Freeman’s Bay Townhouse
By 106 Architects
A renovation project of the kitchen and bathroom of a late ‘60s townhouse was undertaken. The vision was to create an ‘urban oasis’ in the middle of Auckland for a professional couple.
Our approach to the kitchen was inspired by a working restaurant or café-style kitchen. The application of sleek blackened metal and stainless steel was made to provide both contrast and balance to the soft natural timbers and marble bench tops.
The bathroom concept was to create a space that felt light and composed, while still maintaining an element of sharpness and edge, connecting this room to the rest of the house. Pattern and texture were essential. Natural materials of marble and timber provide a gentle movement highlighting the essence of calm in a 70’s sauna-style.
