Kakapo Joinery

A bespoke joinery company bringing sleek, refined craftsmanship and European quality to New Zealand homes.

Making anything from kitchens and windows, to doors and furniture, Kakapo Joinery aims to transform spaces and the lives of those living in them with clean lines, symmetry, and balance at the heart of our work.

Robin Holthusen – Founder and Owner of Kakapo Joinery – is a passionate and highly skilled joiner who after spending years in the trade in the UK, headed back to New Zealand with the dream of bringing joinery back to life. With a background in joinery, building and project management, combined with the drive and a passion for precision, Robin and the Kakapo Joinery team deliver a second-to-none service to customers, providing a quality end product.

Our values are simple. Be honest and true to yourself, take pride in what you do. As this mindset carries over to our work, clients can be assured that the end product – whatever it may be – will have been made thoughtfully with each fine detail in mind. We believe that being proud of a result comes from the quality of work we put in. As such, our quality, our style, and the way we invest our time and energy into selecting the right materials sets us apart and enables us to go beyond the goal.

We make something from nothing through incorporating a pin-point blend of craftsmanship, artistry, and purpose into our joinery work, while executing to perfection. What brings us happiness and satisfaction is when we’re able to resuscitate and inject life into dead spaces, as well as being able to reshape everyday living by way of function.
