When Darren began this project the owners wanted this space to create impact. So he created a layout that placed the work rooms (including a scullery, laundry and office) behind the main kitchen. This design feature ensured that the kitchen is a clean and minimalist showpiece that acts as a backdrop to the open plan living area.

Darren used Staron^® in Aspen Glacier on the island bench that is the centre piece of the kitchen design. A seamless Staron^® breakfast bar is also cleverly positioned and tucked away enough as not to detract from the overall design while still providing a functional designated meals area for the client’s young children. The non porous and renewable nature of Staron^® made it the perfect surface solution.

The white-on-white colour scheme has been created with the use of Resene ‘Black White’ lacquer cabinetry and ‘Aspen Glacier’ Staron^®benchtops. Their combined use gives the kitchen a crisp, seamless look that was highly sought after. “Staron^® was selected as the material of choice for its seamless appeal and extreme durability”, Darren says.
