Twice as good F&P appliances in beach house
New beach house with F&P appliances
Living for a long time in two caravans on site ensured that the owners of this new Matarangi beach house were keen to reward themselves with a good-sized, well-equipped kitchen.
Christina and Malcolm Box say the family often has extra people staying, so it made sense to design a kitchen that would be large enough for several people to work at once.
Consequently the house, which was designed by Christina, features a large living area, with one entire wall given over to the kitchen and two long islands.
"We could see we essentially needed two of everything," she says. "One side of the kitchen is the main food preparation area, while the other is used for drinks, including coffee making.
"Because I am a fan of Fisher & Paykel appliances, I specified these wherever possible. I have always found the service to be unsurpassed. The appliances include a 76cm-wide double oven. The extra width easily gives us enough room for four casserole dishes, two on two shelves, and we still have the second oven as well."
Christina Box also selected two Fisher & Paykel Double DishDrawer¢ dishwashers, a 900mm, and standard 600mm model.
"They do all get used when we have a full house," she says. "I love the fact that I don't have to bend to load and unload the dishes. We have a matching CoolDrawer¢ multi-temperature refrigerator drawer. This is kept at a set temperature to chill fruit and vegetables perfectly."
The kitchen also has a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and freezer with stainless steel trim kit so it appears flush with the wall. The 1200mm canopy rangehood and the washer and dryer in the laundry are also by Fisher & Paykel.
Other special features of the kitchen include three Aquatica Zento sink mixer coil taps, and textural wood panelling to the fronts of the island.
