Landmark Homes North Shore/Rodney wins 2023 TIDA New Zealand Group Home Builder Kitchen of the Year

Designed as a spec home, this property was aimed at professional empty nesters who wanted a home close to the city and the beach, was easy to lock up and leave, and was stylish and sophisticated.

And those requirements particularly applied to the kitchen, which had to have visual impact, yet appeal to a variety of potential buyers.

High-end finishes such as veneer and porcelain were selected for being functional and very hard wearing, while adding to the visual attraction.

The fridge and dishwasher were integrated into the cabinetry, to give a cleaner look, while having a built-in coffee machine meant more available bench space, plus a more practical height for frequent use.

The TIDA judges noted how the use of the cedar battens – and the way they could be lit up – created strong and balanced highlights that soften the more masculine and moody feel of the dark cabinetry.
