This stunning kitchen space designed by Leonie Hamill and Melanie Sa'u of Cube dentro was awarded the CDS Kitchen Design and runner up for the NKBA Auckland Chapter at the 2021 NKBA Excellence in Design awards. 

The brief required a pared-back yet striking design with a robust form to take the knocks from a young family. 

The design duo chose a limited colour palette with the hero cabinetry surface in Prime Melamine - Black with a Timberland finish, emulating the look of timber veneer, contrasting with the Statuario Venato benchtop in a leather finish. The white benchtop splices through the middle of the room and creates a checkerboard effect with the rear dark cabinetry and matching stone splashback. 

A clever hint of vintage, tying in with the villa's era, is the cantilever dining table supported by brass legs. Pops of brass hardware complete the gorgeous space.
