The renovation of the Seatoun Heights Kitchen achieved our client’s objective of creating a much lighter, fresher looking kitchen that is open and easy to use and access. We created a style that feels up-to-date but also homely and comfortable in this warm and inviting family home. The colour adds to the presence and personality of the kitchen. It is a colour the homeowners enjoy, fits with the rest of the house and connects with the stunning harbour views visible from the kitchen dining windows. The colour palette established was drawn from artworks and also connects really well with Portmeirion ceramic containers. A new kitchen provided the opportunity to propose a new layout that allowed easier access from multiple adjoining spaces, rather than having only one point of entry not handy to the dining table. This was of additional value as new french doors to an outdoor patio were being added as part of the project.

Client Says: We hadn’t used a designer before and were worried that we would be pushed into something that was over-the-top and more aligned with a fashion magazine than us… But instead Frances understood us, supported us, came up with fabulous options, never pushed her point of view and created a kitchen for us that is so much better than what we could have imagined. We love it. The kitchen is really ergonomic and easy to work in — and it looks fabulous. We have both form and function and what more could we want?

Frances Says: These clients are such warm and inviting people who cook often, bake bread and host frequently. It is really satisfying to know that the kitchen facilitates all of these things and is smart looking whilst also suiting their informal and genuine way of bringing people together.

“During 2009/2010 it was decided that the existing Ronald McDonald House in Wellington needed to be demolished and a brand new facility built. The Board was looking at a $15 million project and we needed to make this 34 bedroom House into a very special home!As a Trust Board Member of Ronald McDonald House Wellington and on the Interior Design Team for the new build, the CEO Lesley Slieker and I wished to engage a Wellington based Interior Designer to lead us through the project. In December 2011, we procured the services of a newly qualified Frances Fraser. We knew instantly that Frances was the one to join the two of us on this momentous journey, and what would be a massive undertaking. Frances came from a graphic design background and had recently graduated with a Graduate Diploma in Design with Distinction from Massey University in Wellington. She came to us with a number of valuable contacts and lots of innovative ideas!! Frances listened to the significant brief for the project and began to interpret this into design schemes and ultimately reality for us. Frances was always a few steps ahead of us and always come to our meetings well prepared and ‘creative juices’ flowing. Frances has the ability to not only deliver professional concepts through to reality but work effectively in a team so that all our strengths could be capitalised on. Frances kept all our interior design subcontractors and suppliers well supported, keeping them in the loop of our deadlines and making sure they had everything they needed to complete their work. Maintaining professional and frequent communication allowed us to be kept up to date with the progress and assured that all targets were met. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Frances and that was a wonderful bonus. The new Ronald McDonald House was a challenging but hugely rewarding project of significance for hundreds of future families and Wellington as a city, we needed to get it right! I would have no hesitation in recommending Frances Fraser for Interior Design work big or small – residential or commercial. Personally, I wish her every success as she embarks on her next journey and designing and creating wonderful spaces for her clients.”
