Obscure groundbreaker by Sue Gillbanks

As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, though the open kitchen bar is essential in entertaining users, the actual master of the featured kitchen is the contemporary-designed scullery.

"Everything happens in the scullery," said designer Sue Gillbanks. "This is where all the food preparation and cooking takes place. The sleek front kitchen is mainly just used for serving dishes and as a drinks area."

"There also needed to be enough room for several people to work in the scullery at the same time. It was designed much like a commercial kitchen, with caterers in mind – there is even a door that opens directly to the front of the house so food and groceries can be unloaded easily."

The designer said that the scullery can be concealed when the need to entertain occurs. "When the glass cavity door between the two kitchens is closed, the scullery is invisible," added Gillbanks.
