Inside this duplex, a clean, minimalist kitchen layout finished in black shows how a dual occupancy home can feel just as considered and high end as a standalone custom build. CKS Projects, custom home builder for Wollongong and the Illawarra, designs kitchens with simple, uncluttered lines, integrated appliances and streamlined cabinetry to keep the space functional for everyday living while still making a strong visual statement.
Black finish kitchens are a growing preference among clients across Shellharbour, Kiama and Corrimal, particularly in duplex and dual occupancy builds where a compact footprint benefits from a considered, cohesive material palette. Achieving this look well requires close coordination between architectural design, joinery and lighting design, balancing dark cabinetry with natural light, benchtop selection and ventilation so the space still feels open rather than closed in.
