Solid Timber Kitchen & Bathroom Joinery - Lauren Barton Bellbrae Project

We recently collaborated with local artist Lauren Barton to design & install a myriad of solid timber cabinetry for her idyllic property in Bellbrae, Victoria. We worked together to design solid timber cabinetry throughout the kitchen, living & bathroom areas using locally sourced recycled Messmate timber. Sustainable, locally sourced materials were were prioritised throughout this mindful renovation to compliment the surrounding coastal landscape.

We primarily work with recycled Messmate as we prefer to source timber that has low travel miles & is readily available from our local timber suppliers. Generally, recycled Messmate has been salvaged from residential & commercial building sites in the Geelong, Otway & Melbourne regions prior to be being re-milled and repurposed. One of the added bonuses of working with salvaged timber is that you can occasionally see the original ‘recycled’ features such as nail / pin holes etc. from its previous life!

60mm thick locally sourced recycled Messmate bench tops were installed throughout the open plan kitchen / living area

A beautiful 60mm thick recycled Messmate timber mantle was custom made to compliment the earthy textures, tones (& artwork!) that surround the open fireplace

Custom made recycled Messmate timber joinery was designed to suit an open plan entrance / living area & maximise storage space.

A solid recycled Messmate front door was custom made to create a striking first impression & accompany a luscious native coastal garden!

Our ‘Valla’ vanity is ideal for maximum storage & display opportunities! Pictured here in recycled Messmate timber
