Nestled in this gorgeous home adorned with light-reclaimed brick cladding, this kitchen effortlessly blends rustic charm with a modern edge. The Aged Ash Melteca cabinets and sleek Caesarstone Snow benchtop create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Behind a discreet bifold door, a concealed bar area awaits, adding an element of surprise. Adjacent windows grace the walls of an airy scullery, bathing the space in natural light and establishing a seamless connection with both the kitchen and the outdoors. The back of the island introduces subtle thin v-groove detailing, contributing texture and visual allure.
Touches of brass and natural materials enhance the kitchen’s aesthetic, striking a harmonious balance between rural charm and contemporary design. Serving as the heart of this beautifully styled home, the kitchen effortlessly captures the essence of a rural lifestyle setting.
This modern home is a luxurious family retreat. Natural tones and inspired finishes and fixtures feature throughout in a cohesive design. The grand living and entertainment zone impresses with clean lines, smooth concrete floors, and built-in cabinetry. The kitchen island with its sleek waterfall edge makes an ideal bar.
The family bathroom is a delight, with feature lights and subtle pink basins blending in with earthy tiles. Upstairs in the main suite, a Juliet balcony makes the most of sea views and the ensuite is exquisite, with gorgeous bronzed glass, dark basins, and bespoke cabinetry adding to the allure. This minimalist home shines with an abundance of space, style, and personality.
At 37 stories in the sky, you are drawn to the uninterrupted views over central Auckland. As you enter the apartment the solid timber fins define the open entry. The kitchen wanted to be functional and inviting, and to sit comfortably within the 3.6m stud open-plan living space.
The client had a clear aesthetic in mind which accommodated the use of some treasured fittings saved from a childhood family home; the floating shelving provides an opportunity to display these special pieces and add some colour. The 100 x 100 full-height tiles complement the modern 70s aesthetic and add texture to the two-tone kitchen. Down the hallway you are drawn through a custom walnut door to the impressive library, with solid walnut floating shelving featuring a custom movable ladder to allow full access to the space.
This project shows how selecting the right materials and thoughtful design can turn a kitchen into a bold, elegant, and functional space. By focusing on harmony, focal points, subtle accents, and effective lighting, we created a kitchen that is visually stunning and practical.
Sensa Sant Angelo Leathered Granite serves as the design’s centerpiece with its unique texture and striking appearance. Its deep, rich colors and intricate patterns set the tone for the kitchen. To complement this bold granite, Melteca Classic Oak and Prime Dezigna White cabinetry was selected. The Classic Oak adds a warm, natural element, while Dezigna White offers a clean, modern contrast. Together, creating a cohesive and inviting environment. The Genia-clad island is more than functional; it’s a statement piece. Its graceful curves draw attention and improve the kitchen’s flow, making it a focal point for gatherings and conversation. Brass accents add warmth and sophistication without overwhelming the space. Lo+Co Handles and ABI Interiors tapware introduce just the right amount of brass, enhancing the kitchen’s luxurious feel and complementing other design elements. LED accent and task lighting play a crucial role in highlighting the kitchen’s features. They delicately illuminate the splashback and other key areas, bringing the space to life and maintaining a balanced, inviting ambiance.
