The oven takes centre stage and is flanked on both sides with a low-upkeep white engineered stone benchtop. The glass splashback is matched to the walls for a seamless look. The generous island is a feature of the space. This houses a wine fridge for entertaining. The vein in the waterfall granite benchtop echoes the waters of the Waitemata seen from the deck. For variety, the cabinetry on the east wall is in a white two-pack finish and opaque glass. This houses the coffee machine, a small sink for clean-up and a television – a convenient family drawcard. This cabinetry also accommodates crockery and glassware, and is lit with LED strips that add an ethereal glow in the evenings.
