This week I had the opportunity to grab some images from the refreshing new Kitchen Classics factory and showroom in the Mount Edgecombe business park whilst the sun was out in Durban – we’ve got rain set in for the next week here so it was a good opportunity to get out and shoot a portfolio of architectural projects for Kevin Lloyd architect whilst the weather was good.
The showroom and factory itself is simply spectacular – nice clean lines, simple architecture and open airy spaces. Two massive timber screens on the front facade provide solar shading and reduce the air-conditioning requirements on the interior space. Internally there is a spectacular use of off-shutter concrete, an exposed concrete ceiling and a polished concrete floor offset with polished stainless steel staircase balustrading and the most beautiful array of kitchen units you have ever seen in your life.
Kitchen Classics fabricate bespoke kitchen units for residential properties supplying most of the new kitchens for properties across Mt Edgecombe, Zimbali and other exclusive residential estates. The kitchen units on display in their showroom are jaw-droppingly beautiful – I think this is the kind of utopia where you choose your kitchen and then design your house around that rather than the other way around…
If you’re looking for a new kitchen be sure to pop in here and investigate the goods on display. If you’re not looking for a new kitchen be sure to pop in anyway and just be blown away by what could be possible…
