Solid-built cabinetry found throughout the home was constructed by Good Kitchens
Having a focus on traditional artisanal values means Eden Homes often teams up with similar-minded companies. Director Rob Dines says Good Kitchens' use of quality materials and craftsmanship is central to their long-time collaboration.
Put simply, Good Kitchens never cuts corners. All cabinetry for this home is built in kauri frames with elements of American oak even when the wood is coated in several layers of paint or lacquer. Good Kitchens uses high-end wood options because they won't lose their structural or surface integrity over time. Where they are exposed the grain is attractive and the wood tone rich.
In terms of construction, all the cabinetry pieces, vanities, storage units and even the entertainment unit for the home are built with traditional joinery techniques. Joints are mitred or dove tailed, and all doors have solid frames.
Rob Dines says this level of craftsmanship and the resulting solidly built pieces were appropriate to the masonry-constructed residence.
"While the traditionally built pieces by Good Kitchens might require more skill and take longer to complete, the results will speak for themselves in the years to come," says Dines. "The same applies whether it is the kitchen cabinetry pieces or the vanities in the ensuite, powder room and guest bathroom."
Good Kitchens has worked on the majority of Eden Homes' projects over recent years. Knowing the design-and-build company's values and style preferences speeds up the cabinetry maker's solutions for any given home. With Eden Homes' variety of house plans, and custom options available, this foreknowledge makes a valuable difference.
