Sculpted into a bold island block, the Viridian is then encased within yet another equally artistic, dark stone frame forming the breakfast bar. So as not to upstage the harbour and city views from the kitchen, the same dark stone graces the sink bench and walls, providing an elegant textural backdrop.Metal-infused charcoal lacquer was specified for the kitchen joinery, while oyster floor tiles soften the confident palette.The cabinetry also houses a dedicated wine chiller and bar, accessed by a pocket door to reveal a surprising splash of vibrant Resene Jalapeno red. The TIDA judges were impressed with how the designer has handled the combination of such strong patterns and colours to produce a cohesive and opulent design that’s perfectly in tune with the owners’ tastes.
