Renovating an apartment on the eighteenth floor of Auckland’s tallest apartment building takes careful planning and efficient project management.

These clients knew that the Poggenpohl team would be up to the task as they had already installed two Poggenpohl’s for them; one in their family home and one in their holiday bach.

This apartment is not open-plan architecture. The kitchen-casual dining – casual TV lounge are separated from the more formal areas in the apartment. The brief, therefore, was that the Poggenpohl fill the entire room with an elongated, elevated, slimline and handle-less design.

Wall panelling in matt-white and nut-tree reshaped the room as required for more storage. The folding lift-up wall units also add great storage capacity.  The Miele downdraft is recirculating as no exterior extraction was possible. The slotted rail embedded into the splashback allows for wall-hung elements.

The casual dining table is supported by a vertical sheet of glass that allows one to look right through the kitchen out to the Waitemata Harbour, a view that these three-time-Poggenpohl clients love.

Improving the kitchen since 1892

Founded in 1892 in the heart of Germany, Poggenpohl is the oldest and best-known kitchen brand in the world. From that day to this, we have followed the vision of our founder, Friedemir Poggenpohl, who set out to ‘improve the kitchen’.

For more than 120 years, Poggenpohl has continued to ‘improve the kitchen’, transforming it from a humble backroom into a living space that’s at the heart of the home. Our pioneering history includes many firsts, including white lacquer kitchen furniture, ergonomic work-top heights, and the development of the kitchen island.
