Takapuna kitchen

The owner’s mid-century bungalow was ready for renovation, to create spaces that reflected modern living. This included a new kitchen to be incorporated into the living/dining space. The new kitchen would occupy a similar space as before, but an island would now create the connection between kitchen and dining with a bar on one side.

Designer, Wayne Church, has created a kitchen that embodies the client’s contemporary aesthetic. The lines in the new design are minimal, with handle-less negative finger pulls and no unnecessary details. The heroes in this kitchen are undoubtedly the materials – steel, walnut, granite and tiles laid in a herringbone pattern. The materials work in harmony, balancing one another. The bar, in solid walnut, with waterfall granite ends, create a centrepiece. Under-bench cabinets finished in Resene one-eighth Truffle cut the richness of the other materials.

Practically, the kitchen layout has great flow, with entrance to the kitchen either side of the island. The kitchen is well specified with Fisher and Paykel appliances, an under-bench Neff combination microwave oven, and a Vintec wine fridge. Plenty of storage has been packed into the kitchen with an on-bench pantry in the corner, generous overhead cabinets, and ample drawer space under-bench.

The final result is a thoroughly modern kitchen that is at once elegant and minimal, yet visually rich, with a palette of textures and finishes that work so well together in this setting.

We’ll work closely with you to develop a kitchen that reflects your needs - a balance of form and function that takes into account, not only the kitchen itself, but your home as a whole. The result is a space you’ll love to be in every day because it works the way you like to, reflects your sense of style, and is a focal point to cook, entertain and relax with family and friends.

Design - Manufacture - Installation

From our factory/showroom on Auckland’s North Shore, we can offer you the convenience of a complete service, from initial consultation and design, right through to manufacture, and installation. This gives us unequalled quality control because we manage every part of your project. We also liaise with other trades involved in your project, to ensure an easy, stress-free experience.

If you already have a designer or architect involved, we’re happy to work with them too.
