This issue celebrates the kitchen’s evolution from a utilitarian space to an agenda-setting hub in the home. Our annual Kitchen Compendium feature highlights the role of a statement-making kitchen through projects united by a dedication to form, function, and detail, further explored through our coverage of Salone del Mobile.Milano’s biennial event EuroCucina 2024.
We see this same dedication when it comes to renowned architect John Wardle’s coastal home in Anglesea, Victoria, and Melbourne architect Adam Kane’s retreat in Daylesford, Victoria. At the same time, our My Space series takes us to Framework Studio designer and founder Thomas Geerlings’s Amsterdam home and Handelsmann + Khaw founder and designer Gillian Khaw’s Sydney apartment.
We complete this issue with two countryside homes by New Zealand architecture practice Fearon Hay and English design studio McLaren.Excell, each with kitchens that are not only an expression of the home but an anchor for daily life.
