Kitchen Renovation in Torquay VIC – A Modern, High-End Transformation Inspired by the Client’s Carlton Home
For this residential home in Torquay VIC, PB Builds was approached by a returning client whose bathroom we had renovated a few years prior. After recently upgrading their Carlton property, the clients wanted their Torquay kitchen to reflect the same high-quality feel, modern design, and functional layout they now enjoyed in Melbourne.
Working from a vision developed by their independent interior designer, the clients entrusted PB Builds to bring the design to life — with premium finishes, complex detailing, and a completely reworked layout to make the space more open, usable, and elegant.
Client Goals
- A modern, open kitchen that matched the level of finish in their Carlton home
- A more functional layout that improved flow and usability
- High-end finishes and custom-built features
- A kitchen that felt integrated with the dining and living areas
- Sleek, hidden storage to declutter the space
Scope of Works
PB Builds completed a full transformation, including:
🍽️ Redesigned Layout for Better Flow
Opened up the space to improve functionality, work zones and access, creating a kitchen that feels larger, brighter and far easier to use.
🗄️ Custom 2-Pac Cabinetry & Smart Storage
2-pac painted cabinetry, a full bifold door system concealing pantry and appliances, plus a custom sideboard in the dining area.
🧱 Premium Finishes & Modern Detailing
Dekton benchtops and splashbacks, 600×600 large-format tiles and under-bench LED lighting for a modern, seamless look.
🔌 Appliances & Upgrades Fisher & Paykel appliances, Quasair rangehood and upgraded electrical to suit new lighting and layout.
Construction Detail & Challenges
This project had strong design intent, with many elements requiring absolute precision, but one of the key challenges was:
🔹 3.2m x 1500mm Dekton Splashback – Installed with millimetre precision, flawlessly cut around the window to create a seamless, sculptural look.
🔹 Highly Technical Installation – Dekton is extremely dense and unforgiving; the process required expert handling, specialised tools, and meticulous planning.
🔹 Feature Highlight of the Home – The precision-cut splashback instantly became the hero of the kitchen, elevating the entire space with a premium, architectural aesthetic.
The Final Outcome
The finished kitchen delivers a modern, refined and highly functional space that perfectly reflects the client’s design vision.
✨ Modern & Open Layout – A bright, flowing kitchen designed for effortless everyday use.
🧱 Premium Materials – High-quality finishes throughout, creating a timeless and luxurious aesthetic.
🎨 Designer-Aligned Styling – Built precisely to match the interior designer’s concept and complement the client’s Carlton home.
🗄️ Clever Hidden Storage – Thoughtfully integrated solutions that keep the space clean, organised and practical.
💡 Soft LED Illumination – Subtle lighting that enhances warmth, ambience and cabinetry lines.
🛠️ Precision Craftsmanship – Impeccable detailing that elevates the entire renovation.
The clients were thrilled with the final result, praising the premium workmanship, smart functionality and seamless delivery of their vision.
Why This Kitchen Stands Out
🧱 Premium Dekton Surfaces – Ultra-durable, seamless benchtops and splashbacks that elevate the entire space.
🚪 Bifold Appliance & Pantry Wall – Keeps everyday items hidden, creating a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
🗄️ Custom Dining Room Sideboard – Adds functional storage while tying the kitchen and dining spaces together.
