Darlinghurst custom kitchen with timber-look joinery and stone splashback

Compact-home joinery transformation in Darlinghurst with a custom kitchen, hidden servery, Murphy bed, concealed laundry and built-in storage.

This Darlinghurst project shows how much can be resolved in a compact inner-city footprint when the joinery is planned properly. The rooms needed to work hard without feeling overcrowded, so the cabinetry had to carry storage, concealment and visual calm at the same time.

Materials, finishes and key details

How each room or storage zone was resolved.

Kitchen & hidden servery

The kitchen anchors the project, but the hidden servery and pantry make it work. Together they provide a stronger balance of showpiece joinery and practical back-of-house storage.

Murphy bed

The Murphy bed turns a compact room into a flexible space that can work for guests, study or everyday living without surrendering storage or floor area.

Hidden laundry

Stacked appliances, concealed shelving and pocketing doors let the laundry disappear cleanly when not in use — a major win in a compact apartment.

Wall cladding & pivot doors

Boston Oak Polytec Chifley cladding runs the full length of the hallway and wraps into key zones throughout the apartment. Pivot doors match the cladding finish exactly, reading as part of the wall surface rather than separate door leaves.

Vanity & wardrobe

Supporting joinery in the bathroom and bedroom kept the apartment fitout feeling complete, not limited to the kitchen alone.

How the finished project improved storage, flow and finish quality.
