White handleless cabinets create a sleek, streamlined feel in the kitchen. “The owner loves to cook and was spending a lot on appliances, so I trimmed costs by designing the kitchen and getting the builder to install it,” Sunda says. The tubular extractor looks beautifully space age. “It was nice to install something with soft lines that looks more like a feature than an appliance,” she says.


The island top is gently curved. “It looks softer,” Sunda says. “Too many straight lines can look harsh.” She had looked into installing a solid glass top. “Then we worked out we would need about 24 people to carry it up the stairs and a steel in the floor to support the weight, so I went for Corian instead,” she says.
