Perfect Life Balance

About this project

The ultimate goal for this project was something most working families can relate to: a better work/life balance.

Our clients’ long term family home also incorporated their 7-day-a-week business, so they needed us to create an all-important feeling of separation between work and family life.

Top of the wish list: a stylish kitchen that would allow plenty of space for a growing family. They wanted a contemporary take on traditional Shaker style cabinetry. And they asked us to incorporate a separate but connected study nook to keep the family together when working, studying or relaxing.

Colour, texture and millimetre-perfect precision

The kitchen features Shaker style doors finished in 2pac paint, topped with engineered stone benchtops with beautiful natural grain patterns. V groove panelling creates interest, texture and a timeless look. As with all our joinery, the panelling was crafted in-house where we can ensure a millimetre-perfect finish.

Beyond the practicalities, colour selection was an important way to create a sense of harmony for this busy family. The timber flooring perfectly complements the joinery colours.

Given the homeowners were juggling the demands of running a business seven days a week, it was important to help them feel comfortable and confident about the process and end result.

They say this renovation has brought them ‘overwhelming happiness’ and helped them enjoy both their work and family environments. Perhaps that elusive work life balance is possible after all?
