The heart of the home True to the adage that small, humble beginnings can lead to great things, is the success story that is SWP Interiors Ltd. Located in Avondale, Auckland, the business’ founder and managing director Scott Payn, a master craftsman, has enjoyed considerable kudos in his design and build market despite the company’s relatively small size. The vast portfolio he has built is all the more impressive and endearing in knowing how the business began.
design and build service that creates a high quality, bespoke product.” It is evident that SWP’s clients appreciate this too, commissioning several high spec projects, one of which recently won the Registered Master Builders’ House of the Year Heart of the Home Kitchen Award. “It was a huge, out of the blue surprise for us. I knew that our strategic partner at Paragon Developments had won a gold award in the regionals for the home, which was significant for them given they had not entered awards before. We also knew this automatically put them into the running for the National Awards, of which they received the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award 2017.”
“I started the business in 2005 and operated out of a humble kiwifruit orchard packing shed in Kumeu. The move to Rosebank Road in Avondale came two years ago and Leanne Harley, an NKBA One glance at the award-winning kitchen is enough to highlight exactly why it earned such a affiliated designer, joined the team at this point. respected award. “We have progressively changed our platform on how we operate and we are happy at our current “This kitchen space is an entertainer’s dream. It is contemporary in style yet very classic. All size; a team of seven. While there is room for growth, we love to be able to offer a personalised adjacent rooms link into the main kitchen hub.
A six-metre long granite benchtop island is the showpiece, it is grand and spectacular featuring a Titanium Gold granite benchtop and splashback, expertly crafted by Italian Stone.” Dark stained solid oak panels have been soda blasted to further accentuate the crown cut oak. Soft, light coloured fronts to the remainder of the kitchen and scullery, with matching lacquer and continuous negative details, give a great horizontal, linear feel. Featuring the LEGRABOX drawer system from Blum, the team was able to continue the sleek lines and design with clearly defined shapes and especially high ease of use. LEGRABOX Orion Grey was selected alongside Prime Panels Anthracite Melamine for the internal part of the kitchen. Blum LEGRABOX inner drawers enabled the creation of twin equal drawer fronts throughout while allowing for multiple drawers behind. Tailored to match the Blum LEGRABOX drawers is the Blum AMBIA-LINE drawer storage range – an inner dividing system providing convenient storage solutions.
The main hub of the kitchen is the fully specified scullery with Miele oven tower, induction cooktop and power pack, a large butler’s sink, dishwasher and twin bins, which give the clients all they need to keep the main kitchen clear for guests. The finishing touch to this amazing space is three pairs of 2.7-metre stained cedar doors SWP created to match the oak in the kitchen. Describing the process as “very collaborative,” Payn and his team enjoyed the opportunity to work so closely with the homeowners. Well aware that no organisation stands alone, SWP Interiors thanks all those it has working relationships with, including those on this page: Kitchen Things, Paragon Developments, Burns & Ferrall, and Hardware and Panel Supplies.
