Kitchen distinction up to $25k

THE WINNER

Mark Bruce Beaver Kitchens

THE DESIGN

In the process of restoring this lakeside 1950s bach’s kitchen to its rightful era after a 70s renovation, a large sliding door was added to gain direct access to a new outdoor dining and barbecue zone, and a window was moved to create the wall area for the new design.

The oak wall cabinets are crafted to look like a piece of furniture, while the use of shadow board on the fridge and pantry are another nod to the iconic Kiwi bach theme.

The racked cupboard has reeded glass and chrome pipe through rounded shelving. Facilities including a small table are provided as an indoor dining option.
