Of all the rooms in the house, it’s the kitchen where the job description has expanded the most.
Part food preparation and service area, in many homes it also serves as a homework hub, home office and the key point of supervision and activity. Add to that its position in open plan design and it’s an extraordinary amount of pressure to put on one room to perform.

The choice of appliances, then, is critical.
In this apartment in Melbourne’s desirable St Kilda, Wolveridge Architects have designed an open plan space that is as efficient as it is beautiful. Taking its design cues from the 1980s tower from the Parkside Apartment’s exterior architecture, custom designed joinery allows the spaces to flow seamlessly from living to kitchen, offering the perfect transition for entertaining guests as the action moves from the kitchen to the dining space and even onto the balcony.

Inclusions such as the integrated Fisher & Paykel Column Freezer and Column Refrigerator designed into the cabinetry allow the living, dining and kitchen space to be read as one quietly elegant space ideal for intimate evenings at home, as well as hosting family and friends.

The decision to specify induction cooktops was a deliberate nod towards futureproofing the space as we move towards fossil-fuel free goals. A blueprint for how well adaptive reuse can be executed, this hardworking apartment now exudes an air of effortless luxury ideally suited for 21st century living.

The new residential tower has officially opened sales from Level 9, offering one, two and three-bedroom residences priced from $560,000, with move-in slated for late 2026.
What sets The Maybelle apart is its position. Residents on higher floors will wake up to sweeping city skyline and Harbour Bridge views.
The building overlooks the leafy calm of Ismay Reserve, giving owners the rare combination of a genuine outlook and a sense of green space, without compromising on either.
Location is doing plenty of the heavy lifting, too.
The Maybelle sits moments from the popular Homebush dining and lifestyle precinct, and is well connected to Strathfield, Sydney Olympic Park and the Sydney CBD, making it a strong option for buyers who want city access without giving up a slower pace at home.
For buyers considering their options in Sydney’s inner west, the appeal is straightforward: a genuine outlook, a connected address and an entry price that remains competitive for the location.
