This soulful kitchen in the heart of the house was designed in collaboration with the owners.
Its warm combination of colour, wood, curves and handmade clay tiles makes the space light and inviting. The cosy nook is a favourite place to sip a cup of tea, read or chat.
Everything was well considered from the upstand to keep herbs and oils to the pantry for storage and the placement of compost and recycling bins.
The result is an inviting space that's functional and inspiring.
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.
