Spec’d to Impress – Wanaka Home

Set in the stunning surrounds of Wanaka, this kitchen was designed and built by Build Beyond with the intention to impress but keep things functional and family-friendly. Created for a spec home, the goal was to build something truly special — a kitchen that would stand out to potential buyers for all the right reasons.

‍

From the curved Dezignatek Swerve panels on the island and rangehood to the elegant Infinity Chianco Di Ostuni porcelain benchtop and splashback, this space is all about clean lines and subtle sophistication. Floating timber shelves frame the back wall, bringing warmth and depth, while the shark-nose profiles and integrated appliances keep everything crisp and modern. The colour palette of Prime Baroque Timberland cabinetry paired with a painted Dulux Hast island reflects the natural tones of the Wanaka landscape and adds just enough contrast to keep things interesting. Every detail — from the curved negative detailing to the soft-close drawers — was thoughtfully executed to create a kitchen that’s stylish, practical, and full of personality.
