of the living room is a Rimu batten
ceiling with black negative detailing.
Designer Kirsty Davis created a
matching drop-down bulkhead
which houses the rangehood, ducted
ventilation and lighting. The ceiling-
mounted rangehood was custom-
painted black.

the kitchen’s strong, simple lines and
forms achieve a sculptural presence.

batten ceiling with black negative detailing.
Working with this, Davis designed a matching
drop-down bulkhead to seamlessly house the
cassette rangehood and ducted ventilation system.
Offering a modern, minimalist backdrop,
the rear of the kitchen is a wall of white vinyl,
punctuated by a line of reflective ovens. Storage
and smaller appliances are fully integrated here.
The large fridge-freezer, wine fridge and the
dishwasher are all located in the open, walk-in
pantry, accessed from the side of the kitchen.
Black painted glass splashbacks in the pantry
were set at the same height as the wall-mounted
appliances in the kitchen. And the pantry is also
in the same colours and materials as the kitchen,
making it appear as a continuation of the more
social space.
“The owners really wanted a handleless,
minimalist kitchen and to achieve this we used
the Blum Servo-Drive drawer hardware and
push-to-open doors as well as the advanced
Servo-Drive Flex push-to-open hardware for
appliances,” says Davis. “With the use of the
latest materials such as the vinyl wall covering,
and high spec hardware, the kitchen is at once
highly contemporary, yet understated.”
