Te Aro Apartment Kitchen

Style: Character Apartment Kitchen Project Scope: Custom designed kitchen for an historic inner city apartment in Wellington, infused with personality and a nod to the heritage of the building and surrounds. Year: 2021 Location: Te Aro, Wellington Built in the early 1900s, this warehouse turned apartment building has undergone significant earthquake strengthening, offering a total blank canvas & exciting opportunity to create a truly bespoke kitchen for this deserving inner city pad. We embraced the industrial loft style of the building with it’s exposed brick walls and heavy structural steel cross-beams to inspire this kitchen re-design. The layout of key appliances was re-worked, and the kitchen opened up to create a unified entertainer’s space in the heart of this studio apartment. We selected dark stained oak cabinetry with highly functional ceramic bench tops for a sleek, yet extremely practical application. Black, powder-coated steel handles and shelving detail link through to the apartment’s structural elements, finished off with lighting to highlight the beauty of the inherent materials in our palette.
