Elba marble and European oak create stunning, textural contrasts in this contemporary kitchen design beautifully orchestrated by Australian designer Kirstyn Lloyd and her team at Maker + May. The impact is heightened by staging this galley-style kitchen with wall-to-wall black timber, creating an intimate setting that fits the bill of contemporary design. With her careful eye and talent for mixing mediums, Lloyd presents a high-end kitchen with a robust approach to polish and sophistication, all the while maintaining its purpose of tending to the homeowner’s family lifestyle.

Ultimately taking home the second-place award for Contemporary design in the 2017-18 Kitchen Design Contest held by the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove family of appliances, Lloyd’s design showcases the power of subtlety with its expert utilization of Sub-Zero and Wolf products that round out the design with upscale aesthetics and top-of-the-line performance. Here’s how Lloyd’s appliance selection add to the luxury of this design.

Sleek & Stylish Sub-Zero Refrigeration  

Sub-Zero and professional designers have a long lineage of collaboration, understandably since the brand’s line of refrigeration is built to last at least 20 years. In other words, quality designs deserve quality appliances — and Sub-Zero delivers. With as few as three appliances from the name, Lloyd has been able to create a fully functional food and beverage preservation that feels luxe tailored to her client’s household needs.

Installing an all-refrigerator column on the right-hand side of the kitchen and a freezer column to left gives the galley design the pure symmetry it needs to feel cohesive. By matching the panel to the black timber finish, this trio of Sub-Zero appliances creates the illusion of a seamless kitchen while extending the overall neutral theme.

Inside the Sub-Zero column refrigerator awaits premium storage and temperature management with a state-of-the-art magnetic door seal system for optimum cold air preservation. The Sub-Zero Air Purification System operates on 20-minute cycles to “scrub” the air of contaminants that encourage food spoiling, including ethylene, mold, and bacteria. An interior water filter with premium filtration is a nice surprise and the perfect touch for a busy household like Lloyd’s client and her three children.

The Sub-Zero all-freezer column is a brilliant demonstration of advanced food preservation that sets the brand apart from the competition. Precise freezer climates are held to a degree of setpoint and stay there due to the airtight containment from magnetic sealed doors. While fitting for entertainers at heart, the 15.3 cubic-foot freezer capacity with three drawers and shelves plus 10 adjustable bins is equally ideal for busy households.

The Sub-Zero wine storage unit is a strategic and stylish way to exhibit unique collections of vintages in pure style, and in this design, it also works to balance the double wall ovens directly opposite of it. On top of keeping temperatures to a degree setpoint (like its counterparts), dual evaporators provide the flexibility to store different wine profiles at ideal climates, and a UV-resistant panel helps to preserve the profile of wines. Enjoy restocking seasonal favorites with a 146-bottle capacity on 15 wooden racks reinforced with roller-glides that reduce disruptions to bottles that could ruin flavors.

Wolf Cooking Appliances Set the Scene

Purposefully positioned, this Wolf 36-inch gas cooktop anchors adjacent walls and serves as the perfect complement to the kitchen island directly across. The drop-in design is key to keeping clean lines along the eyeline and allowing a custom Damasta Gray marble hood cover above to shine.

But what this cooktop delivers in subtlety, it makes up for in performance. A total of five dual-stack burners provide plenty of space to create a full course meal, and with the ability to reach up to 18,000-BTUs of output, the power to sear, sauté, and simmer like a pro is at your fingertips. Customize this high-end gas cooktop to match, blend, or accent your kitchen space with three knob options in a choice of classic Wolf red, black, or stainless steel.

Focus on Sub-Zero built in wine cellar and column refrigeration

The sleek and stunning visual appeal of the Wolf M Series wall ovens is the perfect accent to the dark timber scheme in this kitchen. The series also features a stainless-steel option for even more versatility in other designs. Regardless of the finish, performance comes standard via Dual VertiCross convection that delivers superior food results faster and more consistently. The secret is a system of parallel heating elements that circulate heat across every plane inside the oven. That means no need to flip or rotate cookware and baking trays — no matter which rack they’re on.

The design plays into the curved oven wall, which lends to the overall capacity in each oven, allowing each oven to provide 5.1 cubic feet of oven space — the largest in Wolf’s lineup of built-in ovens.
