Explore the real projectFrom our Eastwood project archive
The Eastwood project archive shows a compact kitchen and laundry area with white cabinetry, a black sink, glass splashback and timber flooring. These photographs are from the same completed residential renovation.
A compact layout can still make room for everyday cooking and laundry. Use the photographs to discuss bench space, appliance positions, storage and circulation with your project team.

Plan around your appliances
Confirm appliance dimensions, door clearances and service connections before finalising cabinet sizes.
Discuss the existing services
Ask what can be retained and what needs moving. A site inspection helps identify work that is not obvious in a photograph.
Compare an itemised scope
Review cabinetry, benchtops, appliances and installation as separate line items, and record which finishes are included.
