In this Carnegie St residence in Melbourne, modern minimalism meets warm texture in perfect harmony. The Carnegie St. Residence Chiefly project by DCR Joinery centres on a signature fluted timber kitchen island, combined with full-home custom cabinetry, creating a space that is both highly functional and elevated for everyday family living.
Step into the kitchen and the eye is immediately drawn to the flowing fluted timber island, paired with matte white cabinetry and marble surfaces — clean, refined, yet inviting. The island is not only the cooking centre but also the natural gathering point for the family. The overall fluted minimal modern style features simple lines with rich layering, perfectly capturing contemporary Melbourne families’ desire for refined practicality.
Key highlights of the project include:
Curved walk-in robe for efficient storage with soft visual flow
Integrated vanity nook that maximises every inch of space
Illuminated glass display cabinet that turns collections into a design feature
Custom media wall that combines hidden storage with a clean visual look
