Wanaka Award Kitchen

Another award winning kitchen by Ingrid Geldof Desgin The client wanted a semi commercial feel, so a large stainless steel oven was chosen with feature red knobs to add a pop of colour.  To ensure a simple material palate, satin black granite was selected for the island top.  The custom made rangehood allows for adequate lighting over the back bench while functioning as very strong but quiet extraction for the large cooker, its stainless steel finish ties in with the bench tops and cooker below.  The integrated fridges complete with wine fridge provide a sophisticated enhancement and practical solution.  The scullery is a utility space for everyday use, however it also doubles a service space when entertaining guests and larger family groups. It includes a steam oven, warming drawer and full sized dishwasher and sink. The kitchen is central to the main living room with magical views overlooking farm land towards mountains.  All joinery was to be sophisticated, dark and masculine to contrast with the rough, pale textures of the bagged schist feature wall.  The Belgium Bluestone tiled flooring was selected for its naturally aged look, and was also used for the splash back.
