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.
