Other Projects by HECTOR ABRAHAMS ARCHITECTS
LYNWOOD
Sydney, Australia
A beautiful Edwardian villa built in 1907, designed by William Nixon, the architect of Australian author Patrick White’s house ‘Highbury’ in Centennial Park.
The setting is Beecroft in Sydney ‐ in the nineteenth century a cool hills retreat. The result – a bright, bold ‘kitchen as furniture’ – designed by architect Hector Abrahams, for a client who loves colour and furniture, and appropriate for the nineteenth century house design.
A jarring glossy 80s kitchen all whites, greys, granite.
Hector Abrahams Architects designed the new kitchen as a liveable family room. The hallmark utilitarian character of the three original service rooms [butlers pantry, kitchen and scullery, which had been combined in the 80s renovation] is evoked by stripping back to original brick walls, exposing 1980s steel beams in the ceiling and making a big bay window seat of steel windows. The room is fitted with specially designed furniture holding all the storage and equipment of a modern kitchen so as to preserve the character of a working furnished room. The antithesis of the ‘fitted’ kitchen, it references history in a positive way. The shady aspect of the room facing east is met by the use of a strong pumpkin colour, complemented with deep blue.
The best thing about the space for the client: ‘Colour is comfortable’.
Other HAA work on the house includes an award‐winning pavilion set in beautiful gardens by Tropic of Sydney.
