AI summary

This Auckland kitchen, part of a villa extension by Jones Architects, was designed by Spatial Studio for a nutritionist. Practicality was a top priority, leading to custom L-shaped oak handles that are both functional and discreet.

The island features a mitred edge and contrasting veneers for a minimalist, textured effect. A key consideration was the client's health, requiring the use of natural materials and safe installation processes to ensure her well-being in the space.
