Design in a modernist setting, this kitchen achieves a stunning statement whilst maintaining essential practicality.

AI summary
This dramatic black kitchen in a Takapuna home, designed by Chris Tate, serves as the focal point of a modernist open-plan living space. It masterfully balances bold aesthetics with everyday function.
Key features include high-contrast materials like ‘Titanium Gold’ granite from Italian Stone and black-stained cabinetry. While there's no full scullery, a clever "half scullery" conceals small appliances. The result is a stunning yet practical space praised for its scale and ease of use.
