  • A Bold, Brass, and Brilliant Vanity

    A Bold, Brass, and Brilliant Vanity

    One of the most unique vanity units we’ve put together, this powder room project makes a splash with a unique blend of black & brass. As though a room with shrapnel-like black walls wasn’t enough, this owner sought to take it one step further and boldly bask in the brilliance of a brass vanity.

    In order to achieve this understandably lurid display, our team prepared 18mm black woodgrained MDF as the substrate, so that any exposed internals matched the scheme. Even the drawer itself is finished in black, and the Häfele runners are conveniently tucked out of sight – as though enshrouding the rest of the room solely to accentuate the finish sheen…

    Arriving at the centrepiece, we clad the MDF in folded sheets of 0.5mm brass via lamination. Delivered by Ambro Metals, these sheets offer increased fire safety, natural aging, and antibacterial properties. With the drawer fully closed, it appears as though the basin is resting on a giant block of gold. The sheen effortlessly dances against the walls – a lavish yet ethereal evocation.

    For the fixtures, the owner decided on a circular vessel basin, finely finished in speckled black and perfectly ornamented with a speckled brass stopper. This is paired with an aged brass faucet and handle, which smoothly completes the aesthetic.

    As a whole, this small but striking installation is made to make an impression. The above wall light provides meaningful task lighting while also accentuating the glow of the drawer. Every component is pieced together to signal luxury, and the bold brass is sure to be unforgettable.

  • A Stellar Dual-Function TV Cabinet & Guest Renovations

    A Stellar Dual-Function TV Cabinet & Guest Renovations

    The second act to our Tāwharanui Peninsula project, this luxury home saw a stellar TV unit, wardrobe, and bathroom vanity by BoxMakers. Coming in the same vein of dark yet graceful midnight-themed cabinetry, this mysterious living room unit offers more than what meets the eye…

    Brooding silently at the end of a decadently spacious lounge, this cool and collected TV cabinet holds a few more secrets than it might seem. Clad in the armour of night, this bespoke unit effortlessly flaunts StyleLite’s Carbon series in TruMatte – a hypnotic black teeming with thick atmosphere. The thick outer panels emphasise its strong, silent nature while also limiting glare for the TV inside. Below, a subtle triplet of cubbies allow for convenient media storage.

    The cabinet doors are composed of a modern arrangement of vertical slats. Plytech supplied their Maestro Latt series, a premium panel which we selected in Pepper Oak on Black – an airy timber reprieve with a contrasting dark underlay for definition and effect. The two-tiered rail allows the entire until to be concealed, but the real mystery isn’t the panels themselves – it’s what behind them…

    Sliding over the door, the slats reveal a full kitchenette, complete with a sink, splashback, and mini-fridge. Needless to say, yes, it came in black. Featuring Silestone’s Night Tebas18, the benchtop is a captivating star-specked spacescape, whose details are only observable under close scrutiny.

    Shifting through the deepness of space is the splashback, which features undulating tones of wavelike stone and a pattern evocative of a gas giant’s stormy shell. With the same black matte panels and glossy onyx handles, this mesmerising midnight enigma offers galactic levels of convenience and storage, especially with Häfele’s drawer systems. It even has a local ice giant (a mini fridge).

    The guest bedroom also saw a blacked-out addition in the form of a wardrobe. With smooth sliding doors, accommodating cubbies, and ample hanger space, this wardrobe is perfect for handling guest storage. Enko was our choice for the drawers here as their Slimbox system was perfect for handling large capacities with smooth operation.

    Elsewhere, the guest bathroom features a modern natural aesthetic. To deliver definition against its light wooden tones, BoxMakers installed a bathroom vanity of the same black scheme with a few key differences: the face panels reintroduced Dezignatek’s fluted design, while the basin resembled the hollowed-out half of a meteorite. Its raw, natural curves pair perfectly with the bathroom’s natural aesthetic, while the floating vanity adds a touch of modernity. With a smartly disguised kitchen and TV space, large wardrobes, and modern vanities, this project is out of this world. Featuring premium materials fit for its luxury location, this multi-faceted BoxMakers renovation delivered functional upgrades across the guest suite, thoroughly dripping with atmosphere. Also, they’re incredibly cool.
