Kitchen Renovations On The Mornington Peninsula

We design kitchens that feel like home amongst the backdrop of the Mornington Peninsula; calm, bright, and convenient. Our years of experience have helped us understand how locals, retirees or weekenders live, and we consider that when designing kitchens. We also understand the mild weather, extreme heat and wind conditions the Mornington Peninsula offers and build accordingly- because fitting to the environment is key.

We also consider the local rules and realities, such as bushfire overlays in bush pockets, design controls near the coast, etc. We consider all these early and thereafter design accordingly, so that the approvals are seamless and the result is a kitchen you love cooking in.

Why Renovate Your Kitchen?

A more efficient and convenient kitchen can make your life easier. The Mornington Peninsula has many homes that were built or expanded between the 1950s and 1980s (think beach houses or holiday homes turned into permanent homes), so the layouts might not be aligned with the modern lifestyle. A kitchen renovation can help you open up plans, improve light and air flow, and connect the kitchen with the outdoor spaces.

With summer highs reaching only 25°C and the area surrounded by water, the winters are milder. However, the lack of an open layout makes older kitchens less convenient. We can address this by creating and delivering kitchen renovations that make the kitchen more comfortable.

We choose finishes that can handle salt air and sun while handling the overlays that apply to your block. This helps us get the necessary approvals and deliver on time. The goal is simple: a convenient and practical kitchen that matches your lifestyle.

Our Approach to Kitchen Renovations

We start the process by understanding how you cook, gather, and move around the kitchen. Then we shape the plan around your lifestyle, routines and block restrictions. On the Mornington Peninsula, we design with the sea breezes in mind.

We rework various kitchen zones, such as prepping, cooking, cleaning, and social zones, to make the kitchen flow seamlessly. We start with the light flow to ensure maximum natural light can enter your kitchen. This is followed by cross-ventilation, which makes the kitchen more comfortable.

Once the design process is complete, we choose materials perfect for local conditions. For example, we choose moisture-resistant cabinetry, corrosion-resistant hardware, and UV-stable finishes. We also upgraded all the fixtures to make the kitchen efficient. Taking care of all these at the planning stage makes execution easier and timely.

This is a hypothetical example of how we would approach a job to ensure you get the most out of your kitchen. The result is a kitchen that's calm, practical, and made for people on the Mornington Peninsula and their lifestyles.
