A KITCHEN DESIGNED TO FRAME THE VIEW – CUSTOM CABINETRY BY FLUID INTERIORS

Set in the hills of Mangawhai, this beautiful home by Jeremy Chapman Architecture (JCA) was designed around the view — and the kitchen was no exception. The client’s vision was to create a generous, welcoming space to host friends and family, while keeping the design calm and understated to let the landscape speak for itself.

Working closely with the client and architect, Fluid Interiors designed, manufactured, and installed the kitchen and scullery cabinetry, focusing on simplicity, natural materials, and lasting quality. The four-metre cantilevered island provides a sculptural focal point and a place to sit and take in the surrounds. A palette of Marlin Grey quartzite, stainless steel, and white American oak in a vertical crown cut was chosen for its warmth and timelessness.

Every detail was thoughtfully resolved — from integrated appliances that blend seamlessly into the cabinetry, to the pocket door that conceals the scullery, adding function without interrupting the space. Soft lighting and natural textures keep the space feeling warm and grounded.

This kitchen is a quiet, elegant response to its location — one that feels effortless, yet every element has been deeply considered.

STUNNING HIGH-RISE APARTMENT WITH BESPOKE CABINETRY AND TIMBER JOINERY

Perched 37 stories above central Auckland, this apartment offers breathtaking, uninterrupted city views. As you step inside, the kitchen feels both functional and inviting, perfectly fitting within the spacious 3.6m stud open-plan living area.

The client had a clear vision, wanting to include some treasured fittings saved from their childhood home. Our custom solid walnut floating shelves provide the perfect spot to display these special pieces and add warmth and character to the space.

The kitchen’s two-tone design features beautiful American Walnut veneer cabinetry with crown cut staining, paired with full-height 100 x 100 tiles that bring texture and a nod to a modern 70s aesthetic. The breakfast bar and floating shelving are crafted from custom solid walnut with a durable resin finish, showcasing our attention to detail and quality.

Down the hallway, we crafted a custom walnut door that leads to a stunning library. There, our bespoke solid walnut floating shelves are complemented by a custom movable ladder, designed and built by Fluid Interiors to allow easy access to the entire space.

This project truly reflects Fluid Interiors’ passion for creating tailored cabinetry and joinery that bring personality and craftsmanship to modern homes.
