Notes from the build

The Australian Ambassador's residence kitchen had outlived its layout. The brief: a working chef's kitchen for a household that hosts diplomatic events, fitted into the existing room without expanding the footprint.

Modern Lao Homes carried out the strip-out, replumbed and rewired to current spec, then rebuilt the kitchen around a peninsula. Stone surfaces, integrated appliances, range hood. The cabinetry runs continuous from cooking face to seating face — one move, two functions.

The work was completed without disrupting the residence's calendar. A renovation of this kind is judged at the joins; we photographed those.
