Malcolm of Compass Kitchens has now done 3 kitchen renovations for our family and one for a friend; all done here in and around Adelaide South Australia. Our first kitchen renovation was a country style kitchen that we had done 20 years by Compass Kitchens and we have only replaced this; using Malcolm again because we dramatically opened up the kitchen dining area of the house and replacing opposing stone walls with sliding glass doors. We realised that our country style kitchen didn't cut it any more so decided to replace it with a modern interpretation of an Aussie country kitchen. We both like the styling of Art Deco. We did try several well known kitchen companies first but found that we were being steered toward their kit formed solutions and so asked Malcolm to help us once again. He looked at our rough drawings and our colour decisions and commented "I think this will be a timeless kitchen". He helped us to work through a range of technical decisions so we have been able to be true to the original concept. This included managing issues like relaying the floor, bring in new electrical circuits and straightening a very wonky wall. In the end as you can see in the pictures the kitchen is beautifully sculptural without any unnecessary features. The room is not completely square but Malcolm has managed to absorb this so the 2 halves of the kitchen are perfectly parallel. We are very happy with this our latest kitchen renovation.

It is fun to be in and it encourages our making the effort to produce wonderful meals and entertain friends and family. I highly recommend Compass Kitchens.

Compass Kitchens has completed a number of projects for us over the years around Adelaide: two kitchen renovations and two bathroom renovations; and is about to undertake a full laundry renovation to match the most recent new kitchen they have done for us at our Mylor home.

This last kitchen renovation involved complete demolition and much tricky work to design, build and install against very irregular walls and floor levels. In all of this, Malcolm at Compass Kitchens was meticulous, attentive to detail and ingenious in problem solving.

Perhaps the most satisfying part of the process was the design phase, which - as ever - saw Compass's Malcolm Watts listen to me as a client, take on board those things that were possible and - with great experience and insight - explore with me those things I proposed which were impractical. Where we disagreed, i generally let his experience take the lead and in this and all other projects I am happy to say that his advice was invariably correct.

We love the hand- painted finish to our Federation Style cabinet work: it's easy to clean, durable and always able to accommodate touch-ups or a complete colour change. The granite is fantastic, the rear-painted glass splashbacks are always a talking point as is the 'secret' dishwasher.

Compass Kitchens is remarkable for its totally bespoke approach, something hard to find these days of flatpacks and modular construction. Electrical and plumbing needs are carefully considered, daily use and convenience are prime considerations and the result is a ktichen that really works.

In the end you get what you pay for; we certainly got more than we paid for and we look forward to our new Compass laundry: you cannot go past Compass's quality, durable work and fabulous designs.

"     We came to know Malcolm when he came to do a quote on our very brown unworkable 1980’s kitchen.

Malcolm had ideas for our new kitchen design that we hadn’t thought of at all, his planning, drafting, construction and completion were all performed in a very professional way.

Malcolm ensured that the project was not a great inconvenience to us, and we allowed him full access to our home, where he became a part of the family. Malcolm put our grandsons and dogs at ease with his calm demeanour and work ethic. At the completion of our build, we have been given a new kitchen which is an absolute pleasure to work in and has been given a huge thumbs up by all who have come to our home. I would recommend Compass Kitchens to anyone who asks, and am very glad that we were able to use them.
