Broadhurst Kitchen RefurbishmentThe third project I worked on during the Internship period was a refurbishment of a kitchen in Broadhurst. I was inspired by the client’s garden , in terms of nature. The dark wood combination with light wood and white countertops gives it a natural look that adds warmth to the space. I worked on the mood board, plan and 3Ds.
