Oh yeah I see now, thought it might have been a reflection.

Very nice job Snezza. Yes they are bold colours, but thats what makes things more interesting. I'd have suggested the windowsill to be the same as the worktops, but as you say, it's the customers choice at the end of the day and if they love it -

The window cill was the most challenging part of all. You can probably see the 2 mullions of the window in the pictures. They were approx 200 deep X 70 wide with a 45 degree chamfer on the 2 front corners. I had to cut the acrylic to fit between them with the 45 degree chamfer on the ends. I fitted the kitchen last year, but the guy has only just decided to have the panelling done.
There wouldnt have been enough height to fit Encore on the cills, but I hear what you are saying.

I like the panelling, seems like a really cool product.
I have a question that's not relayed to the lustrolite...
In that kitchen you have 4 tall boy units with the last one butted up to the corner. I've never done this before but am currently designing a kitchen where this situation is going to be necessary. Is this some thing that you do often? I always assumed it would be a big no-no but it actually looks really nice on that kitchen.
Those doors are ace as well BTW

Hi Joe,
What the photos dont show are a huge set of folding, sliding patio doors to the LHS of the far LH tall unit. They open out onto a large elevated deck area. I could'nt move the bank of tall units any further to the left because of this. As 2 of the tall units have appliances in them, and the other 2 are 400 wide full height pull-outs, that only left me with 700mm to the corner.
I had a special corner wall unit made that allows access to the corner and the half glazed wall unit butts up against it. The client really wanted the 2 half glazed wall units either side of the window, so this dictated what I could do in the LH corner. As my German wall units come in at 350mm deep + Door as standard, this left me with a corner wall unit door of 330mm wide. Not the most accessible unit, I must admit, but it was a compromise the client was willing to make to get the Glazed units in.
I would normally try to avoid designing a layout that had this type of corner configuration as I think it tends to look a bit "cramped" in the corner but as I said, the client was happy to do it. It does look better now the wall panelling is up than it did before, as even though there were under lights fitted when I installed the kitchen, it was still a bit of a dead corner. The Red panelling has given the kitchen more depth, if that makes any sense......?????

RE: Lustrolite Splashbacks. - Joe the chip - 18-04-2013
Yeah I agree about the red adding depth. I've never really come across this situation in a layout before, but I actually quite like it. Obviously its not an ideal use of the space, I do think it looks good though.
I've had to change a design ive done for a new potential customer, she has specifically asked for this situation. She wants 300 tall boy pull outs either side of an american ff, with some small units above. The only way to accommodate this is to have it butted up to the corner unit.
The images I've generated today look quite good, though she wants red quartz so well have to find a different colour for splash backs and tile trim
