Wrights Terrace — A 70s Transformation
Cantilever Interiors collaborated with emerging architectural firm, Thomas Winwood Architecture on a custom kitchen design project, in the Melbourne suburb of Prahran. The brief was to transform an uninspired 1970s townhouse into a light-filled, tactile and calm home that gives a subtle nod to Mid-Century style.
The client had a clear vision for the space that included the fine-detailing commonly found in Modernist homes. Having worked with Thomas McKenzie on two previous projects, a close dialogue on detail had been developed and this resulted in resolved joinery that worked seamlessly with the overall design of the house. A project highlight in this kitchen was the American Oak pantry doors.
According to Thomas McKenzie ‘Great joinery is essential to realising a fantastic project. Working with Cantilever is always a collaborative process allowing us to collectively achieve the best outcome. The team understand how to incorporate their experience and knowledge without compromising the intent of the design.’

Calacatta Nuvo Caesarstone benchtops
an exquisitely detailed brass handrail on the staircase
a bespoke timber-lined garage
FSC certified timber, low-VOC paints, double-glazing, LED lighting and energy efficient fixtures and fittings.
robust materials including a slate floor, painted brick walls, timber window frames and Silvertop ash timber lining boards.
