2. Stage 2 of 3

    During construction

    Strip-out, structure and services, then fit-out — the stages most clients never see.

  3. Stage 3 of 3

    Completed

    The finished result at handover.

Representative project imagery illustrating the scope and quality Local Tasker Construction can deliver. Final design, material selections and outcomes vary by site, approvals and client requirements.
