Takaka, Golden Bay

Modern elements in a classic Kiwi home.

Incorporating the bench seat into the space maximises the window area, provides more opportunity for storage and is just a lovely place to sit. The original Matai floors have proved to be an absolute standout and the carefully chosen colour palette means that nothing competes but work harmoniously in the space.

Updating this classic kiwi kitchen to incorporate more storage, improved function and beautiful, robust materials has totally transformed the space. The seamless stainless steel bench with fully integrated sink meant the tricky little corner was able to accommodate the coffee area and overhead cabinets beautifully.
