Hidden agenda These diverse kitchens all find innovative ways to visually downplay prep and cooking clutter
Gliding on This kitchen offers layers of functionality, with messy prep work tucked away behind sliding glass doors

So the family is large and everyone loves to cook – the best way to design for multiple chefs is to introduce multiple work zones. Here, designer Leon House had the advantage of designing the whole home – giving him free rein on the kitchen layout. The kitchen is at the heart of the living area, so has to work well with its surroundings, and always look its best, says House. “I designed the kitchen in three tiers. The front island, complete with bar fridge, is used for snacking and serving. Behind this, the second island with cooktop is
for cooking and cleaning, and behind this again there’s a prep bench and cabinetry, with a bank of pantry storage to the right.” Two sliding glass doors can be drawn across the middle island – screening mess from visitors, and also from other family members when they are using the kitchen. “Tonally, the black rear cabinets and fridge offer a strong backdrop, contrasting the white, textured stone benches which in turn complement the limed oak surfaces,” says House. “The predominantly pale palette works with the decor and river views.”

Refined air Dual islands, exotic finishes and thoughtful space-planning mean this kitchen delivers in terms of function as well as aesthetics
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
When you build a substantial house intended to look its best for decades to come, how do you address the kitchen? The answer is to give it a matching timeless appeal – and rich surfaces and transitional cabinetry never fall from favour. Such was the approach taken by designer Shirley McFarlane for this kitchen within a new, traditional-look limestone-clad home. “The kitchen had to work with the overall classic interiors but offer modern functionality.” In terms of function, the kitchen is laid out with parallel his and her islands and the cooking zone running along one side wall. The baking
station is directly behind the islands, set on the front of an architectural box insert that conceals a walk-in pantry. Towards the windows, a side buffet holds serving items for the dining table, and there’s also a small outdoor kitchen beyond. “This is not a show kitchen for caterers,” says one of the owners. “What my partner loves about the layout is that, while it’s a large kitchen, everything she needs is within a few steps. The sink, cooktop, and fridge are in a tight triangle while the dishwasher, microwave, toaster and garbage are all in that same space.” Even the freezer and pantry, which are used
less frequently, are only a few steps away. “The other work area outside that triangle is her baking station. This too is efficiently laid out, so everything is in arm’s reach. And she loves the extra customisation of the lowered counter height for baking tasks,” says the owner. The large islands are also ideal for the couple’s children to sprawl out on with homework. “However, it’s the fine detailing and refined surfaces that give the kitchen its personality,” says McFarlane. “The islands are in stainless steel and constructed using a classic inset style – with the doors set into the frame.”
Above left: This kitchen by designer Shirley McFarlane has a transitional feel but is also in keeping with the traditional-style home, For example, the classic crown mouldings complement the ornate coffered ceiling. Frosted glass on internally lit upper cabinets emit a soft glow but avoid the busy look of displayed items. Top and above: Both islands have prep sinks and beverage centres. The slender marble countertops add a contemporary accent.

Previous pages: Stainless steel on the kitchen’s two islands is completed with brass beading. The rear of the kitchen can be accessed from an adjacent hall. The stainless steel appliances add to the emphasis on reflective surfaces. Above: A glass-top dining table and a high-gloss finish on the buffet optimises light play while the wood floor complements the reflective surfaces. The picture window looks through to a sparkling indoor pool.
“The islands also feature intricate brass bead detailing, another traditional element, but perhaps more unusual here, seen with the stainless steel,” says McFarlane And the brass and stainless steel finish isn’t the only exotic surface to catch the eye. “The wall cabinets are built in the modern, frameless style – with shallow panels for a more transitional appeal. These are finished in a stria milk paint which has a translucent quality that is intended to show off the fine brush marks.” Marble splashbacks match the countertops which are in the same rich stone and add to the
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
kitchen’s luminous, reflective quality. However, for interest, the splashback directly behind the baking zone is in a mosaic tile, albeit in the same stone. The buffet, on the outer perimeter of the kitchen, continues the reflective theme – this is finished in a shiny, pearlescent paint. “Naturally it was important for the kitchen to work in well with the wider interior, too. To achieve this, the perimeter cabinetry is topped with detailed crown mouldings that are more in keeping with the ornate coffered ceiling as well as the architectural detailing seen in other areas of the home,” the designer says.

Black and beautiful This dramatic kitchen in a high-spec yet modest holiday home downplays its role as a workspace visually, yet still provides a sculptural focal point
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
Designing a kitchen for a compact holiday home requires addressing some key factors – for example, if it’s part of an open-plan living area it may need to visually downplay its practical use. And, given a getaway’s often limited floor space, multipurpose functionality is also a plus. Architect Evelyn McNamara designed this home and the kitchen in it as a movable feast – a design that could work in any scenic location. The prototype nestles in a grove of tree ferns. The house has solid end walls for privacy and long glass-clad side walls to stay close to nature. The central kitchen, bathroom and laundry pod
is effectively a rectangle within a rectangle – with corridors leading down the sides of the pod to two bedrooms at the back, says McNamara. “Given the modest size of this living and kitchen volume, I wanted the kitchen to recede visually and add a sense of depth to the space.” To this end, most elements are black. The cabinetry fronts are black-stained chipboard, and the island waterfall benchtop and carcass are in black Corian, while the island’s knee recess is in black cedar – a continuation of its use on the exterior cladding and interior end walls. Black, backpainted glass forms the splashback.
Previous pages: This kitchen looks modest in size but is actually 4.7m wide. The black cabinetry, splashback and benchtop surfaces bring depth to the open-plan space. Above left and top: Versatile agenda – the freestanding wood table looks like an extension of the island’s worksurface but it can also be relocated and used as a dining table. Above: Black Corian waterfall edges on the island add a glossy feature.

Top right: Seen up close, the textural nature of the stained chipboard is more apparent. This surface and the black-stained cedar used on the front of the island, the interior end walls of the holiday home, and as the entire external cladding, all call to mind the texture of tree fern trunks outside. Above right: Despite being a modestsized home, all fittings and fixtures are high-specification – this elegant gooseneck tap is a case in point.
While the uniform use of black downplays the kitchen’s functional operation, it does give the design a dramatic sculptural presence. “I set the island closer to the cabinetry than usual, so the island doesn’t float into the lounge area in visual terms,” says the architect. “And in relation to this, we also stepped the upper perimeter cabinets back from the rear benchtop to allow more headroom and space for the chef. “The kitchen never looks cluttered, either, as we included plenty of drawers and cupboards to avoid mess being left on the countertops.” While the kitchen looks compact, in reality
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
it is a generous 4.2m long – ensuring plenty of room for pantry storage. Another feature of the design is its sheer flexibility. The freestanding table can be moved out into the room for dinner parties or remain where it is as an extended worksurface to the island benchtop. A stored television can be placed on the table for viewing, too, and the black kitchen offers the ideal backdrop for watching this. “The kitchen has an emphasis on texture, as well. The black, slightly rough chipboard and band-sawn cedar evoke the feel and tone of the surrounding tree fern trunks,” McNamara says.

Heart of the home This rich-toned kitchen links other spaces and is also a showpiece in its own right
Previous pages: Stainless steel meets stone meets the warmth of wood veneer in this stand-out, architectdesigned kitchen in an upmarket riverside apartment development by Giorgi Exclusive. These pages: The depth of the engineered stone countertop on the island is accentuated by under-bench lighting while the cabinetry wall also has illuminated framing to highlight its warmth and form.
Besides being the hub of the home in terms of cooking and nurturing, a kitchen is also the central linking element for many large interiors. Catching the eye and also leading the eye past it to the views are both key needs in such a design. This light, bright, spacious kitchen provides a seamless transition between luxurious indoor spaces and the expansive outdoor area beyond. Enhanced by the design architect’s rich custom cabinetry design, the soft material palette evokes a warm, inviting atmosphere. The feature timber veneer is the perfect complement to the natural stone flooring while the reflective glass splashback and lacquered doors add depth and interest to the eye-catching design. The back-lit framing to the rear elevation further draws focus and enhances the veneer. A good mix of feature and task lighting ensures the optimum lighting level for any cooking task. Appliances are integrated into the cabinetry, creating a balanced, streamlined backdrop. The linear stainless steel rangehood complements the long lines of the kitchen and adds another textural layer. The stainless steel kickboard makes for a clean break between the stone floor and crisp white cabinetry and also complements the stainless steel detailing on the appliances. In terms of flow, the island – with raised breakfast bar in a complementary stone – allows everyone to be a part of the action. The lower stone top provides plenty of prep space and the differing heights mean everyone can be comfortable when cooking in this kitchen. The inclusion of finger rails for lower drawers and doors are a minimalist, stylish solution. The large double sink is well positioned in the rear benchtop, with ample space either side as well as sufficient distance from the cooktop. With plenty of room to circulate and bench space for more than one chef to work at a time, this family kitchen offers a flexible space for one and all – a perfect blend of form and function.

With family in mind This kitchen by prominent designer Colleen Holder responds to the needs of family and guests – with help from stand-out Smeg appliances These pages: Open, breezy and welcoming, this kitchen designed by Colleen Holder and built by McGregor Kitchens contrasts classic elements such as the subway tile, butler sink and plate rack with gleaming stainless steel appliances from Smeg. The design integrates with the wider space – for example, the adjacent window seat matches the kitchen cabinetry and includes additional storage drawers.
When the client’s brief asks for a traditional kitchen, there are two ways to approach the inclusion of the modern, high-tech appliances – one is to integrate them into the cabinetry; the other is make them stand-out design features. This kitchen by designer Colleen Holder forms part of a spacious new seaside home. The client’s brief was for the kitchen to be classic yet balanced and for it to act as the hub for the open-plan living spaces, Holder says. “It had to be a versatile space – one where the family could gather, or the chef could prep a meal without clutter, or where someone could
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
read a book at the window seat,” says Holder. “In response, we designed the new kitchen predominantly in black and white, with granite on the island and perimeter benchtops and black feature lighting over the island.” Elements such as the butler sink, plate rack, subway tile splashback and colonial glass doors help create the traditional accent requested. “The pantry is home for baking equipment and a microwave, together with a second sink – helping keep the main kitchen looking its best,” Holder says. “And the stainless steel appliances were placed close to benchtops for ease of use.”
Above: At your service – everything is immediately to hand in this kitchen designed to meet the needs of a busy family. Veined black granite countertops work well with the white cabinetry and reflective white splashback. Counter surfaces are wide enough to allow the owners’ children to sprawl out on them with their homework. A gleaming Smeg stainless steel fridge and Smeg freestanding cooker complete the picture of efficiency and style.
The appliances complement the traditional kitchen as well as bringing the functionality needed for the hub of a busy family home. Smeg was the brand of choice, including the Smeg 900 freestanding C9GMXA cooker, a Smeg Powerpack ASCLED in the under-cabinet rangehood and a Smeg SF640S-1 French-door refrigerator. The classic Smeg oven has eight functions, a 126L capacity and offers manual or programmable cooking – along with a double-glazed, thermo-reflective door, and twin fan technology. The quiet, powerful Smeg extractor has twin motors with an extraction rate of 1350m3 per
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
hour at maximum and advanced sensor control to allow automatic operation of the motor. The French-door fridge dispenses ice and cold water right from the door, while the fridge and freezer are frost-free, keeping food fresher. “The kitchen is welcoming and cosy, and meets all the needs of the family,” says Holder.

CONGRATULATIONS EVELYN MCNAMARA ARCHITECTURE WINNER: TIDA NEW ZEALAND ARCHITECT-DESIGNED KITCHEN
Well connected This reinvented and re-located kitchen improves inter-room links, optimises light flow, and shows off the good bones of the original apartment
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
Dealing with tricky, immovable services isn’t the only potential problem when creating a new kitchen in an existing apartment. Often the real issue is addressing any ill-considered previous work that has robbed the unit of its best features. Before starting on the new kitchen for this project, architect Erik Rudolfsson first removed several added-on rooms in an enclosed verandah that had once been open air. This reinstated light flow into the living and dining rooms – the most refined spaces in the unit, says Rudolfsson. “We did have to cater to immovable service points, but that was easily done by concealing
necessary piping behind the toekicks,” he says. Moved from the other side of the unit, the new gleaming white kitchen now fits neatly into the space originally occupied by the verandah. The kitchen looks into both the family and living areas, while a structural pillar hides the cooktop and rangehood from both these spaces. “We had to retain this pillar as it was part of the original main structural wall of the building, with the verandah built out beyond that.” To keep the sense of the original verandah, the dining space beyond has low bench seating and is like an extension of the kitchen itself.
While the adjacent living spaces have been restored with appropriate architectural detailing, the kitchen offers crisp, clean-lined modernity. “Most of the day-to-day function is tucked away behind cabinetry doors at the end. As well as an integrated pantry and appliances, there’s also a small appliance cupboard at the right. The benchtop runs right into this, so you can simply draw a toaster straight out for use.” The prep sink and most bench space runs under the windows, which act as a splashback. The white marble on the benchtops is repeated on the fire surround – tying the areas together.
Facing page, upper and lower: This long, slender apartment kitchen connects with the adjacent living and family spaces in the home. Architraves and the fireplace in the family room were both reinstated. Above: The long view – at the end of the kitchen, banquette seating optimises seating options and light. Given the narrow space, work triangles are tight and convenient. Recessed handles were chosen so they wouldn’t catch on clothing.

Natural appeal The warmth of heart rimu meets the allure of hand-crafted design in this project by artisans RH Cabinetmakers Three things certain in this life are death, taxes ... and the timeless appeal of hand-crafted wood furniture or cabinets. Always choose the right timber for the job – but first find a skilled woodworking company to get everything right first time. This custom heart rimu veneer kitchen and the adjacent pale rimu dividing screen were both crafted by RH Cabinetmakers after discussion with the client’s architect, says managing director Rob Hendrickx. “The design concept, by Lisa Webb of Studio LWA, was for a kitchen that mixed
contemporary and classic elements – and a little bit of Art Deco to tie the design back to the house,” says Hendrickx. “This is a functional kitchen with clean, crisp lines, stainless steel surfaces and labour-saving Blum soft close drawers and hinges.” In aesthetic terms, the classic polished stainless steel bounces light around the room and offers an ideal contrast to the heart rimu surfaces. Another contrast comes from the black lacquered and teal sliding doors in the under- and over-counter cabinets.

A chain is as strong as its weakest link – and the same goes for the world of kitchen design. For an enduring outcome, the cabinetry, layout, and the appliances, all need to be top notch. For this eye-catching project, designer Petty Wang of Beyond Kitchen & Bathroom created a dramatic kitchen with crisp white cabinetry and a contrasting black strip on the peninsular island. The sleek cabinets and work surfaces are accompanied by strong, functional hardware, such as a corner pull-out unit and a lazy susan. The bank of rear perimeter cabinetry offers ample storage while the rounded, glass-fronted
corner cabinet provides an ideal place to display the family’s favourite objects. “High-end, full-featured appliances were an important part of the design, too – these were all Eisno Italian fashion appliances,” says Wang. “For example, the clients had requested ample, optimum wine storage and the spacious Eisno wine cooler was ideal for their requirements. “Overall, the couple was very happy with the look and function of the kitchen, the quality of the build, and the sleek, high-tech appliances.” Beyond Kitchen & Bathroom has been in operation for 12 years. The company is focussed
on using all the latest design concepts and offers a free measure and quote for any project.

Five-star escape Adding an entire floor to a terrace house provided space for this resort-style master suite with a freestanding bath and bamboo screen
Space is often at a premium in a terrace house, but the owners of this Colonial Revival-style house found the perfect solution – they built an extra floor on top. Architect Douglas Rixey says the new addition was part of an extensive wholehouse remodel that has created a very contemporary interior. “The house was completely gutted and rebuilt to suit the owners’ requirements, which included a light and airy master suite on the new top floor. The owners wanted the entire floor to be open plan
with virtually no walls. Because a terrace house only has windows at the front and rear, we introduced a series of skylights to ensure the interior would be flooded with natural light.” The master bathroom was designed in conjunction with Julia Walter of Boffi Georgetown, who says the suite has a resort-style ambience. The high-end effect is reinforced by the wide opening between the bedroom and bathroom, together with the freestanding Iceland tub and a large wet-area shower with pebble wall.

“Even though this is the only suite on the floor, a little privacy was required to screen the bath area from the stairs,” Walter says. “So the architect added an electric glass screen with bamboo trunks – the glass turns smoky at the touch of a button. The Boffi bath filler also features the latest technology with a simplified lever operation to make the water hotter.” A cantilevered vanity in walnut wood veneer continues the contemporary theme. Matching sinks are integrated into the white Corian top and all plumbing is
concealed. Wall-mounted taps retain the sleek, minimalist look. The vanity area also features partially recessed mirrored medicine cabinets, which are positioned so they appear to float. In keeping with the tropical feel, the space is further defined by contrasting textures. These include the pebble wall of the shower. Recessed niches beside the wall are illuminated. The suite also features a glamorous dressing room with mirrored cabinets, a black chandelier and purple window seat.

Warm welcome This ensuite combines a simple, elegant design with natural materials – the result is a pampering retreat in keeping with the rest of the home
A client’s wish list can dictate the look of a bathroom in more ways than one. When a number of elements are requested, it can impact on the space-planning and so have an influence on the overall final aesthetic. For this high-end ensuite, the owners had asked designer Emma Morris for a spacious, stylish, and functional bathroom with all amenities, including a double vanity, under-floor heating, and bidet. The challenge with this bathroom was organising the positioning of the various items on her clients’ wish list – given the
narrow width of the space, says Morris. “We set the freestanding bath in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that we’d designed as part of the wider house fit-out – this created an easy indoor-outdoor link. “Next, we hung the floating mirror and the cantilevered, stained oak vanity with Corian benchtop along the long wall. This enhanced the overall sense of space, while also helping to define the room.” Another feature of the ensuite is the large custom-designed Italian limestone shower, which includes a recessed
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
tiled shelf. Morris’s design team worked closely with the builder and plumber to ensure the shower’s tricky construction was finalised from early on in the piece. “Our overall aim was to bring a feeling of delicacy and warmth to the ensuite,” says Morris. “This was achieved by the choice of natural finishes – from the rich, veined look of the limestone floor and wall tiles to the custom-stained American oak on the double vanity and wall-height cabinetry. Glass doors on the shower add to the overall sense of spaciousness.”

Serene and natural Finely crafted walnut millwork and white marble accents give this master bathroom a sense of a pampering hotel suite
Previous pages and above: This white master bathroom, designed by Arc Seven 1, has limestone tile floors, a dense marble bath plinth and marble countertops. The vanity front and millwork – with crafted display niches – are in different cuts of walnut. Motorised sheers bring privacy, while the raised plinth optimises ocean views for the bather. Mirrors and a reflective shower stall extend the feeling of space and light.
When entry to a master suite is via a walk-in wardrobe between bedroom and bathroom, it’s apt to create a sense of both arrival and privacy. This master suite by designer Jason Saunders of Arc Seven 1, the company that designed the whole house, takes just such a design route. “With the wardrobe space straight ahead at entry, we designed a batten screen that rises and folds back above the doorway – effectively, screening the robe area and creating a dramatic arrival feature at the same time,” Saunders says. The suite offers a private, luxurious retreat with rich walnut millwork. This is repeated on

the vanity front, though in another cut which shows off the wood grain to different effect. “The warmth of the wood is complemented by the coolness of another natural material – the white, veined marble seen on the vanity benchtop and again as the plinth under the bath,” says Saunders. “The marble plinth itself is also raised to optimise sea views for the bath’s occupant.” Faced with a limited footprint, the bathroom has mirror-front wall cabinets and a mirror-clad column at the end – both bouncing natural light. On the other side of the room, the glass-fronted shower also opens to the deck the other way.

Trusted winner A practical feature in this award-winning interior, a handy Hideaway Laundry Hamper makes life easier Taking ‘most trusted brand’ in category is something to be proud of. To manage that feat two years in a row says a whole lot about the product – and the company. Hideaway Bins has achieved this at the Trusted Brand Awards 2014 and 2015.

It fits with the clean, contemporary look and helps keep this multi-use space pristine.

Moulded handles make removing the hamper easy,” says Bertelsen. Set low in the frame to allow for overloading, the Laundry Hamper has a solid base to protect it from drips and damage. And the hamper’s robust steel frame easily carries the weight of wet washing. “The Hideaway Laundry Hamper is ideal for the bathroom, laundry or wardrobe – it fits snugly behind a 450mm door,” says Bertelsen. “There’s also a new version specifically designed for laundry chutes.” For details of the comprehensive range of Hideaway Bins now available, phone (09) 426 7456, www.hideawaybins.co.nz search: hideaway or 47661 at trendsideas.com Right: A Hideaway Laundry Hamper completes this multi-purpose space within the Interior of the Year 2015 winner by Natalie Du Bois Design.

Open hearted Whether glamour hillside residence or high-end apartment, all these homes blur the lines between indoors and out
Theatrical presence Like a royal box in a grand theatre, this home arcs around to optimise views and bring privacy from the sides – and the house has plenty of drama of its own
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
When a property has a dramatic outlook, be it a glittering cityscape or lush tropical garden, it makes sense to design a home that opens up to the setting – effectively making the scenery part of the ambience. This glamorous residence, created by Landry Design Group, sits high above the Sunset Strip – looking to downtown Los Angeles one way and Santa Monica the other. The home is a match for the setting, and the sense of drama starts on arrival. Approaching from the motor court, guests are greeted by an elegant, playful
composition of forms and materials, says Landy Design associate William Mungall. “The gently curved stucco and Italian limestone-clad walls provide privacy from the street while the gleaming glass stair tower acts a little like a guiding lantern,” he says. “A backlit bronze-finish screen frames the central large glass entry door which offers visitors a glimpse of the city light show to be enjoyed from inside.” The house is built over three levels, stepped down the steep hillside, with the bottom level opening up to the rear yard.

Previous pages, above, and facing page lower: The hillside home is an entertainer’s dream. Guests arrive at the mid-level and descend via curving stairs to the double-height living spaces. These open to the stepped landscaping and pool. The owners wanted the kitchen and the bar area to the rear to be on a more intimate scale.

The front door opens directly on to the central level with immediate views over the double-height living spaces below. A winding staircase leads down to the entertaining level in an architectural gesture worthy of the movie Sunset Boulevard. On the mid-level, two large guest suites are separated by the entry.

inside on an upper side wall in the living area, where the volume drops to one level to enclose an adjacent outdoor living area. The limestone’s custom pattern is an interpretation of the texture of bamboo. “Towards the back of the space, a long, curved Venetian plaster wall echoes the shape of the home. This signature curve becomes a theme of the house and is repeated in various areas, from exterior and interior walls to the bar island, pool and hard landscaping,” says Mungall. The highly polished plaster wall also
divides the grand public space from the more intimate spaces to the rear. In general terms, limestone and oak panelling provide the finishes in these smaller rooms. The wine bar, theatre, spa, and service quarters are all more private – being tucked into the hillside – while the massive great room with dining area has operable glass panels opening to the sheltered outdoor entertainment spaces, garden terraces, and the swimming pool. To one side, the single-height kitchen has a wood ceiling and back-painted glass
cabinetry that reflects the cityscape. The owners wanted the eat-in kitchen and family area to feel more intimate than the adjacent great room. The sheltered outdoor living room, on the other side of the great room, appears just as lavish as the indoor spaces. “Perched high on the third level, the master bedroom, ensuite and office all have breath-taking views. Designed with retractable glass walls, all these rooms open onto the long terrace,” says Mungall. The bedroom also has a skylight with
mirrored sides to maximise light. This can open to the skies at the push of a button while motorised screens can be drawn when darkness is required. The glass walls can be cloaked with motorised sheers and block-out curtains, for shade and privacy. The terrace, with comfortable seating and flickering firepit, provides a private outdoor room. Metal screens, a repeat of the finish that frames the front door, bring shade and create light play on the interior. Several green strategies are employed throughout the residence.

Natural attraction This contemporary home connects to its tropical garden environment via an expansive rear living area and private courtyards Sometimes ideal locations don’t seem quite so perfect when it comes to actually building on them. Negotiating the idiosyncrasies of the land can be a major part of an architect’s brief. The site for this home by Hilary Scully of Architecture Smith + Scully is a case in point. Nestled into a newly sub-divided suburban plot, the land has a flow path running through the centre of it. The house had to be raised above this to allow water to pass underneath without impediment or causing damage, says Scully. “We achieved this with a suspended concrete garage floor slab and timber pile construction.
“However, beyond the flow path – towards the back of the home – we were able to step the floor level down. With the ceiling remaining at the same height, this achieved a higher stud for the large rear living pavilion and created a direct rear deck-to-ground connection.” Elsewhere, connections to the lush gardens were made via raised decks and boardwalks. As this is an inner-city site with several close neighbours, the sheltered side decks provide private outdoor rooms. The clients had wanted to connect with the tropical garden and enjoy the sun from several areas in relative privacy.
Facing page: Character strengths – the exterior of this house by Architecture Smith + Scully contrasts black, battened fibre cement with rich red cedar. The garage door is detailed to not read as a door on approach. Above and following pages: At the rear, a spacious living-kitchen-dining pavilion opens up to the tropical garden environment.

search | save | share at trendsideas.com
In terms of layout, the home’s ground floor has a guest suite and garage at the front and then pinches in at the middle via the two side courtyards. This core area has the wine cellar and laundry. The design opens up to the rear, with large sliders pulling back to connect the large living-kitchen-dining pavilion to the garden. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, an ensuite, main bathroom, a private lounge, and a study. For aesthetics, the owners wanted a sharp, contemporary look. Responding to this, the house has strong, complementary cladding finishes – the cool of black fibre cement sheet with
vertical battens meets the warmth of red cedar vertical weatherboards. “Despite its relatively modest size, at 300m2, the house feels much larger. This is due to vistas through the interior and long views out to the garden and sea, framed by picture windows.” In addition, having courtyards step in on both sides maximises light flow on the interior. “The focus on natural light and multiple external views allows the owners to feel very connected to the natural world,” says Scully. In terms of interior colours, a vibrant red front door greets visitors and they see the same
red on the kitchen splashback in the pavilion. “Generally, the interior is in natural tones with walnut flooring and cabinetry. And there’s a feature floating staircase in the same wood. This is accentuated with LED lights rebated on the underside of the treads,” says Scully. Energy efficiency was another design focus for the owners – a large gas fireplace has ducts that run beneath the floor, heating the home. The house is future-proof, too. The ground floor guest suite is designed with extra wide openings to the entry hall and this could be used as a master bedroom further down the line.
Above: The main upstairs bathroom has a large-format porcelain tile with the look of marble. The shower and bath area take up the width of the room. The black cabinetry seen here, as with black joinery and wood surfaces through the home, complements the lush outdoor environment. The basin faucets, shower and bath hardware and glass shower stall all contribute to the crisp, modern aesthetic.

This show home by Landmark Homes – the Karapiro – is a case in point. Besides stand-out curb appeal, the house has flowing interiors, a separate lounge, a designer kitchen and a sheltered outdoor room. The cladding is finished in Resene Half Masala, a sedate grey well-suited to the traditional weatherboard look. To complement this tone, the soffits, eaves and
fascias are all in the contrasting Resene Triple Alabaster – Resene Alabaster is a near white with a light blackened edge. The Karapiro’s interiors are as refined as they are spacious and again the choice of colours plays a part in their ambience. Here, Landmark went for subtle tones that accentuate the airy feel of the rooms and also provide a neutral backdrop that will work well with a variety of client tastes. The main walls are in Resene Double White Pointer throughout – a warmed up neutral tending towards beige. The doors,

Refined approach For this project, the homeowner wanted a consistent sculptural feel for the window and door hardware in his new home – Chant came to the party with its hand-crafted Axis range Above: Touching impression – Chant Hardware provided the comprehensive door and window Axis hardware range, finished in copper, for this high-end home in a lush, natural setting. This pull handle on one of the home’s many external and internal sliders provides a taste of the sculptural, matching hardware seen throughout the home. Chant is based in Auckland, New Zealand, but its custom hardware products are seen in all the right home projects here, in Australia, and further afield.
Like the refined jewellery or dress watch that completes your evening wear, so your door and window hardware will reflect the calibre of your home – great design is always in the details. For this contemporary project, the owners approached dedicated architectural hardware specialist Chant to find the best possible choice for all their window and door hardware. The doors and handles had to have a consistent look throughout and be high on function and low on upkeep, says company owner Graham Chant. “And they came to the right place. Our design team meets with architects, designers or

specifiers to find the right handle and hardware for a project in terms of aesthetics and function. “Here, they wanted a polished copper finish and the same style of handle used throughout. And our popular Axis range was the perfect fit.” The Axis hardware supplied by Chant in the warm, weathered metal included pull handles for the external and internal sliders, casement fasteners and telescopic stays for the windows, as well as flush pulls for internal cavity sliders and lever handles for the hinge doors. “Axis is one of our most popular lines – although we also specialise in custom designs
that respond directly to the needs of a particular project. Here, for example, we created a custom patch fitting for the glass entry doors.� A family-owned company, Chant Hardware thrives on this kind of upmarket design project.

Well connected For this renovation with a French country flavour, design professional Yellowfox has created a refined, welcoming interior Above and facing page top: This Yellowfox design connects elements through the home. For example, a pendant light in the kitchen links to another in the entry, and warm, natural tones feature throughout. Facing page lower: The master bedroom has a wallpaper accent wall as well as a studded velvet headboard and customised co-ordinated bed-end ottomans by Lisa Marcellus from the Furnishing Room. The powder room has a character floral wallpaper.
A lifestyle home comes with its own design agenda, not least an easy indoor-outdoor flow. This renovation is an excellent case in point. The owners asked Yellowfox designer Vikki Gorton to bring a French country accent to the theme. And as it’s on an idyllic lifestyle block, with elegant grounds and gardens, the theme needed to connect through to the outdoors. Natural-look vinyl planking floors run through the home’s entrance, kitchen and dining spaces, while rich, dark-hued wool carpet brings warmth to the living area and bedrooms. Most interior walls are in restful whites and creams.

The kitchen is a mix of Italian veneer and gloss cabinetry with an engineered stone bench. Introducing shutters to all windows further enhances the French country theme and gently controls the light through the interior.

Past meets present This reinvented terrace house respects its Heritage Conservation Area restrictions, while being transformed into a light, modern family home The constrictions of classic forms can often bring out the best creatively in artists and poets. And similar can be said for architects. Having to work in with heritage building guidelines can be just the starting point for design innovation. The owner’s wish list to designer Charles Alexiou for this four-level terrace house rethink was quite long. While retaining the protected front facade, existing roofline and the ceiling heights, he was to reconstruct the damaged rear facade and open up the interiors to light and views. Bedrooms and bathrooms were also to be reconfigured and expanded and a new kitchen
introduced in the heart of the home. Other work included reconsidering a section of the staircase and adding a pool, spa and garden to the rear. Outside, the front facade was restored and painted while the rear face was reinvented in a modern composition with broad window openings, using grey aerated concrete, says Alexiou. “I designed fins around the wood-framed windows to bring visual and acoustic privacy. The small Juliet balconies to one side also had to be retained and integrated into the design.” Working with the immovable roofline, the designer expanded the existing dormer to again

Above and facing page, top: A result of earlier remodelling work, the back rooms step down at the rear. The designer retained this setup to preserve zoned ceiling height limitations.

capture more light and views. Other exterior work included adding the pool, spa and garden to the rear, with the updated carport beyond. The interior remodel, however, was even more comprehensive. As the house slopes down from the street, barely visible basement windows seen at the front become part of a full ground level at the rear. The kitchen at this level was removed and relocated above to the first floor, freeing up space for an expansive games room and a larger informal lounge with a generous indoor-outdoor connection out to the pool and garden at the rear. A stair landing was also

added at this ground level, replacing an unsafe, overly steep section of the staircase. Now better positioned a floor up on the first level, the contemporary new kitchen is central to day-to-day family life with easy connection to the reworked dining area and lounge. “As a result of earlier work, the back rooms of the home are set down a few steps – and we retained this tricky configuration to preserve heritage ceiling height limitations. Playing this up, we created a visual link between the lounge and new kitchen using decorative breeze bricks – allowing light to flow through the rooms.”
On the second floor, a sitting room was reworked to add a bathroom for the existing bedrooms on this level and a welcome study, or parent zone – there are six children in the family. “On the top floor we delved further under the roofline to gain more space for the expanded and reconfigured master suite. To achieve wardrobe space, we faced the bed looking inwards but added mirrors on the wardrobe that reflect the city views – capturing these from the bed was another client request,” says Alexiou. “The facade of this house remains almost the same, but nearly everything behind that has changed.”

Privacy and privilege This dynamic home is ideal for family or empty nesters with spacial separation a feature – its fluid indoor-outdoor design connects with nature, not neighbours

The home you buy should be the one you love, but looking to potential resale is also important. A savvy developer takes the long view – designing a house that can be used quite differently by different owners. This house, designed by architectural firm A2 Studio together with developer PHI Group, is a good example. Joycelyne Ghee, of PHI Group, says the home is ideal for family, with upstairs and downstairs living areas and plenty of outdoor space. “However, it’s also suitable for empty nesters who want to live on the one level.”
Above left: Inner landscape – this home by architect Ernie Lau creates its own outdoor environment of lawn, pool and side courtyard. The bottom-heavy facade – brick at ground level, giving way to metal and cedar cladding above – is designed to give a sense of anchoring to the land. Top and above: From the street, only the home’s articulated upper-cladding components are visible. A series of narrow timber external battens give privacy for the master bedroom. Left: Fixed shutters shelter the master bedroom from the early morning sun.

Besides responding to different living options, the home has a range of features to appeal to any owner, says Ernie Lau. “Built on a corner site, the high-fenced home has an internal focus – much like a Japanese courtyard house. The character exterior alternates warm cedar with cool metal cladding – creating visual interest.” These materials are complemented by black brick on the lower-level – not seen from the street due to the privacy fence. “The idea was that the brick treatment grounded the home in visual terms, with
lighter wood and metal introduced above.” On entering past the tranquil koi pond, guests and owners step into a large openplan living and entertaining volume that includes dining, kitchen and family areas. Taking a generous bite into this dramatic space, an outdoor courtyard brings light into the heart of the home. With ceilingheight sliding doors on three sides, this sheltered outdoor living space can merge seamlessly with the interior. There are also large sliders on the front wall of the living area. These connect the

Above: The master bedroom commands open yet private views of the leafy suburban surroundings. The master ensuite is through the door on the left. To the right, you can look through into the second lounge and one of the other three bedrooms on this level. External battens and those at the top of the stairway are echoed by the vertical wood battens on the masterbed beadhead. While the floors are wood downstairs, most of the upstairs features a rich yet hard-wearing carpet in a neutral tone. Mirrored drawer fronts on the bedside cabinets add to the bedroom’s glam factor.
interiors to the front yard and the pool deck on this side of the home. The design efficiently dovetails its lifestyle elements into the tricky fan-shaped corner site – in a home that that effectively “turns its back on the street” says Lau. “The finer points of the interior layout are an exercise in efficient space planning, too,” he says. “A large scullery screens clutter from the kitchen while the kitchen is two steps from dining and living areas. The laundry is behind and to one side of the kitchen. The bedroom at this level

could be ideal for elderly homeowners who want to live on the ground floor, or for stay-over children or grandchildren. It’s set to one side, near the double garage, offering privacy while still being close to the fridge or bathroom.” Upstairs, is a second lounge, with extended leafy views through the void created by the stepped-in courtyard. The cut-in void also provides for a neat separation between the master suite on one side and the bathroom and three more bedrooms on the other.
“Everything is well connected in this design,” says Lau. “In the master suite, for example, a small study is tucked in behind the bedhead – late-night inspiration no longer means going downstairs to a distant corner to get to your computer.” Joycelyne Ghee also had a significant part in the home’s eclectic interior design, which extends the sense of individuality already seen on the articulated facade. “Imagine an interior created by a homeowner who is worldly and widely travelled – as empty nesters may have
been – collecting an art piece while in Europe and something else from Asia,” says the designer. “Touches include wideplank wood floors downstairs, accent wallpapers with an exotic feel, a dramatic upstairs line of floor-to-ceiling battens defining the stair, and a copper-hued pendant over the kitchen island. And this sculptural light is just one of the many pops of colour that complement the white and grey decor.” The home also has several sustainable or green strategies, such as cross ventilation.
Top: A compact study space is tucked in behind the bed in the master bedroom with the desk forming part of the headboard on the right. Above: The bathroom is one of the most luxurious aspects of the home with marble-look porelain wall tiles, and floor tiles with the appearance and texture of black slate. Twin vanities are included for convenience while a skylight – one of two in the home – ensures the room is flooded with light.
