Elevated Elegance: A Family Kitchen Framing Harbour Views

Perched high in the hills with breathtaking, uninterrupted views over the harbour, this kitchen is nothing short of magical. Designed for a young, growing family, it blends warmth, functionality, and refined craftsmanship, creating a space that is as practical as it is beautiful.

At the heart of the kitchen, a stunning custom rangehood and island back are clad in 20mm Plytech Maestro Latt paneling in Pepper Oak on a black backing, adding texture and depth. The woodgrain cabinetry in Bestwood Ranfurly Oak is complemented by accents in Laminex Acrylic “Meringue,” creating a harmonious balance of rich, natural tones and crisp, modern finishes. Framing beneath the bulkhead in Ranfurly Oak elegantly completes the space, enhancing the kitchen’s architectural presence.

Functionality is at the forefront of this design. A side-by-side integrated single-door fridge and freezer ensure ample storage, while bench-height ovens offer ease of use. The main kitchen features a fully integrated dishwasher, while a single dish drawer in the scullery provides additional convenience. The scullery itself is a dream space, boasting open shelving, abundant storage, a second sink, and a cool drawer to keep ingredients perfectly chilled.

Adding to the everyday luxury of this home, a dedicated coffee nook offers a serene retreat for morning rituals. Tall pull-out units, detailed in brushed anthracite, provide sleek and accessible storage solutions, maintaining a clutter-free aesthetic. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to enhance both functionality and visual appeal.

This kitchen is more than just a space for cooking—it is a place where family moments unfold, where practicality meets elegance, and where the stunning natural surroundings are celebrated through a design that feels both timeless and effortlessly sophisticated.
