Waikanae Kitchen Reno
Collaborated with Dress My Nest
This thoughtfully renovated family kitchen balances clean, modern aesthetics with functional layout planning. The design process centered around creating a space that supports everyday living while feeling warm and inviting.
In the elevation drawings, material choices and proportions were brought to life. The cabinetry design emphasizes vertical symmetry, blending warm wood textures with clean white surfaces. Open shelving and integrated niches add character while maintaining a streamlined look. These elevations guided the detailing of finishes and fixture placement, helping to visualize the balance between form and function before construction began.
The floor plan was reconfigured to enhance flow and usability, with careful attention to work zones, circulation space, and storage. The U-shaped layout maximizes counter space, while the positioning of the island allows for both food prep and casual seating without interrupting movement through the room. Precise measurements and spatial planning ensured that every cabinet, appliance, and surface had a purpose and place.
