At LA Smith Studio, this project exemplifies our diversity to deliver a handcrafted Kitchen that has met our clients brief, and all just from a photo! This was truly something special; Unique to Australian design but still required extraordinary craftmanship; this kitchen exudes the our capability and experience to be able to deliver.  

About this project

This project began with a simple yet ambitious brief: replicate a kitchen the client loved from a reference image. What followed was the meticulous recreation of an authentic American-style kitchen, delivered with precision and craftmanship.

Mastering the Art of American Character

The design was inspired by a traditionally American Home, with several materials sourced directly from the United States to ensure authenticity and attention to detail. The cabinetry feature a considered combination of solid American Oak and Vic Ash timber, carefully selected and custom-stained to match original protype.

One of the key challenges was achieving the precise light green finish. This was accomplished through application of a solid colour, followed by a tinted brown hand-brushed topcoat finish. The process required a single artisan to complete the application to maintain colour consistency and achieve the desired natural, time-worn appearance.

Signature elements such as the natural quartzite benchtops, custom-made capping moulds, and hand-turned timber legs reinforce the classic American aesthetic and craftmanship synonymous with this style of kitchen.

From Inspiration to Exceptional Reality

This project showcases our ability to transform inspiration into reality. Starting from a single image, we delivered a fully bespoke kitchen that not only met the client’s brief but exceeded expectations-combining unique Australian design sensibilities with exceptional craftsmanship and international influence.
