NEW VIBES FOR AN AirBnB

We've been busy designing kitchenettes lately, and here's another example for a local AirBnB. Despite its compact size, this small kitchen is equipped with plenty of drawer space, featuring soft-closing Blum hardware for a smooth experience. It includes convenient features such as an inbuilt dish drawer and a microwave oven, ensuring that guests have everything they need.

To enhance the ambience, we've incorporated integrated LED lighting, providing a lovely glow in the evenings. The combination of Gaboon plywood, a sleek black laminate POLARIS benchtop, and minimal open shelving creates a modern and inviting atmosphere, making this kitchenette a beautiful addition to the holiday home.

SLICK & ELEGANT KITCHENETTE

Another great little example of a slick little kitchen operating with elegant class and functionality.

Gaboon plywood gives off a beautiful warm shimmer into the room while the black details in the tap, handles and bench top anchor the kitchen with a touch of elegance. High quality hardware mechanisms and skilled craftsmanship allow this kitchenette to sit back in the room as another piece of bespoke furniture.

PIRATE BED FOR A YOUNG EXPLORER

We had a little explorer that needed a little bed space to call her own. A pirate design, with use of marine rigging and celestial additions made this bedtime space a place of dreams.

Shelving cubbyholes have been constructed to be utilised as a staircase entry into the bed, maximising on the limited space of the room. By elevating the bed high enough into the room, it frees up the available area beneath it to be utilised as extra play space.

A perfect little dream-space that the children can adapt themselves.

RETRO- MODERN RENOVATION

This kitchen plays right on the edge of retro feels that match the design aesthetics of the passionate collector of beautiful midcentury beauties while functioning within modern practicality. Golden FORBO Marmoleum floors radiate a warmth all year round in this kitchen space, while the minty green shaker cabinets lift the space and keep a classic elegance to the kitchen. Brass handles and Gaboon plywood work with the green and the golden floors harmoniously.

DYNAMIC AND STRIKING KITCHENETTE

This commercial kitchenette fit-out plays dynamically with the structure of the building around it. The angular staircase as a backdrop provides a striking and playful balance of form & space.

MOTIDE bespoke timber handles work with the linear aspects of the building, warming up the black tones of the kitchen and the staircase. The kitchen cabinet fronts are made from a matt black laminated plywood, with a dark grey Polaris benchtop. The staircase behind it is painted black.

The kitchen is kept minimal by integrating the dishwasher behind a cabinet door. Taps and overhead storage is kept to a simple and minimal presence.

The MOTIDE bespoke timber handles are repeated in the conference room next to the kitchen, keeping details continuous within the neighbouring spaces.

SIMPLE, DISCREET, CUSTOM STORAGE UNIT

Here is a perfect example of where a bespoke piece of cabinetry can maximise a living space. Our client had an empty nook that needed a bespoke piece of furniture. This book shelf snuggly fills the gap, nestling into the space and quietly presenting skilled craftsmanship.

This simple, clean and and discreet storage unit is constructed from NZ pine plywood. It’s been finished with a white wash OSMO Polyx protective oil. Simple details are expressed in this cabinet - the plywood edging and the perforated pegboard that is used as a cupboard door.

Shelving has been designed and constructed to be adjustable, because that’s life, we keep changing over the years.

GABOON & RATTAN LOUNGE UNIT
 

The warm tone of the Gaboon plywood and the cane mesh really integrate themselves so nicely into this retro-modern styled beach home in Raglan.

When we met our clients they asked us to come up with a design that works well with the tones of their newly renovated beach house. The materials and design of their new TV-Stereo Unit and the matching book shelf is simple - with clean lines and tidy yet sophisticated details. The warm Gaboon veneer was a natural choice that adds a retro vibes to the design.

These two units make the perfect addition to their beachy-eclectic interiors.
