Zen ,and the Art of Beautiful Kitchens

Breaking the mould of back walls and islands, this new kitchen in an expansive new house in Kerikeri exudes calm and peacefulness. There is little that is formulaic about this kitchen – from the round bowl, to the one small window, to the two tone custom rangehood, to the bespoke stained oak island – this is truly a made to order beauty. The upshot is a kitchen that has real sense of quiet and serenity – one that fits perfectly with Pirsig’s thesis that to truly experience quality one must both embrace and apply it as best fits the requirements of the situation.
