RIVERPOINT APARTMENTS - PHILIP JOHNSON INSPIRED KITCHENS

Superbly located on the most elevated riverside position on the West End peninsula and only 2km from the Brisbane CBD, Riverpoint Apartments offer exclusive riverfront living.

The apartments range from one bedroom through to multi-level three bedroom penthouses offering a range of river, garden and city views.

From the Italian-designer tiles and Miele appliances to the tranquil internal water features in some penthouses, each residence exudes sophistication and individuality melded with functionality.

Philip combined his inspiration with the expertise of architects Cottee Parker on West End’s landmark Riverpoint Apartments project, bringing new meaning to the words “chef’s table”.

The unique collaboration resulted in a combination of chef inspired gold standards and architectural rhythm and flow.

Philip’s goal was to make the kitchen as spacious and meal preparation friendly as possible and he achieved that by combining commercial standards such as durability, heat conductivity and retention with lots of carefully concealed storage space and personalised design elements such as:-

• High benches
• A big single tub style sink – great for cooking pots that won’t go in the dishwater
• Large continuous bench spaces
• Clutter is out of sight thanks to plenty of deep storage drawers
• Bottle friendly drawers next to the stove to store oils/condiments
• Cooling racks – which can also be used to store food prepared earlier
• Combination of gas and induction stove tops. For the gourmet chef in training, induction cook tops boil water twice as fast as gas cook tops and they cool rapidly
• Multi-functional plate warmer. Designed to be versatile. For example sauces often need to stay warm but shouldn’t remain in the oven or in a pot
• Clean, uncluttered lines are on the menu here, with a slight lip to prevent minor spillages becoming major distractions

The stunning amber and chocolate marble island bench adds a pop of drama to the space. Top of the range Miele Euro appliances lend cosmopolitan sophistication, which is echoed in the smart joinery.

The kitchen is distinctively Philip Johnson – simple yet stunning – and a reflection of the ideas and beliefs that have made Philip and his e’cco bistro the success it is today.
