A Bayview Family Kitchen: Luxury Queenstown Renovation

This architecturally impressive Queenstown kitchen renovation blends understated luxury with practical family living. The goal was to create a light-filled, welcoming space that would showcase Lake Wakatipu’s views while seamlessly housing premium appliances, ample storage, and thoughtful detailing.

‍

Every surface and element was chosen for both form and function. A 20mm Dekton ‘Rem’ porcelain benchtop and matching upstands provide a sleek, seamless work surface, while painted Maryland-profile cabinetry in ¼ Rice Cake and Crown Cut American White Oak veneer bring warmth and balance. The addition of Archant Wovenpanel feature panels in ‘Staten Dark Oxide’ adds richness and texture. Integrated LED strip lighting was thoughtfully planned across shelving and pantry units to highlight form without clutter, while Buster + Punch smoked bronze handles and Legrabox silk-white drawers add a premium, polished finish. Behind the scenes, details like concealed spice trays, pull-out bins, and Ambia-line accessories ensure the space functions just as beautifully as it looks.
