Award-winning kitchen design by Architects’ Creative, featuring Prime Art Veneer cabinetry and an aged brass splashback, showcasing a luxurious yet family-friendly aesthetic in a cleverly designed 3-metre wide space.
This gorgeous space-savvy kitchen by Daniel Sullivan and Kate Loader from Architects’ Creative in Christchurch has taken out the Residential Kitchen Award at the Interior Awards 2020. Judges were impressed with the way the “constrained, elongated space” manages to feel “generous and even a touch grandiose”.
The new kitchen, tucked into an area only 3 metres wide, features Prime Panels’ Prime Art Veneer as the hero surface for the vertical cabinetry.
Combined with an aged brass splashback and sink, the rich texture of the veneer is highlighted by the natural light coming into the kitchen from a side window and double height space above.
Using a unique brushing technique, Prime Art Veneer is made from American White Oak which has a planked layout. Options include rustic (with knots) or bandsawn that scuffs the oak horizontally.
The judges also commented that the combination of a brilliantly curated material palette, thoughtful space planning and high attention to detail was a masterclass in creating a luxurious yet family-friendly kitchen.
