Herne Bay

This is a substantial house that looks over the Auckland harbour, it needed a kitchen to the same opulent standard as the home. The centrrepiece of this kitchen is its Calacatta Vagli Oro marble benchtops, it has gold tones in it that inspired the colour palette. The green/gold tone is repeated in several areas, providing a subtle linkto the outdoors and stunning harbour views. The kitchen is illuminated by strip lighting beneath the overhead cabinets and cast out by the light boxes beneath the island. The Australian black bean timber provides further warmth and opulence to the colour palette, featuring as island shelving and in the negative-detail drawer handles. The flooring is Teak.
