Aaron Hynds

From the start working with Mal we have our kitchen come into being from design, material selection and project management. The Kitchen has an outlook that creates a dynamic connection with the inside and outside environments of the home, with our hope for connected living space for all ages. With the use of high quality elements, lighting and modern high end appliances we have an entertainers paradise for family and friends. Very happy and highly recommended!

Mal has designed a beautiful and superbly functioning kitchen for us. Months after moving in I still get great pleasure working in it with its large Caeserstone rugged-concrete island bench and a mix of lighting options for different purposes. Our ensuite bathroom is so elegant and loved by every visitor. Also beautifully lit, I love looking at all the fossils in my limestone tiles and feel back home in NZ when showering on my Fiordland kauri tiles in the wet area. Mal was ever available for quick comment on Whats App.

Our Company The Woodsmiths has worked with Mal Corboy for many years. We enjoy working with Mal as his designs are always interesting, challenging and different. We would recommend Mal as a leading top end designer.

We had the pleasure of working with Mal Corboy as part of renovation & expansion of our family home in Remuera. Mal provided full interior design services during the project. The highlight of this project was definitely our brand new kitchen, bespoke study, and the bathrooms. Mal's attention to detail was superb. The cabinetry suppliers that he had recommended to us were excellent and we were very impressed with the every aspect of the product quality. Every line was perfectly straight, things fit exactly where they meant to go, every finish was perfect and only the best hardware was used. During installation Mal supervised the entire process to ensure everything was flawless. That shows a lot of due diligence! His work not only looks amazing but also very highly functional. We still can't believe how much storage space we now have in a relatively small house! We would definitely recommend Mal's services to anyone who is looking for their next bespoke kitchen and wanting something special.

Mal designed and project managed the renovation of our kitchen, laundry, bathroom and ensuite. We found that he listened to us, was patient and provided appropriate guidance that was focused on meeting our needs. Our renovation took place in the Waikato and our distance was never an issue. Mal has excellent networks and access to top quality tradespeople who all were professional and completed work of the highest standard. Mal was easy to talk with and was very open to our thinking. He was extraordinarily responsive to all queries and would provide immediate follow up where necessary. He communicated very effectively with us on all occasions, We also found that he has excellent buying power with a variety of outlets which ensured that the quality of our renovation was not compromised. We are thrilled with the end result and would not hesitate to either use Mal again and/or recommend him to others.

Mike Beagley

Mal, was absolutely amazing from the first meeting to the final completion of our project. he understood us and got the brief so well we basically agreed with every design decision he made without a moments hesitation. he offered huge value and i believe his fees are modest given the scale of his involvement. i would have no hesitation in using Mal again and i couldn't recommend him more highly.

My husband is a chef by trade and wanted a quality kitchen, and what we got was exceptional. Mal's product knowledge was current and invaluable.He came recommended by a friend and we understand why they were confident in the recommendation. Mal is a professional and he is about quality and perfection.Give him the brief and he will give you the reality of the budget he will need to achieve it .At first we thought really? that much?? but we were so delighted with the outcome, we felt we absolutely got value for money, and had him refurbish the rest of our home.The contractors he used were of the same exceptional standard and so easy to deal with.Highly recommend Mal.

It has been a total pleasure working with Mal Corboy on our apartment makeover design. He has redesigned our kitchen using luxurious gold and chocolate colours and creating beautiful pieces of furniture to match the overall look. Our small kitchen has turned into a large fabulous easy to use kitchen. His amazing ideas for our bathrooms and wardrobes have been wonderful and it feels like we are working with an old friend.l I would highly recommend Mal - his design skill and talent for making spaces look amazing is worth every cent!

Thank you Vanessa, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you on your home. I'm sure we will have many more projects in the future.

We put a kitchen in our apartment 6 years earlier but so much was not up to standard that we needed to replace the whole thing. I remembered Mal Corboy's name from winning an award some time earlier so chose to use his design. He managed to incorporate wood etc that existed in the living area. All finishing was of a very high standard and the Corian bench really set it off.

Mal has turned my bulk standard apartment into a luxurious haven to be proud of. His service is personable, responsive and professional and I ended up with a new friend as well as a great space to live in.

Mal Corboy and his team have been absolutely fantastic in assisting my family with our new kitchen in Auckland. The property concerned is an apartment we seldom visit, therefore it was great to have a professional who would go the extra mile and assist with meeting tradespeople and other suppliers on site as we simply weren't able to be there. Mal has a great understanding of his client needs and is more than happy to take on our own ideas and make them better with his creative flair and master touch. We have no problem with recommending Mal and his services to others and would welcome the opportunity to speak to our reference if need be. Many thanks again Mal for a fantastic experience. Cheers Matt & Fiona.

Commented: do you sell the cabinet pulls?Hi there, so sorry for the delay in replying. For some reason I didn't get the notification. Those were custom made. I'm sure a good wrought iron company should be able to make something similar.

Commented: upper cabinetsI’ve been doing these for years. They do open up towards the ceiling. I use a Blum Servo Drive with restrictors. I design cabinets to give the illusion of going to the ceiling.

Commented: details on the stainless pins please?I had these custom made for my client in 2014. If you wish to purchase them, I just need to know the quantity needed and where they are being shipped to and I can provide a quote for you.
