Matisse wins 2022 TIDA New Zealand Imported Kitchen of the Year

For this new luxury penthouse in a premium location, the kitchen needed to be a showstopper – an entertainer's dream displaying the highest quality finishes.

It also needed to integrate seamlessly with the large open-plan living space, which included an awkwardly positioned building riser within the line of the cabinetry.

The TIDA judges noted how the decision to extend the American walnut Arclinea cabinetry along the entire length of the back wall provided the perfect solution to these requirements.

White lacquered underbench cabinetry in the kitchen work area, contrasts with the expanse of timber, while an adjacent scullery provides additional, out-of-sight storage and benchspace.

The timber cabinetry also extends on the perpendicular wall into the living area, with contrast here provided by the bronzed glass doors, which reflect the penthouse's impressive water views.

Bronzed glass was also used for the backsplash and for two panels positioned symmetrically above the cooktop in the back wall work area.
