Torbay Kitchen Renovation

Complete kitchen renovation in a character home featuring heritage rimu bulkheads and stained glass windows. The existing kitchen was outdated with wasted storage space and non-functional layout.

Key Features:

• Preserved and integrated existing rimu bulkheads
• Recessed refrigerator for space optimization
• Full-height pantry with pull-out shelves
• Stone benchtops with structural support for bay window
• LED strip lighting throughout
• Functional breakfast bar replacing pass-through opening

Challenges Overcome:

• Sourcing timber to perfectly match existing rimu features
• Protecting heritage elements during construction using Zipwall dust barriers
• Navigating narrow second-floor access for stone benchtop installation
• Integrating modern functionality while maintaining character

Result: A contemporary, highly functional kitchen that seamlessly blends with the home's heritage features, maximizing storage and improving workflow while preserving architectural character.

Client Feedback: "Excellent building - tidy, professional and extremely competent. Project management was excellent and met all timelines." - Shona Hutchinson & Ken Beguely
