The Fisher & Paykel Kitchen Design of the Year award was won by Wanaka designer Melanie Craig (Melanie Craig Design Partners), with this contemporary kitchen It also won the Resene Best Use of Colour .
Wanaka designer Melanie Craig was announced the winner of the supreme Fisher & Paykel Kitchen Design of the Year award. The judges commented on the excellent use of materials in the kitchen, which include glass, American oak veneer, concrete block, quartz and stainless steel. “Form and a combination of warm and cool colours clearly organise the space and the zones within it – in particular, the welldened coffee station.”
Concrete blocks wrap the pantry and sandwich the stainless steel refrigerator. This in turn engages the stainless steel bench underneath the stone benchtop that resembles a table. On the back wall, black Techlam wraps over the raised cooking zone, providing set-down space for hot dishes without interrupting the ow of the work areas. The Techlam ties the coffee nook into the main kitchen, while the low oak drawer front that exposes the coffee cups provides detail to help personalise the space. continued on next page
