Award-winning kitchen design: Bates Joinery
The client sought a sleek modern kitchen, timeless in its design while using a monochromatic colour scheme. Its context would be an architecturally designed home, where the living dining and kitchen space are open plan.
Specifying ‘form follows function’ whilst maintaining an elegant aesthetic, the goal for this project was to have a kitchen that stood out while also being silently sophisticated.
Jaden Allworthy of Allworthy Design more than rose to the challenge, using only black finishes with a white marble look engineered stone splash back and bench tops in the primary kitchen area. Bates Joinery worked closely with Jaden to bring this ‘tuxedo kitchen’ to life, and won the Best Region Award for Canterbury in the NZ Master Joiner Annual Excellence Awards for 2022.
“The kitchen is finished in Prime Laminate Black Velvet Soft Matt, which brings the elegant feel with its soft touch finish,” says Jaden, “and a favourite element is the Archant Aoraki 550-10 black eco granite sink, undermounted in the island top.
An eye-catching feature in this kitchen is the SG Calacatta Gold engineered stone splash back that is vein matched to the bench top by the skilled team at Shane Boyd Granite Benchtops.
