In this job remodelling a kitchen, the client was looking for a kitchen which would be comfortable to work in with plenty of easily accessible storage space. They wanted to be surrounded by the working area and away from the direct sunlight outside.
Since it was to fit in with the look of an older house, they didn't want an ultra-modern stainless steel look and wanted as much of the equipment as possible hidden from view.
"It was a big kitchen but the job presented no real difficulties apart from a fridge which needed an integrated door – one that looks like an ordinary cupboard door. Also the bench tops were to be made by a company in Carterton, so we had to order those and make patterns for them which was a little tricky, but apart from that it's a pretty standard kitchen."
The clients say they enjoy the spacious uncluttered feel when working in the finished kitchen and the way it blends in with the rest of the extension work.
