Bellevue House

 
 

In a modern lifestyle a kitchen is no longer just for cooking, it’s a work space, a social hub & simply an area to connect people.

Considered design was essential in curating this multi-tasking space.

....I love that it looks beautiful but what I love most is that the space actually works & is functional.
— Virginia (Client)
