Modern apartment design places a much greater emphasis on equipping kitchens to a high standard. Even though residents are likely to eat out often, they also like to entertain at home and are often accomplished home chefs.

Stratum Management, one of Wellington's leading privately owned development companies, has acknowledged the trend with its most recent release the Elevate apartment building at 24 Taranaki Street, designed by the award-winning Wellington firm Architecture +.

Development manager Robert Clemens says the top location, which is close to the waterfront and the buzz of its promenades, cafes and bars, is matched by an ultra-modern interior, finished to a particularly high standard of specification.

"The kitchens, for example, all feature high-end Smeg appliances,"Clemens says. "Stratum has a longstanding relationship with Applico, the distributor of Smeg appliances in New Zealand. We have specified these appliances in our townhouses and apartments for the past 10 years. We particularly appreciate their reliability they have needed almost zero maintenance. And the innovative design and high functionality of Smeg appliances fits with the standard of specification we require."
