Your new bathroom - whether it’s a revamp of an existing bathroom or a brand-new design, choosing how it will look and function can seem a daunting task.

There is a lot to think about - what tapware styles will suit, how much flow do you want from your shower head, where should the towel racks be placed, would you prefer the vanity to have a recessed or abovecounter basin, how much do you want to spend.

The MiCO Bathroom Book 2015 presents options for all these considerations, and all the other elements, hidden or apparent, that will ensure your new bathroom meets your requirements and fulfills your dreams.

WINNER: ARCHITECT-DESIGNED MASTER SUITE CAAHT Studio Architects, Auckland

Makeover magic Keeping an exposed brick chimney intact not only melded the traditional with the modern in this renovation, it also helped meet heritage requirements Traditional villa-style homes in older areas where there is a conservation overlay can make renovations challenging.

But heritage requirements can also turn potential negatives into positives as this project demonstrates.

Architect Chris Holmes of CAAHT Studio Architects says the master suite was probably a bedroom or living area in the original house – it has a

double-sided fireplace on an internal wall.

“At some stage in the 1980s the fireplace was exposed and painted white. Because the local heritage requirements demand that the top of the chimney remains unaltered on the outside of the house, it was easier to keep the fireplace, than rebuild a new structure within the roof to support the bit on top.”

Holmes says the space was gutted and the white paint soda-blasted off the bricks.

“The bricks have a visual warmth and a rough texture that introduce a rustic feel.

This contrasts the sleek, contemporary look of the bank of cabinets that line one entire wall of the bedroom. The owners, who worked closely with our team on the design, enjoy the juxtaposition and the

sense of history provided by the fireplace.”

To retain the proportions of the room visually, the cabinets stop short of the ceiling and there is LED uplighting above.

“The eye reads the room as being the size of the original space,” says Holmes. “This means the symmetry is maintained in respect of the centred positions of both the fireplace and the bay window.”

In the ensuite bathroom, the other side of the fireplace incorporates glass shelving, which offers another juxtaposition of light versus heavy and modern versus traditional.”

Here both light and space have been maximised. A low ceiling compresses the entry, containing the area around the vanity. But a new shaft that extends up to a skylight on the gabled roof explodes the rest

of the space visually, creating a light-filled void above the shower.

“The skylight relieves an otherwise very tight space,” Holmes says. “This end of the room is bathed in natural light by day, and by night you can see the stars. It is further defined by a change in the wall tiles. Subway tiles signal the shower as a wet room and reinforce the verticality.”

High quality craftsmanship

WINNER: ARCHITECT-DESIGNED BATHROOM Fraser Cameron Architects, Taupo

Past meets present With its cedar panelling and pedestal vanity, this new bathroom in an early 1920s bungalow references tradition, but keeps the look fresh and modern When a bungalow is nearly a century old, you can be sure it’s gone through a few changes in its time.

The family bathroom in this bungalow built around 1920 was last remodelled 32 years ago, by renowned architect Paris Magdalinos. Fast forward three decades and it was time for a total makeover.

The homeowner called in Fraser Cameron Architects to

reconfigure the bathroom to better suit his requirements.

Belinda Ellis, the practice interiors consultant, says a new bath was on the list – to replace one that had been removed in the previous renovation.

“The owner also wanted a better quality of light,” Ellis says. “And it was important to respect the style of the bungalow, which features a lot of native timbers. It also has an

Art Deco heritage, as a result of work done following the Napier earthquake in 1931.

“Our design intention was to create a handsome, yet functional family bathroom, achieved through careful detail and a masculine palette.”

Oiled western red cedar, in irregular-depth shiplap, was chosen for its visual warmth, texture and similarity to native timbers in the house.

Preceding pages: Natural light floods this remodelled bathroom in an older-style bungalow. The semifreestanding walls help to separate the wet area shower from the bathtub, vanity and toilet. The walls are clad in grey finger mosaics, as is the tub surround.

“The cedar forms a band around the top of the room, which is like an inverted version of the way wood panelling was used originally around the base of a room,” says Ellis.

“Uplighting enhances the visual warmth of the timber.”

Cedar also forms a cabinet and towel box, both of which are recessed into the wall.

tiles, which line the vanity wall and the wet area shower. Semifreestanding walls separate the shower from the toilet, vanity and bathtub are clad in grey finger mosaic tiles.

“The tiler also laid mosaics around the end of the tub, cutting each tile individually to accommodate the curve,” says the architect. “Both the tiler and builder had to work with the fact that nothing was

square, as is often the case in an older home.”

A pared-back pedestal vanity with a chrome stand offers another link to the past, but it is teamed with contemporary tapware and a modern, wall-hung toilet.

An existing tall window, designed by Paris Magdalinos to frame a Norfolk pine view, extends to the ceiling bringing in plenty of natural light.

4. Studio 106 Architect The design of this bathroom was implemented to provide a new taste

of contemporary that would contrast and respect the classic New Zealand villa. The major challenge was to work around a chimney that had to be retained. It has now been enclosed, resulting in a series of alcoves that accommodate the various functional zones of this ensuite.

Divide and conquer This master suite in a contemporary new home combines texture, natural materials and feature surfaces to dramatic effect

search | save | share at trendsideas.com

An architect looks at an interior project from many angles. As well as ensuring a bedroom and bathroom work well together, the design might celebrate the good bones of the home – or even provide a nod to the house next door.

This master suite does just that. It forms part of a contemporary house with a warehousestyle sawtooth roof. The high, raking ceiling over the bedroom and bathroom references this iconic roof form and prompted architect Joe Chindarsi to keep the room as one space.

“Retaining the one, large volume made it easier to appreciate the ceiling form and make

the wider aesthetic connection,” says Chindarsi.

“So for privacy, we introduced a central cabinet-vanity element as a divider. Up-lighting in this freestanding wall further accentuates the sloping ceiling and provides ambient light to both areas.”

The design optimises light play between the rooms and creates a sense of space.

Materials and textural contrast were an important part of the design,” says Chindarsi.

“For example, the Tasmanian blackwood cabinetry brings warmth to the space, and plays off the cooler stone and concrete elements.”

Above left: Polished plaster walls, concrete floors and a freestanding vanity wall with rich wood cabinetry, combine to create a masculine yet cocooning aesthetic for this master bedroom and bathroom.

Above right: The white floating vanity is underlit, adding to the sense of space. Glass walls on the shower ensure both brass mosaic surfaces are seen together. Strip lighting over the vanity is echoed by an embedded strip of light over the bed in the adjoining room.

“The floors are concrete, while black-flamed and brushed granite on the walls and floors of the shower provide a textural, non-slip surface.”

“Lighting is also integrated into a niche in the shower. This highlights a brass mosaic tile that lines the back of the niche, providing accents of colour, texture and scale. The same tile is seen on the vanity splashback, and the use of brass is continued in the basin mixer and spout, integrating these elements.”

The mosaics are also a reference to the Art Deco style of the neighbouring Californian bungalow at the front of the property, as are the

Bianco Carrara tiles lining the sides of the niche.

The island bath and Boffi air ceiling fans act as organic sculptural elements within the space.

In addition, sheer curtains and the light play from laser-cut operable screens in the bedroom help to soften the aesthetic. more images of this kitchen 34543 at trendsideas.com similar projects search tida bathrooms

Looking back This contemporary bathroom, set within a heritage space, reflects its surroundings A heritage renovation comes with its own set of rules, not least the need to acknowledge and celebrate what’s gone before. A refit that effectively extends the period style is one way forward, while another option is to contrast the traditional with the strikingly contemporary.

When the team at Architect Prineas designed this master bathroom in an 1890s Grand Italianate terrace home, they took both approaches.

The brief was to create a modern ensuite and walk-in robe in the original two-bedroom space, while at the same time respecting the character of the terrace, says principal Eva-Marie Prineas.

Left and above: For this master bathroom project by Architect Prineas, a contemporary, mirror-clad pod is inserted into a heritage space.

This plays up the contrast between old and new and celebrates the period detail in myriad reflections at the same time.

Above: The floorplan shows the pod insertion in grey. There are several entry points into the space.

Above right: Period details include the restoration of the original fireplace.

Facing page: A chamfered shaft with a skylight defines the shower space and helps to emphasise the insertion.

“For example, the original fireplace was to be retained. Another requirement, typical of a heritage project, was the ability for the changes to be reversed so the room can be converted back into a bedroom in the future, if required.

“Practical requirements included two basins, a large shower and ample storage.”

To achieve all of the above, the team designed the bathroom as a central pod insertion clad in mirrors. The mirrored surfaces make the bathroom disappear to the eye, and also reflect and effectively double the period detail all around.

“The basin wall is completely mirrored so

the fireplace behind is reflected and celebrated,” says Prineas.

All-new materials were selected for their ability to not detract from the original fabric – so the bathroom’s colour is provided by the original materials, including the floorboards.

A feature of the space is a large skylight that exactly fits the dimensions of the shower.

“The skylight includes a shaft that descends through the level above. This is chamfered, much like a funnel, to create natural light variance.”

The generous 2m x 2m pod contains both the toilet and shower. To keep the interior

clean-lined and minimalist, tiles and grout lines were avoided – Laminam panels feature on the inside walls and the flooring is terrazzo.

This clean, uncluttered design approach extends to the washbasins, which are resin and so have no visible joins. However, despite the visual simplicity of the design, there is a wealth of discreet storage. A row of mirror-fronted cabinets stretches right up to the top of the pod. There is also a mirror-fronted wardrobe on another side of the pod.

A shoe storage unit in the corner downplays its presence in another way. The handleless door

was designed by Prineas to overlap the cabinet behind, creating the effect of a floating plane, rather than a door. This understated feature is backlit to accentuate its abstract quality.

“Together with the diffuse, natural light from the skylight, strategic concealed lighting accentuates the inserted element in another way,” says Prineas. “We stopped the pod’s walls short of the ceiling to highlight and at the same time protect that heritage feature, with powerful ventilation avoiding any issues of rising steam.

The entire glass and mirror element is lit from above, showcasing its form at night.”

Fresh sensation Occasionally technological advances can make a real difference to quality and comfort – enter the Aurajet™ by Methven If showering is the only ten minutes of the day you get to yourself, you certainly want it to be a pampering experience.

Methven – a leading New Zealand designer and manufacturer of premium showers and tapware for 125 years – has now developed a pioneering technology called Aurajet™. The breakthrough showerhead design delivers improved spray coverage, more force, better nerve stimulation and a luxurious showering experience, says Methven Group CEO, David Banfield.

“The new halo-shaped showerhead has myriad hidden nozzles that generate individual jets of water. These collide with angled surfaces to create a wider, more even shower spray that has no gaps and a much greater droplet density.

“Put simply, this creates a completely new showering experience for our clients.”

Aurajet delivers up to 20% more spray force and twice the coverage compared to traditional showers – yet uses as little as nine litres of water per minute. This technology continues Methven’s drive for

Taste of the tropics The centrepiece of this Pacific-style bathroom is a shower box wrapped in timber stained with Resene Colorwood Mahogany Good often comes from bad, and this serene and decadent master bathroom is a great example – the entire renovation was sparked by the discovery of a water leak.

Homeowners Fraser and Sandy Gillies took the opportunity to gut the entire bathroom and start again.

Fraser Gillies, an architectural designer, says the couple wanted something special.

“So many bathrooms have a standard look and lack atmosphere. We wanted this bathroom to reflect our personalities.”

The result is a Zen-like space that

would look perfectly at home in a Pacific island resort.

The vanity, painted in Resene Black Sheep, was retained, but given a new top made from floor tiles. A circular vessel basin adds an almost ceremonial feel.

But the centrepiece of the room is the sculptural shower box clad in macrocarpa slats. These were stained in Resene Colorwood Mahogany, then finished with three coats of protective Resene Aquaclear on all sides. Resene All Black was painted on the shower box walls beneath the slats,

providing distinctive black shadowlines.

To provide a quiet visual counterpoint to the timber slats, the walls are painted in Resene Black White.

Quietly confident A restrained palette of materials ensures this new home exudes an air of subtle sophistication Modern luxury isn’t about bling – it’s about restraint. Spacious, free-flowing interiors and simple, natural materials create a perfect backdrop to busy modern lifestyles.

This three-level house, which was designed by architect Jesse Linardi of DKO Architecture, is in a prestigious neighbourhood, but the owners did not want the house to stand out.

“They are quite private people, and they didn’t want an ostentatious, lookat-me style of house,” says Linardi. “This

Preceding pages and facing page: Blackbutt timber lines the deep soffits on this contemporary house designed by DKO Architecture. The timber provides a visual warmth to contrast the extensive use of glass, steel, zinc and concrete.

When the large pivoting entry door is open, it is possible to look right through the house to the landscaped outdoor living area and pool beyond.

was not about having all the bells and whistles. Both the form of the building and the material palette were driven by a desire for restraint.�

Linardi says the design needed to accommodate the mature trees on site.

These helped to define the footprint and the building envelope. “It was also essential to maximise the sun to the north at the rear of the property, and views to the south, at the front.�

With this in mind the design team wrapped the house within a large, simple,

box-like volume that provides fully glazed walls with extended deep soffits at the front and back.

The exterior materials are limited to concrete, zinc, glass and blackbutt timber.

Blackbutt lines the soffits of the front and rear facades, and defines the front entry, which incorporates a large pivoting door.

“The interior has a simple layout, with an open-plan living area flowing right through the house, from front to back,” says Linardi. “This maximises both the view and the sun. Even at the front door,

you can glimpse what lies beyond the glazing at the other end of the house.”

Although there are no windows in the side walls of the house, there is ample natural light, thanks to a series of slot skylights and voids that let sunlight penetrate down to the ground floor.

“We cut slices out of the ceiling, so you get these special moments throughout the house, as the light changes and moves across the walls,” says Linardi. “It’s a three-dimensional aspect, rather than a single horizontal or vertical plane of light.”

The light is further enhanced by the reflective quality of the polished plaster finish that defines a large, box-like core in the centre of the house.

“This is essentially a services core, much like you would find in a commercial building – you can walk right around it,” says the architect. “The core encloses a storeroom, powder room, lift, pantry and scullery, and has doors opening off the centre hallway and kitchen. The polished plaster features on three sides of the core, with cabinets on the fourth side.”

search | save | share at trendsideas.com

The core reinforces a sculptural quality that is also evident in a single, continuous, blackened solid steel stair balustrade that rises from the basement to the top floor.

“Again, this is an understated feature of the house, but it enhances the paredback material palette and complements the black detailing seen elsewhere. It also helps to visually link the different levels,” says the architect.

Glazed walls in a children’s play area on the upper level provide a view down into the family living area, reinforcing the

sense of connection between the floors.

In the kitchen, warm timbers reappear, with a bank of oak veneer cabinets forming part of the central core. The refrigerator is integrated, and the door to the scullery and pantry is also concealed.

The veneer cabinets are contrasted by an oversized solid concrete island that measures a massive 4m x 2m.

“This is a gathering space for friends and family,” says the architect. “There is plenty of additional storage and bench space within the scullery that comes in

In keeping with the demands of modern living, the rear facade is fully operable, with glazed sliding doors helping to blur the line between inside and out.

“The social areas of the kitchen, living room, barbecue and poolscape seamlessly morph to create one large entertainment hub,” says Linardi.

Further entertaining facilities are provided in the basement, which features a cinema and wine cellar, in addition to a gym, laundry and garaging.

On a clear day From this holiday eyrie high above the beach, it’s easy to see when the surf’s up, and the orcas are close to shore This new holiday home may be perched on a cliff, but there is nothing remote about it – the waves crash on the rocks below, the salt spray drifts and there’s a strong sense of being at one with the ocean, which is just how the owners like it.

Architect Darren Jessop says the home is the first stage of a three-part project, that will see the house step down the hill.

“The building just completed is a long slender box that functions as a holiday studio on the lower level of the site – the owners will eventually live in a new house

above. The house will resemble a series of stepped boxes, with the two main buildings separated by a swimming pool. The pool structure has already been built, and can be glimpsed above the rear of the studio. It has a temporary roof so it can be used for storage in the meantime.”

The architect says the steepness of the site meant extensive engineering was required to anchor the house back into the hillside. But the end result is a home that feels as though it is cantilevered over the cliff, reaching out towards the sea.

Facing page: Hidden from the street above, the holiday home in the foreground of this image is the first phase of a three-part project. Architect Darren Jessop designed the house as a studio apartment. The raised rectangular structure behind the house will become a swimming pool, and the main house will be built on the land above, creating a home that steps down the hillside.

Above: A deck runs the length of the studio, with enough space for sun loungers and a barbecue.

Jessop says one of the owners is a keen surfer, and it was essential to provide a close connection with the sea and the beach. To this end, the studio has fullheight glazing along one entire wall to maximise the view and sunlight.

“The wall features large sliding glass doors that can be moved either left or right. Because the columns supporting the roof are inset, the window joinery is independent of the structure, which enhances the sense of being at one with the landscape beyond.”

The doors open to a long deck, with composite decking boards that won’t warp, splinter or fade in the sun. At one end, there is enough room for a barbecue and sun loungers.

“Eventually we will add a lower deck that will help link the studio to the track down to the sea,” says Jessop.

On the inside, the studio reflects the owners’ desire for a sleek simple look.

The building features one large open-plan living area, a hallway lined with storage cabinets, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

To add visual interest and texture to the main living area, there are several feature walls and cabinets in Bestwood woodgrain veneer. These are contrasted with white painted walls and kitchen cabinets. Further contrast is provided by a black island.

“Making the island black was a way to keep it independent of the kitchen,” says Jessop. “It is more like a stand-alone element that is part of the living room.”

The position of the island, as with the dining table, affords a spectacular view

straight down the beach. The view is reflected in a sea-blue glass splashback in the kitchen.

To reinforce the beach connection, the benchtops are in stone, with the perimeter surfaces reminiscent of sand.

window on one corner. A large sliding door peels back to open up the space to the outdoors, where a frameless glass balustrade provides a safety barrier.

“Wherever you are in the house, there is a close connection with the sea,” says Jessop. “The owners can look out the window to see if the surf’s up, and they frequently see orcas and dolphins close to shore. In terms of the view, there is always plenty happening. But the house is still private. From the beach below, it reads as a simple dark box on the hillside.”

The higher you go, the better the views. This simple premise can be enough for an architect to turn a house on its head, positioning the living areas upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs.

This large riverside home by architect Mark Peters of Studio Dwell offers a case in point. The owners requested a house that responded to its site, framing the outlooks of the natural grass terrain running down to the river, says Peters.

“To maximise the river setting, the traditional arrangement of public and private spaces was inverted. And to further optimise the outlooks, the upper level is largely transparent, meaning

someone approaching the house can look right through the interior to the views beyond.”

While the home’s front and rear facades on the top floor are essentially walls of glass, a quite different treatment was required for the sides.

“There are neighbours in close proximity to left and right, so the side walls have narrow clerestory windows that admit natural light but retain privacy. The street side of the downstairs master wing has similar slot windows.”

From the curving approach road, the house has a strong sculptural presence that celebrates simple box-like forms. Seen from the rear, the

upper level features an exposed, cantilevered terrace and roof. This is suspended over the lower level which is partially nestled into the hill, providing sun protection and a connection to the land. The design helps cool the house over summer and offers wind protection in winter.

“The cantilevered framework is also a visual feature,” says Peters. “It runs up from the ground floor master wing, across the roof, then down and back across to form the base of the deck. From there, it turns upwards again, forming the deck’s side balustrade. The result is a crisp, yet functional architectural flourish.”

The exterior highlights a simple palette of sustainable and highly durable materials. The base of the house is in exposed concrete with the upper storey clad in long anodised aluminium panels, specified in a complementary charcoal tone. Both of these cladding treatments are accented at several points with îpe wood for balance and warmth.

A distinctive entry adds to the street appeal and further encourages an appreciation of the wider setting. To minimise the footprint on the land, the house and double garage are separated, but also connected by a suspended

Guests, on the other hand, enjoy a different arrival experience. They reach the house via an open walkway that runs alongside the tube.

The owners have many smaller art pieces, too, and elongated display niches were built into the white walls to accommodate these.

A professional eye Getting the most from your interior is all about tapping into the knowledge and experience of design professionals, such as Yellowfox Above: Yellowfox designed this kitchen, dining and living area in a traditional residence in Devonport.

The mainly black-and-white colour scheme is punctuated by warm touches, such as the copper interiors on the modern pendants and the tan leather on the banquette seating.

Much of the homeowner’s original furniture was incorporated into the design.

What works aesthetically and what doesn’t?

How to achieve more usable workspace – or a feeling of cosiness? You could spend weeks on addressing your interiors and still get it wrong.

A call to a professional designer is all it takes.

The owner of this traditional Devonport villa asked interiors specialist Yellowfox to create contemporary open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces that would complement the good bones of the original home.

Yellowfox stripped the space back to the floorboards, now stained black, and designed the space afresh, says designer Ursula Vlasic.

search | save | share at trendsideas.com

“There were a few challenges, such as limited wall area for taller cabinetry, and a modest area in which to achieve a decent-sized dining and kitchen area while optimising the sea outlooks.

“We addressed the first issue by introducing a floor-to-ceiling blade wall that screened off part of the kitchen and made space for upper cabinets. The choice of bench seating for the dining area saved floor space for a roomy feel.”

To optimise clear sightlines to the water, all appliances are set under the benchtops.

“Colour was also important in this design.

We painted the living area black to contrast the

pristine white kitchen, and black windows and door joinery in the kitchen frames the views.

Beadboard cabinetry, designed by Yellowfox, matches the original charm of the home. However, for a modern touch they are handle-free.

With a dash of nostalgia Black cabinets bring plenty of drama to this kitchen in a designer’s own home, but the design also respects the 1950s streetscape and relaxed coastal setting Seen in isolation, this black kitchen is a real conversation piece. But it’s not so surprising when you come from the outside in – the house itself is entirely black and wrapped in corrugated steel.

But the architecture was not about making a bold contemporary statement, says designer-owner David Ponting of Ponting Fitzgerald.

“It was more about making

a reference to the location. The house is in a street of 1950s brick-and-tile homes, beside the water. Both these elements have influenced the design of the house and the kitchen.

“The house resembles a coastal barn, unashamedly inspired by the Team New Zealand boatsheds in Auckland, while the interior was generated from the simple Kiwi ideals of the ’50s and ’60s.”

Ponting says he and his wife Atlanta Miles wanted a pre-loved look.

“We chose materials and products that enhance a sense of items collected over time, – a cobbled-together look. The doors in the house are from an old bungalow, and the walls, which are painted in high-gloss black, are vertically grooved plywood reminiscent of tongue-and-groove boards.”

Facing page and above: Hand-glazed tiles in varying shades of inky blue reflect the light and water views from this kitchen in a new house designed by owner David Ponting.

The wire-brushed oak veneer cabinets and grooved plywood walls are painted black to match the curtains, window joinery, and the colour of the house exterior.

Although modern, the square-edged sink recalls the shape of washtubs from the ’50s.

In keeping with this theme, the cabinets feature oak veneer over plywood. The oak was wire brushed to strip out the soft grain, and hand-painted to achieve a black gloss finish.

The cabinets are teamed with stainless steel benchtops and hand-glazed inky blue tiles on the splashback.

“We wanted the space to be dark and moody – a little bit theatrical,” says Ponting.

“The tiles create a touch of drama. They reflect the estuary beyond, and the varying tones create a lovely ripple effect.”

Doors on either side of the kitchen open to a pantry and refrigerator respectively.

“The space accommodating the refrigerator space pops out from the side of the house, much like a traditional food safe in an older home,” the designer says. “Although this

Garden pavilion Designed for passionate foodies, this pared-back kitchen is both supremely functional and at one with the outdoors

Indoor-outdoor living is a prerequisite for most modern kitchens, but the designer of this renovation project took the concept one step further.

Architect Erik Rudolfsson’s extension to the 1940s house created a contemporary garden pavilion, where glass walls peel back to open up the entire kitchen and living area to the outdoors.

To ensure the kitchen would be flooded with natural light, Rudolfsson also introduced polycarbonate glazing to the roof, and lined the ceiling beneath this

with white-painted timber slats. The slats continue on the outside, forming a shade canopy while simultaneously blurring the boundary between inside and out. Matching basalt floor tiles also flow between the indoors and outdoors.

The connection is further reinforced by a long low window directly above the perimeter benchtop in the kitchen, which also functions as a glass splashback.

“The window framing is set down below the height of the cabinets to create a seamless appearance,” Rudolfsson says.

Facing page: This new kitchen is part of a large extension designed by architect Erik Rudolfsson of Rudolfsson Alliker Associates Architects.

Polycarbonate glazing on the roof and a whitepainted timber slat ceiling allow filtered light into the kitchen and living area. At night, LED lighting replicates the daylight.

Above: With large sliding glass doors wrapping around the extension, the entire corner of the house can be opened up to the outdoors.

Following pages: Parallel cabinets reinforce the strong horizontality of the kitchen.

Above: With two sinks on two benches, there is ample space for more than one person to work in the kitchen at the same time. Wherever possible appliances are integrated so the kitchen retains its sleek, pared-back look. The pod of full-height cabinets accommodates functional elements, including a Miele steam oven, full-height pantry, integrated refrigerator and laundry. Rudolfsson says the crisp finish is a credit to the entire team, including builder Okima Constructions.

The white base cabinets are teamed with American oak cabinetry stained in Japan black. A steel strip edge lightens the look and makes the units appear to float above the floor. A tabletop extension to the island is also in dark American oak.

“Because the kitchen doubles as a test kitchen for a newly established catering company, there are two long benchtops and two sinks for food preparation and serving,” the architect says. “We essentially created two work triangles – a preparation triangle between the full-height cabinets

and the island, and a second triangle for cooking further along.”

The dark cabinets create a service pod that conceals a full-height pantry, an integrated fridge-freezer and a laundry behind bifolding doors. resources & more images 46814 at trendsideas.com video about this kitchen at 46987 at trendsideas.com

Pared-back living Solid limestone walls and Tasmanian oak cabinets reinforce the strong geometry of this double-height living space Above and right: Natural raw materials feature throughout this new house designed by Fremantle architectural firm Officer Woods.

Facing page: A mezzanine bridge compresses part of the living volume, providing a more intimate dining area. Flush thresholds between all rooms on the ground floor were designed for universal accessibility. The space between the island and perimeter cabinets can accommodate a wheelchair.

Simplicity can make a strong design statement – in this new house it is the materials and the spaces they frame that speak the loudest.

Designed by Fremantle firm Officer Woods, the house is built from local limestone, with the stone exposed both inside and out.

Architect Trevor Woods says the clients were very interested in using natural materials with a low embodied energy footprint. “We extended this to the kitchen, opting for natural Carrara marble benchtops, for example, over reconstituted stone. The tactile qualities were important as there are

not that many places in a home where you are constantly touching a surface. For these areas we had a more lavish budget, so the surfaces are not only hard and durable but also memorable – a sumptuous counterpoint to the raw materials of the house itself. The owners are happy to let all the materials weather naturally.”

The marble is teamed with Tasmanian oak cabinets that feature hardwood edges and veneer doors. These were treated with an Osmo environmentally friendly finish, in keeping with the desire for sustainable alternatives. A timber shroud wraps the island, helping to hide any

clutter on the benchtop. The island also features a flat bar top that serves as a breakfast area.

Additional storage is provided within a large walk-in pantry directly behind the kitchen.

While the living space has a generous, double-height ceiling, a wide mezzanine bridge compresses the kitchen-dining area, creating a more intimate space.

“The bridge modulates the scale and volume and allows interaction between the living areas on both levels,” says Woods. “It also extends outdoors where it forms a balcony and provides a shade canopy above the terrace.”

Gather round Your kitchen is the heart of your home, so why settle for second best? Mastercraft Kitchens ensured this kitchen is as good as it gets

search | save | share at trendsideas.com

For most of us, planning a new kitchen is something we may do only once or twice in a lifetime, so it makes sense to talk to the experts.

That’s what the owners of this new kitchen did – they commissioned a custom kitchen from Mastercraft Kitchens on the Hibiscus Coast. As with every kitchen by Mastercraft, this project was designed and manufactured to meet the clients’ specific requirements and budget.

The kitchen, designed by Jo Harris, features a mix of contrasting high-gloss

metallic lacquer cabinets, in silver and grey-brown. These are teamed with Laminex solid surface acrylic benchtops in Real White, and a dramatic, curved American oak bar top with a resin finish.

The curve of the bar top matches the curve of the cabinets that wrap around the perimeter of the kitchen. The shape of the cabinets and the reflective finish recalls high-end yacht fit-outs, which is an appropriate reference for the beachfront home.

Other special features include a drinks area near the refrigerator, and a niche on

the side of the large island with a narrow reed glass backdrop.

Mastercraft offers a 10-year transferable guarantee on every kitchen, providing reassurance to future purchasers should you ever wish to sell your home.

The company has 30 locations around New Zealand. View the full list on the website: www.mastercraft.co.nz save & share 47204 at trendsideas.com

One of a kind Every new project from Kitchens By Design reflects an individual design response They say imitation is a form of flattery, but most people would prefer a kitchen that makes a unique design statement.

And that’s exactly as it should be, say the designers at Kitchens By Design.

Because every household and every space is different, every kitchen designed by the company is a custom project.

This kitchen, for example, designed

by Sue Gillbanks of Kitchens By Design, has a strong connection with the outdoors.

The colours and materials were chosen to provide a visual link to the bush beyond.

The kitchen cabinets, painted to match Aalto Cornerstone, enhance this connection. The designer says the colour also gets away from the white-on-white look that defines many contemporary kitchens.

Other materials in the kitchen include a timber floor and benchtops in Silestone Lyra with a suede finish. Recessed handles reinforce the modern, minimalist design.

So too, does a large slider window that is flush with the benchtop, which helps to bring the outdoors in.

Kitchens By Design oversees every project through design, manufacture and installation.

The company’s success is reflected in the 70+ design awards it has won since its inception in 1989.

Centre of attention Originally tucked away in a corner, the kitchen in this home has well and truly moved into the limelight Above and facing page: Striped zebrino marble features on the long island and benchtops in this new kitchen designed by Mal Corboy. The marble, which was coated to provide a nonporous surface, is teamed with pearl-blasted oak veneer.

Right: The original U-shaped kitchen in the house occupied a small corner of the family living space, and was not conducive to socialising. The owners say they had to turn their backs to guests to use the cooktop.

Always in the kitchen at parties – that’s where you’ll find everyone these days, with good reason. The modern kitchen is the hub for both entertaining and family life.

The existing kitchen in this home, however, was rather bashful. Built in a U shape, it was tucked away in the corner of a large living space, with the cook somewhat isolated. In fact, with the cooktop on the rear wall, the hosts had to turn their backs to guests when cooking.

Designer Mal Corboy was commissioned to create a more social kitchen – a contemporary design with plenty of the wow factor.

Above: For the new kitchen, the designer placed the cooktop on the island, to provide a more social layout. The custom rangehood is wrapped in backpainted glass with a copper metallic paint. The same finish was used for the splashbacks and toekicks. Corboy says the new layout creates a better flow to the outdoor terrace, maximising a picturesque view across the harbour.

“The original kitchen did not really do the house justice,” the designer says. “Not only did the space require a larger kitchen – it also needed a lot more drama.”

Corboy says the design of the new kitchen was inspired by a beautiful and unusual zebrino marble he had found, which became the pièce de résistance.

“I had put the stone on hold, waiting for an opportunity to use it. It has a great texture and the stripes give it a strong linear look. For this project, I teamed it with a pearl-blasted oak veneer. This treatment removes the soft grain of

search | save | share at trendsideas.com

the timber, allowing the harder, more prominent grain to feature. It’s a very textural surface that is in keeping with current design trends – the highly lacquered glossy look is giving way to more textured finishes.”

Corboy wrapped the cabinetry down one long wall and around a corner to create a partially hidden scullery area. A marble-clad island with a large work surface incorporates a breakfast table at one end. The oak of the table appears to slice through the marble on the island unifying the two elements.

“We positioned the cooktop on the island so

the owners can socialise while preparing meals.

With the sink on the perimeter benchtop, there is ample room for more than one person to work in the kitchen at the same time.”

A custom-designed rangehood with a Smeg powerpack is wrapped in backpainted glass in a copper metallic shade – this also appears on the splashbacks.

“The position of the hood makes a feature of a change in ceiling height,” says Corboy. “And the copper metallic finish helps to reflect light in the room. This is especially useful in the corner of the kitchen, which is on the darker, south side of

the house. The metallic paint on the splashback, and LED lighting under each shelf, ensure this area is bright and cheerful. We also ran the backpainted glass along the toekicks and added LED lighting to these as well.”

Unlike many modern kitchens, there is no stainless steel on show. The sink and the taps are black, as is an industrial-style pendant.

The designer also specified black appliances – there are four black Smeg ovens at the end of the kitchen. And the recessed pulls for the drawers are in black. Other appliances are fully integrated to maintain visual continuity.

Surface attraction Part of a Craftsman-style makeover, this kitchen combines a wealth of natural materials with more contemporary accents It’s a puzzle interior designers often have to solve – how to continue a traditional theme into the kitchen while achieving the functionality and presence required by a busy modern chef.

The answer is likely to lie in the details.

This kitchen by designer Nadia Subaran is part of a house remodel by architect Jim Rill. The project has transformed an unexceptional brick house into a roomy Craftsman-style cottage.

There is also a new family room and kitchen in an extension at the rear, says Subaran.

“In keeping with the American Arts and Crafts feel, the walls and ceilings now have

mouldings and panels – a level of detailing that reflects the style’s handcrafted aesthetic,” says Subaran. “But because one owner is passionate about cooking the kitchen needed to have all the contemporary bells and whistles.”

To connect with adjacent rooms, the kitchen is lightly detailed, with an abundance of natural surfaces, continuing the layered, hand-worked appeal. There are three benchtop materials, two splashback treatments, and more than one cabinet finish, for example.

“The perimeter benchtop is in Taj Mahal quartzite, a hard-wearing surface with the look

Facing page: This open-plan family room and kitchen are part of a whole-house remodel in the Craftsman style, by architect Jim Rill.

The kitchen design is by designer Nadia Subaran. The family room features natural surfaces and has a soaring, barn-like ceiling.

of marble. The butcher’s block is in walnut and the island benchtop in a Silver Waves marble.

“Cabinetry on the island is also walnut, a wood the owners love, but this was too dark for the perimeter cabinets, which are in a pale oyster. This colour complements the darker wall tones in other rooms – also typical of the style – but at the same time is near to the white shade you might expect in a professional kitchen.”

The space has other contemporary accents as well. For example, the island benchtop is separated from the dark wooden cabinetry by a stainless steel band. Stainless steel can also be

seen on cabinets under the cooktop and on the penny-round tile backsplash. These elements, together with the ventilation hood, create a feature tower of stainless steel. The designer says the reflective surfaces bounce light through the room, which does not have its own windows.

The kitchen is equally well set up in terms of functionality. Disparate counter levels address the different heights of the owners, and every cooking convenience is close at hand.

The butler’s pantry provides a buffer from the dining room, and features glass display cabinets and iridescent mosaic tiles.
