Beautiful lacquered cabinets sit with an engineered stone bench top and denim blue walls for an open, modern Kitchen and Butler's Pantry

Kitchen | Home Bar

The layout is high wall storage to one side with bench storage along the other side. The central island with bar seating is 3350mm long! The seating is arranged at the dining end of the island allowing family members to sit around it in a U-Shape so that all can face each other or enjoy the view to the exterior. The benchtop is engineered stone, Caesarstone Statuario Nuvo. The cabinetry is 2-PAC Lacquer Paint Finish. The kick board is Stainless Steel. The extrusion handle ensures that the kitchen has a clean finish. The extrusion adds a horizontal line detail that makes the kitchen feel longer and adds subtle interest. The glass splashback provides a slightly different finish to the other surfaces and hence adds to the simplicity of the aesthetics of this kitchen.

The new floorplan for this renovation flipped the kitchen and living areas around to utilise the garden more effectively to create a lovely indoor / outdoor flow from the kitchen. We have used 'Black Touch' our supermatte finish along with one of our beautiful wood-look laminates.

This iconic apartment building is in the heart of Wellington, with original features and natural light in abundance. We conceived a simple design that was of the era but not too fussy, and joinery to house their extensive library. The colour palette is not shy and compliments the mid century aesthetic.

Casual comfortable family kitchen is the heart of this home! Organization is the name of the game in this fast paced yet loving family! Between school, sports, and work everyone needs to hustle, but this hard working kitchen makes it all a breeze! Photography: Stephen Karlisch
