  • 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.

  • A Subtle Yet Modern Kitchen in Hobsonville

    A Subtle Yet Modern Kitchen in Hobsonville

    In 2024, we designed a kitchen and wardrobe solution for a new townhouse development in Hobsonville. Given the brand-new nature of the home and surrounding buildings, BoxMakers aimed to deliver a kitchen that not only matched its contemporary counterparts, but exceeded them in terms of performance and efficiency.

    Housed on the second floor, we aimed to design and deliver a kitchen that had the key themes of modernity, subtlety, and capacity. With two tall vertical windows on either side of the kitchen, each cooking session is accompanied by tranquil views overlooking the neighbourhood.

    The kitchen’s primary colour is white, in matching with the interior colour scheme. For the cabinets, we chose a core material of MDF, finished in embossed Prime White by New Zealand’s Prime Panels – a durable and versatile choice. Keeping with the theme of modernity and efficiency, we have selected a range of handles and fixtures that reflect the progressive nature of this home. Mardeco’s Aseda 4024 handles complete the base cabinets. Their Satin Chrome finish effortlessly complements the white surroundings. The overhead cabinets sport a handleless design, which allow for a uniform display of the face panels’ colour.

    Completing the white theme is the benchtop, which is a slab of 30mm engineered stone by Uniquartz, finished in White Ice. The subtle texture of the glossy benchtop is matched by a softly patterned splashback featuring light streaks of grey, resembling trails of freshly-trodden snow. Above the kitchen island, a double-edged pendant light provides illumination to both the sink and surrounding area.

    For the wardrobe, BoxMakers provided an expansive solution that featured triple garment rods alongside a quintuple set of cubbies, two of which feature a drawer design using Häfele’s Alto Soft Close runners. The white MDF mirrors the kitchen finish and provides a robust solution to clothing storage.

    BoxMakers are proud to have contributed to this lively Hobsonville neighbourhood with a highly capable kitchen and wardrobe. We delivered on our target themes of modernity, subtlety, and capacity – all in a cool, light package.
