  • Soft, Simple, and Sublime: Girls’ Vanity

    Soft, Simple, and Sublime: Girls’ Vanity

    As part of our multi-vanity renovation in Waiheke Island, BoxMakers chose a stunningly simple yet wholly elegant design for the girls’ vanity. Purpose-built with ease of operation and minimalism in mind, this unit is designed for sleek adaptability.

    Smooth, pure, and chic, the benchtop is made from Caesarstone’s Organic White. This thin-profile, speckled mineral top is perfect for delivering a strong surface without the bulkiness of thicker benches. Within, it effortlessly accommodates the circular basin, chosen by the homeowner. Likewise, the faucet fixtures are in matching aged brass with the master vanity.

    Below, the cabinetry features 16mm Prime MDF finished and edged with VidaSpace’s Desert Oak Veneer. Of note is the opening mechanism for the drawers, which carefully incorporates a 25mm finger-pull gap to allow for handleless operation, making the entire face fully uniform. The internals feature Häfele’s Alto soft-close system, which makes opening and closing smooth and silent – perfect even for nighttime.

    We also included a cabinet-side power outlet, which means your electric toothbrush or hairdryer can operate comfortably within hand’s reach.

    BoxMakers were also in charge of the mirror: a centre-open unit that reveals dual internal shelves, plus more power outlets. Kitted with Häfele’s soft-close hinges, mirror-side beauty lights, and an internal demister pad to chase away fog, it’s clearer than ever to wash, do makeup, or simply admire oneself. Opening and closing is handleless as well, with drop-down finger-pulls comfortably situated at the bottom.

    This girls’ vanity is an excellent example of BoxMakers’ attention to use case. We design joinery that fits – not just physically and aesthetically, but practically. Whether it’s a featureful modern kitchen, practical man-cave bathroom, or a trendy minimalist vanity, we know the assignment and can tailor to your needs perfectly.

  • Custom Teaching Unit & Joinery in a Busy Māngere School

    Custom Teaching Unit & Joinery in a Busy Māngere School

    BoxMakers played a pivotal role in the transformation of the classrooms and toilets in Southern Cross Campus’s B Block. With a wealth of experience delivering quality joinery for schools, our expertise was indispensable to the welfare and usability of the new rooms.

    For one of the newly reworked science rooms, BoxMakers installed a robust and versatile custom teaching unit, with materials carefully suited for long-lasting durability. It was a large cabinet with an integrated sliding whiteboard, featuring a wealth of concealable storage space. The whiteboard itself is a premium porcelain enamel piece by Polyvision, surrounded with Silver Pearl aluminium edges. Beneath the board surface, an accessory ledge is thoughtfully implemented to accommodate a range of teaching supplies, such as markers, erasers, and cloths. This slim cut benchtop uses Laminex’s Formica range, a high-pressure laminate that offers superior durability and performance.

    Below the ledge is a wide array of cabinets, complete with locks to ensure secure storage. The cabinet carcass is made of 16mm MDF, while its aesthetics are supplemented with Classic Oak Naturale melamine from Laminex. This provides an organic appearance without the heft or maintenance of natural wood. The handles are Sylvan’s Norton series, in black. Their square bar profile is minimalist and to the point.

    Our team also installed the hot water cylinder cupboard, which featured an MDF core with a white finish. We delivered this with Häfele hinges and built-in locks to ensure both security and ease of operation. A similar outfit was also performed for the data cabinet.

    Our BoxMakers team was also crucial to the bathroom work, installing the toilet partitions. The cubicle walls were installed with Laminex’s Compact series, featuring calming wood patterns. Above, the headrail was an anodised silver aluminium. We also installed the locks, hinges, stoppers, and more. Stemming from our work, the bathrooms now feature durable, modern, and easy to use stalls.

    This shows BoxMakers’ exceptional ability to install specification-adherent materials for specialised, high-use environments. It also demonstrates our versatility as not just kitchen professionals, but skilled installers of niche systems schoolwide and beyond.
