Capping off our 2025 year, we applied the finishing touches on our brand-new kitchens in Mount Albert. As part of our multi-home joinery work, lot 3 showcases a tailor-made set of entry cabinets, a special modern-minimalist kitchen, as well as a sneaky upstairs laundry space.
On the ground floor, the owners’ visionary idea for their entryway & kitchen was brought to life. In tackling all of their storage needs, BoxMakers designed and installed a custom set of cabinets, shelves, and displays, complete with a small workspace. The Nordic Oak MDF benchtop is complemented with handleless cream cabinetry above and below. The accompanying 17-shelf dual-door cabinet is opened with ergonomic lip pull handles by Mardeco.
Custom Entry Cabinetry
The true star of the show, however, is the 6-shelf glass display cabinet for the family’s resident figurine collector. Featuring an elegant glass door, secure shelving, and under-shelf LED strips, this delightful display is sure to shine bright. Its tasteful accent lighting will make any display the centre of attention.
An Airy and Welcoming Kitchen
Just past the entryway, featuring nurturing colours and an open, airy feel, the minimalist kitchen serves as a staple of clean and simple design. With handleless cabinetry in a smooth French Cream by Melteca, these delicious face panels breathe a saccharine aroma into the room.
Sandwiched between is the benchtop and splashback, which came in matching White Carrara engineered stone. Lightly veined in tones of milk, cream, and honey, this tasty finish extended to the kitchen island for a matching look, which is bathed under the supple glow of a unique swirling pendant light.
Häfele were chosen for the extrusion handles, mounting, and drawer slides – the silent champions of smooth operation. As far as smart kitchen storage goes, we used Vibo’s Galaxy series of bottle organisers, and Fit NZ’s Simplex pull-out bins. This custom kitchen also features loads of custom storage, including a 6-tier pantry, pull-out shelves, and plenty of overhead room with tactile push-to-open mechanisms.
Bosch were the go-to brand for our appliances this time, featuring their cooktop, oven, rangehood, and dishwasher – all high-performance and ready to make the most delectable of meals.
A Hidden Upstairs Gem
Upstairs, the clients had a very special idea for their laundry needs. Hidden away behind an unassuming set of closet doors is a full-fledged laundry space, complete with a sink, worktop, and a generous attachment of cabinetry. The silvery sink and tap by Omison pairs perfectly with the white of the bench, splashback, and cabinets, whose arrangement was carefully curated to accommodate an over/under washer-dryer combo.
It was a pleasure to work on this treat of a kitchen. We can just tell it’s going to be perfect for discussing, dining, and of course, dessert.
