Customise your kitchen: Timber Tru
A bespoke kitchen stands out, with its ‘wow’ impact, unlike the standardised versions found in many New Zealand homes.
Cconventional kitchens that are alike in so many ways have a place in the market, yet a bespoke kitchen sits firmly in a class of its own. If your home or project is unique or filled with character, it requires a kitchen that suits the setting. If you have a particular aesthetic, like to cook or entertain in a certain way, or simply seek a kitchen with some personality, then the identikit approach simply will not do.
Achieving a unique kitchen requires someone who approaches their joinery with love and precision, a craftsman who finds creating something unique is rewarding, rather than an issue getting in the way of the production line.
Tony Van Der Plas is owner and chief joiner at Timber Tru, where the team loves nothing better than the challenge of building kitchens for spaces that are not regular or for houses built a century or more ago. “We thrive on big country kitchens, or the accuracy required in a Shaker Style kitchen, or creating elements in different materials if you want to evoke the sense of a comfortable rustic kitchen that has evolved over time into the centre of comfort for the family,” Tony explains.
Whether you have plans ready to go, are still compiling ideas, building from scratch, or renovating, Tony works alongside clients from start to finish. “We can help with the concept and design, or we can work with your plans. Every kitchen we do is different and clients love this exclusivity,” says Tony.
“We’re happy to work with any material clients want, timbers or veneers, plywood, or melamine. Our kitchens are going in from the central city to beautiful spots all over Canterbury.”
