Once a functional room, the kitchen has been reinvented as the hub of family life – a space to meet, greet and eat. The best kitchen design combines modern functionality for ease of cooking with a social atmosphere allowing the room to be used for daily cooking tasks as well as a 'catch-up' space with family and friends.
Winning the prestigious International Designer Award at the International Design Awards with a kitchen design that also netted him a National Winner award in the NZBA in New Zealand in 2003, Glen Johns has achievable the pinnacle in kitchen design.
Designed for a new home the owners of the award winning kitchen sought an open plan kitchen that would be in keeping with the style of the rest of the home. This openness was achieved by orientating the kitchen out towards the dining and living areas of the house creating a social friendly environment. The Matai topped island acts as the centreplace, providing both a functional working space and a warm mellow glow stylishly contrasted against the dark matt shade of Resene Masala (grey-brown).
Calm uncomplicated combinations – the perfect balance in a busy and hectic household.
