This kitchen, designed by Shane George, is part of the major, award-winning renovation of a house in Remuera, Auckland.
The design for this kitchen formed part of a major renovation of a unique 1930s house in Remuera Auckland, which won a Gold award in the 2020 Master Builders House of the Year awards for Blackbird Projects.
Kitchen designer Shane George says his brief was for a traditional-style kitchen with classic, understated detailing. The owners wanted it split into two separate, but connected spaces; in effect two kitchens – the first, a semi-concealed area containing most of the food storage, and where the bulk of meals are prepared; and the second, a fully functioning “front” kitchen, albeit more of an entertaining hub, connected to the dining and living areas.
