Nestled on the rugged slopes of Castlehill,
Canterbury, this open-plan, log-built home
combines rugged good looks with ease of living.
NKBA President Heather Wood CKDNZ
created the home’s classic kitchen while Stewart
Scott Cabinetry manufactured and installed it.
“Although the kitchen space was small, a
clear brief was to design a 50s-style functional
kitchen with ‘mod cons’ hidden away. The solid
cabinetry was made using ply as substrate,
exposing the edges, which are oiled. Imported
high-pressure laminate, in a cool m int chosen by
the owners, contrasts the rich-toned log walls.

To complete the look, the Smeg Retro Style
Victoria Freestander oven, dishwasher and
fridge were specified. These present the perfect
marriage of classic looks and modern function.
For example, the 271L Retro refrigerator boasts
automatic defrost, the Retro dishwasher offers a
handy half load wash option and delay timer,
while the versatile Retro cooker has three ovens.

kitchen reflects up-to-the-minute
functionality. The cabinetry has

advantage of three separate ovens.
