Detail by Davinia Sutton wins 2022 TIDA New Zealand Designer Kitchen of the Year

Located in the central point of the open plan living and dining zone of a beachside holiday home, this bold kitchen is designed to accommodate both daily functionality as well as the requirements of frequent entertaining.

The galley format kitchen takes advantage of the ample space available and extends into a working pantry beyond, offering the luxury of separating food preparation from the main space when entertaining.

In the main kitchen, the cooking and prep zone is on the back wall, and incorporates a hidden breakfast pantry and integrated refrigeration.

These tall elements are grouped together to retain a modern aesthetic, in keeping with the home's striking modern architecture.

In the foreground, the main island benchtop waterfalls to the timber floor on the side and front faces, providing a solid contrast in form, and anchoring it within the space.

Meanwhile, a raised timber bench provides privacy from the living area and adds a warm natural element to the design, drawing the kitchen into its surroundings

The TIDA judges felt this kitchen displays a beautiful balance of colour, light and texture, enhancing the space and creating a bespoke kitchen that is both sophisticated and rustic.

Congratulations to Davinia Sutton – winner of the 2022 TIDA New Zealand Designer Kitchen of the Year.
