THE YEAR-LONG KITCHEN
A sliding cutting board is one of the more unusual features of the kitchen, which glides across the stainless steel countertop. The black bar above allows homeowner Rosie Holt to hang dried herbs, which complements the pasta station. A floating shelf and benchtop look are achieved thanks to a clever steel frame system. The organic-shaped bowl is from shop.yourhomeandgarden.co.nz.
COLOURS OF THE WORLD
Much of the cabinetry is made from recycled rimu. The colour palette of the kitchen is inspired by the native bush, from the lichen-hue of the tiles to the pōhutukawa red of the steel beam. Industrial designer Tom Lopes created custom lamp shades mixed with black sand as a nod to the west coast.
Love at first sight is so rare, it’s taken on almost mythic proportions.
