AI summary
Small kitchens can be big on style and function, as shown by five inspirational New Zealand designs.
Projects by Cheshire Architects and in Pukenui Forest use timber and stone for a refined, modern look. A Punakaiki Forest cabin embraces its surroundings with oiled timbers, while a bach by architect Stacey Farrell has a rustic, vintage feel. Another design takes cues from DOC huts, proving that clever material choices create beautiful, high-performance kitchens in any compact space.
