Coastal modern kitchen with Laminex cabinetry and Dekton benchtops, overlooking Rangitoto.

CASTOR BAY, AUCKLAND

This recently completed kitchen renovation showcases a thoughtful blend of coastal calm and modern sophistication. Designed, manufactured, and installed by the Fluid Interiors team, the project was brought to life in collaboration with Interior Designer Cathryn Davey of re-vision.space.

The layout was shaped around the client’s unique vision, while the material palette, creates a serene and refined atmosphere. The result is a light-filled kitchen that maximises the stunning water views toward Rangitoto. Natural textures, soft tones, and clean detailing combine with clever functionality — including mitred benchtops and a waterfall end — to deliver a space that is as practical as it is beautiful.

This renovation was a true labour of love, guided by curiosity, collaboration, and thoughtful decision-making.

DRH SHOWHOME, WARKWORTH

Taking cues from the sun-soaked elegance of Palm Springs, this David Reid Homes Warkworth showhome, with the kitchen—designed, manufactured, and installed by Fluid Interiors—delivers relaxed luxury with a mid-century modern twist.
The hero piece, a curved island clad in Colosseum Crystal White finger tiles, evokes poolside glamour while providing everyday functionality. The benchtops, in 30mm Trendstone Cala Eleganza, are softened at one end to enhance the kitchen’s flowing layout.
Cabinetry throughout features Berlin-profile Thermoform fronts in a fresh, matte white, offset with sleek negative detail handles. A warm copper penny round mosaic splashback curves seamlessly up the wall, providing a nod to retro design while staying grounded in modern materials.
Touches of brushed brass—including lip handles on tall units, a Waterware gold tap, and a Mercer brass sink—bring warmth and cohesion to the palette. Hettich soft-close drawer runners ensure the kitchen functions as beautifully as it looks.
This space is a celebration of form, texture, and timeless style—inviting you to slow down and soak up the sunshine, even indoors.

CENTRAL CITY APARTMENT, AUCKLAND

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.

MANGAWHAI, NORTHLAND

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.
