22. Remuera

When our clients embarked on a major renovation of their stately villa, the brief was to keep things authentic. Kitchen designer, Wayne Church, kept the look and feel classic, taking style cues from the villa itself, with just a few styling nods to modernity. Shaker-style fronts and panels, cup handles, plinth base on the kitchen island, and marble tops and splash back are timeless. Notwithstanding the classic look, under the hood everything is 21st century, with moisture resistant board throughout, durable polyurethane paint, and Fisher and Paykel appliances.
