In a trip across the Hauraki Gulf, our BoxMakers team was called to renovate a beautifully situated residence on the southwestern tip of Waiheke Island. We were adamant on delivering a product that could not only compliment, but elevate the stunning views of the island’s flora. The project called for extensive cabinetry and joinery work across multiple rooms, including the fireplace, laundry, office, and more.
Our work in the living room featured a complex arrangement of stained American Oak panels and cabinetry, which sported concealable asymmetrical shelving and large sliding panels, which part to reveal space for a genuinely enormous television. Situated above a modern fireplace, extensive care was taken to ensure the longevity of both the woodwork and the items they housed.
For the office, BoxMakers delivered high quality, height-matching cabinets complete with finger pull-handles and soft-close drawers. Subtle LED accent lighting was applied to the overhead units, providing an elegant touch of light that accentuates the cabinetwork. Similar work was applied to the full-height entrance storage units, which featured a diverse range of joinery work, offering everything from shelves, to drawers, to sitting spots. The L-profile handles and warm white toe-kick LED lighting adds both convenience and accessibility while matching the home aesthetic.
The master ensuite also featured a wide range of cabinetry work, featuring floating drawers in black stained oak, tastefully contrasting the eggshell walls while preserving the natural yet modern tone of the home. The soft-close drawer systems minimise noise disruption when opening and closing, especially during times of peace and quiet. Also receiving an upgrade was the laundry room, which was renovated with premium birch plywood and a wide array of drawers and cabinets, eliminating any storage issues. The cabinetry was made to perfectly accommodate the two laundry units, serving as a prime example of space efficiency.
With splendid views overseeing Te Wharau Bay as well as vast stretches of the lush Waiheke greenery, BoxMakers elevated the residence with complementary natural colours and extensive functionality, making the home a luxurious getaway with plenty of room to grow.
