Japanese inspired kitchen design renovation for a Devonport villa. Runner up in the Auckland chapter of the 2022 NKBA Excellence in Design Awards.
Designed by Marianne Gailer
I decided to draw on the Japanese theme by taking in their surrounding furniture and art. The colours of the leathered Titanium Granite in the kitchen island started my colour scheme. The mitred island ‘block’ provides the required bench space and sits in proportion to the open-plan living.
The Tasmanian Blackwood cabinetry, crown cut and mismatched, gives a natural, organic feel. A fully integrated fridge and under bench fridge drawer are essential to achieving the desired result.
