Heritage kitchen, modern function

A period home's kitchen rebuilt with deep-green shaker joinery, a marble-look island, restored herringbone parquet and brass pendants under the original high ceilings.

The project

Kew

In a heritage home the kitchen has to look like it belongs. The original windows, ceiling height and cornice stay; the herringbone floor is restored where it survives and matched where it doesn't; and a shaker kitchen goes in in a deep green that sits comfortably with the period detailing — with a modern island, induction and a fully integrated fridge behind it.

What the work involves

  • Careful strip-out around original windows, cornice and ceilings
  • Herringbone parquet restored and patched to match
  • Painted shaker joinery with integrated appliances
  • Marble-look island top and splashback
  • Brass pendant lighting and new electrical throughout

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.
