This elegant space is the result of a beautiful villa renovation in Bluff Hill, Napier. The material palette features an elegant & timeless combination of rich oak veneer, custom framed, curved & painted cabinetry, Calacatta marble & fluted glass display units. The fridge/freezer & dishwasher are integrated for a furniture-like aesthetic, & a Zenith all-in-one G5 hydro tap eliminates the need for a kettle, separate water filter & soda stream. Blackened brass handles & Lateral lighting over the island by Powersurge add a lovely detail to the space. The refined island features an extension past the cabinetry to allow for seating, with an oak timber frame supporting the marble. This oak also continues down to the legs, which are finished with blackened brass feet. It was such a privilege to be a part of the transformation of this very special space.
