Kitchen Studio Design Award 2021
Runner Up - Visual Impact
Showroom - Kitchen Studio Palmerston NorthClient Brief
Moody, functional and wow factor were the words that the clients used while describing their vision.
The black acrylic was used to set the soft jazzy mood and the wood was introduced to create texture and depth to the kitchen while lightening up the overhead cooking space with the warmer tonnes.
The stone benchtop is 20mm thick. We then included a chunky 80mm water fall end to add contrasting weight to the design. Additionally to create balance we added a negative detail into the join.
An integrated fridge was included to ensure the wall with our tall units was sleek and minimalistic. This wall perfectly housed all food storage and small appliances. Including a benchtop pantry nook in the corner to seamlessly join the wall units above the oven to this wall. Allowing the rest of the kitchen to be clear of clutter.
The benchtop runs through behind the pantry doors for durability and it is aesthetically pleasing for when the doors are open. I also included black ventilated drawers at the bottom of the pantry to make that space easily usable for the client.
The peninsula breakfast bar is 1200mm wide.This was to create extra storage in hidden push to open cabinets under the bar stools.
Warm ambient lighting running along the toe kick paired with pendants was used to bring the whole look together.
