When the owners of this country house near Dunedin planned a new kitchen, they chose to retain the traditional character of their older villa.

The couple presented the design team at Kitchen Focus with lots of clippings of ideas they wished to incorporate, says director Spencer Bremner.

"The kitchen needed to fit with their country lifestyle and the era of the house," he says. "Consequently, we introduced new lacquered tongue-and-groove cabinetry to enhance the look, and teamed this with an extra-long benchtop in stained and oiled macrocarpa. The cabinetry provides ample pantry storage, wine cubbies, display cabinets and shelving. We also added a bench seat beneath a window."

The piéce de resistance, however, is the decorative splashback, which features pressed tin that has been coated in a clear lacquer so that it reflects the light.

Kitchen Focus also built the cabinetry and installed the kitchen. Bremner says the company's highly experienced team of designers and craftspeople can create all kinds of cabinetry and undertakes work throughout the lower South Island.
