This new family home on Stewart Island is designed with one thing in mind: family. The homeowners wanted akitchen that would be the heart of their household—where everyday meals, casual conversations, and family gatherings could take place in a comfortable yet stylish environment. The Nigel Molloy Joinery team responded with a design that balances both functionality and warmth.

The kitchen features striking dark cabinetry paired with sleek white bench tops, but it’s the natural wood accents that make the space truly special. The warmth of the wood serves to soften the bold light and dark palette, creating a kitchen that feels modern yet cosy. A combination of natural oak cabinetry and wood-grain bench tops brings the beauty of Stewart Island’s surroundings into the home.

In the main kitchen, family and friends can congregate around the large island, while a scullery provides a space for more serious tasks, ensuring that the main area remains clutter-free. This stunning and extremely functional kitchen allows the home-owners to stay out fishing until the sun goes down!
