Creamy White Shades in a Modern Kitchen

As part of our recent Sunnynook townhouse project, our BoxMakers team designed and delivered kitchens for every last one. With brand new contemporary homes, we had to adapt our kitchen game to match.

When it came to designing these kitchens, the chief concern was making an aesthetic match with the existing build. But since our construction division was handling the home itself, we were able to coordinate flawlessly to execute a synchronised vision.

In unit 1 of this project, the kitchen was located on the upper level. Featuring a broad single-wall & island layout, this smart and modern kitchen is teeming with details waiting to be picked apart. We picked a smooth white to match the inner and outer walls, specifically Quarter Thorndon Cream from Prime Panels – a colour we kept consistent across these new homes. In unit 1, this is kept consistent from end to end.

The overall style takes inspiration from Scandinavian minimalism, and subtly applies it to a modern and contemporary aesthetic. Thanks to our excellent craftsmanship, the cabinetry gaps are flush, consistent, and perfect, making for not only a satisfying layout, but also appearance.

While the overhead cabinets are handleless, the under-bench units feature Mardeco’s bar pull handles in gunmetal. With a flared-base design, these grips embody a tough-yet-graceful look.

Ornamenting the splashback is a subway tile arrangement in glossy white. This is sat over UniQuartz’s White Sand benchtop, whose detailed granules gracefully give detail to the arrangement.

Opposite, we see our first foray from Melteca’s Aged Ash finish applied to the kitchen island. With a generous overhang and still enough room for appliances & a sink, this island is the perfect complement to a kitchen that has it all.
