Our clients love a mix of retro and modern design. The brief was to design and build a kitchen with a fresh and natural look that allows for two people ‘in action’ in their small kitchen space.

During the renovation process of this batch in Raglan, a part of a balcony was enclosed to become the new kitchen. As a result, the distance between the two side walls was narrower than ‘normal’ for a U-shaped kitchen.

The solution was to make right-hand side cabinets less deep than your standard size cabinets so that the couple had enough space in the middle to cook and prep food together.

Our clients chose a combination of NZ Pine plywood with a granite benchtop. The handle-free, tip-on opening fronts and the visible plywood end-grain give this kitchen design a clean and tidy aesthetic while the tone and grain of the whitewashed plywood add warmth a texture.

A large, ceiling-high pantry with pull-out drawers provides a whole lot of storage for all those groceries.

UNIQUE PLYWOOD KITCHEN

This kitchen project was quite complex and involved finding a solution for the entry area, the dining room and the kitchen. Multifunctional with loads of storage - this was the motto of this unique eco plywood kitchen for a busy family.

The ceiling-high cabinet elements provide a lot of storage. A double-sided patry unit offers spaces for all those containers and cans for a big family. It also acts as a shoe shelf in the entry area and separates the entry from the kitchen.
In the background, a long shelving unit forms a visual connection between entry ’corridor’ and kitchen space.

The new island with sink has a breakfast bar area. The top is made of Rimu which is oiled with a natural oil-wax. Before the renovation, a wall used to separate the spaces. Taking this wall out has made a huge difference to the look and feel of our client’s home. it's so much lighter and more open.

Using every little inch in this kitchen- even the space around the inbuilt rangehood has been used to provide a little bit of storage. finding clever solutions for as much storage as possible in a small space was key in this kitchen renovation project.

And how gorgeous are these turquoise-blue tiles? Tiles are such a great way of adding colour and a certain style to your kitchen. The tiles in the photo are handmade, which makes them so unique.

The kitchen and new wall lining are birch plywood.
