Blending Natural Appeal with Modern Design - Akitu Wanaka Residence

Upon entering this inviting space, phrases such as “modern and smart” immediately come to mind. And while the elements within are all the highest quality, there’s an earthy appeal that pulls from the organic tones of nature.

The warm natural light pairs beautifully with the thoughtful green cabinetry and rustic timber finishes. These softer elements provide balance to the strong and striking porcelain kitchen benchtop in Marble Statuario. With its regal grey veins winding their way across the surface of the sleek white base, this style delivers memorably.  

A sense of unity prevails throughout the home by leveraging the same porcelain style in the kitchen laundry, and bathroom. This cohesive aspect of the design boasts a welcoming flow as you move through the space. And while it’s certainly streamlined, the decadent use of features in each area gives each room a unique sense of individuality. From the classic shape of the bathroom sink to the durable porcelain surface in the laundry, routine tasks are upgraded with a luxurious feel.

No detail is too small when adding sophisticated finishing touches to each room. Here, the Siena handles in Brushed Anthracite echo the natural tones of the outdoors while offering convenient access to the items within. The long, vertical orientation of each handle offers a nod to the current trends while maintaining a timeless elegance that’s never out of date.
