Whether a project is a new build, or an existing owner looking to renovate, the aesthetics, functionality and quality of the kitchen is the beating heart of a property. It not only occupies a central space, it also defines and shapes activity and domestic relationships. This makes the specification of every element extremely influential in terms of project quality.
The key to unlocking an effective connection between architectural aspirations and the occupant experience is early design decisions. Founded in Italy in 1970, Poliform has been bringing the excellence of Italian design and crafting into Australian projects for more than two decades, with a gifted local team working with architects, builders and interior designers to create exceptional outcomes.
Design talent and the deep experience of Poliform’s team, combined with digital technology, ensures early design decisions integrate occupant experience considerations. These include sightlines to living, outdoor, dining and entry zones, so the plan for the kitchen is seamlessly coordinated with the architectural aspirations of a project floorplan.
The dimensions of cabinets, benches, insets for appliances and integrated features such as rangehoods can be detailed for compatibility with other decisions such as ventilation, lighting, electrical, plumbing fixtures and exhausts. This streamlines the programming of the build stage and the sequencing of interdependent trades – a genuine value-add in an efficiency-minded development industry.
Using digital design approaches also bridges the Australia-based design process and the fabrication at Poliform’s Italian manufacturing facility, with 3D CAD modelling ensuring every detail is precise.
Poliform maintains full control over every part of the delivery process, beginning with selecting the highest quality materials including natural stone, timber, glass, lacquered finishes and high-performance composites. Every material has been scrupulously considered for durability, tactile qualities and timeless aesthetic appeal, to ensure these kitchens deliver long-term appeal and enjoyable functionality. Robust construction that has been tested for durability and quality ensures lasting performance.
Premium finishes are also matched by details that enhance the day-to-day use of a Poliform kitchen; this means the kitchens we build always deliver on beauty and long-term functionality. High-quality European hardware, handle-less cabinetry, soft-touch surfaces and integrated appliances add to the premium experience for occupants.
Smart storage systems add another dimension of practicality, aligning with the emerging trends around smaller floorplates with optimised functionality. This is particularly valuable for apartment, townhouse and duplex projects, also for hospitality venues, apartment-hotels, and premium retirement living. In these typologies, the aesthetic trend combines a need for attractive, considered kitchen spaces that have an essence of elegance and an uncluttered appearance.
For architects, collaborating with Poliform’s team supports aesthetic freedom, with customisable layouts and flexible designs that can be tailored to complement the wider spatial scheme and project palette.
The team at Poliform Australia brings a depth of experience to every project, with a wealth of knowledge about the Australian design and construction sector and the needs and expectations of the local market. From design consultants and CAD specialists through to installation professionals, many team members have been working with Poliform products for more than 20 years.
This collective expertise is matched by exceptional dedication to detail, commitment to technical excellence and a proactive approach to complex projects and their challenges. For designers and developers embarking on a new venture, whether they are starting with a blank canvas or are refurbishing or renovating an existing building or home, beginning the conversation with Poliform’s team early will lay the foundations for success.
