Chef's Home Kitchen

It's impossible not to make a mess when you're preparing a fabulous dinner party. But do you really want everyone to see this as they gather round the island for a drink before dinner?
The Southland chef who owns this new house found a way around the problem – have two kitchens, one at the front and one at the back.
Garry Hull of Paddock 186 in Waimatuku near Riverton had the opportunity to design the perfect kitchen when his original home burned down to the ground in a disastrous fire.
KEY DESIGN POINTS FROM THIS PROJECT
- If you have the space and the budget, and love entertaining, a second kitchen is a great way to contain the clutter while giving you all the space you need to cater to a crowd.
- A little whimsy goes a long way. In this kitchen, there's the coloured LED lighting. Plus, the owner has chosen a "tangled" light fixture that complements the wire sculptures of a man and a dog. It's a bit of fun and a conversation piece.
- Have everything you need right where you need it. While the large refrigerator in this set-up is in the second kitchen, albeit near the door, there is another refrigerator drawer within the island.
- Monochromatic looks have been the key trend for kitchens this year, and it's probably because they are a classic that will always look good.

About the
Professional
Hello, I’m Margaret Young and I am a Kitchen Designer with a passion for baking and cooking. I love all aspects of Kitchen Design from initial meeting of my clients, going through the processes and finally visiting them in their new kitchen.
2014 was a huge year for me. It marked the establishment of my own business as an independent Kitchen Designer. The first part of the year got off to a flying start – literally – I flew to Italy to attend Milan’s Eurocucina (Europe’s HUGE Biennial Kitchen expo). I as very fortunate to be invited by BLUM to visit their factories in the days prior to the Eurocucina Expo. The trip was a fantastic experience to immerse myself in the latest design and technology.
2014 kept getting better! Both my kitchen and bathroom entries received NKBA (National Kitchen & Bathroom) Awards. The elaborate kitchen entry won the Peoples Choice Section and the Bathroom won the Southern Region and later went on to become the National Runner Bathroom Design of the Year!
