Located in the heart of Ponsonby, this home is an oasis from city bustle. The owner requested a modern, black kitchen to replace the existing tired one from the 1980s. The challenge was to deliver a design that would fit in to the room without moving any walls, accommodate a thoroughfare to the rear yard and fit a wide array of cooking apparatus and ceramics. Subtle references to early kitchen styles such as open drawer fronts and shelving and the incorporation of lighter timber integrate this modern kitchen in to its wider villa context.
