For a patisserie chef
With a nod to tradition, this new kitchen teams beadboard cabinetry
with soft Resene shades to subtly evoke a bygone era
Retaining the character of a house built
in 1910 is often the best way to approach
such a renovation project, but it can be
tricky combining tradition with modern
convenience.
This kitchen is within a Remuera
home that was extensively restored over
a 20-year period. Rogan Nash Architects
was responsible for the design of the final
stages of the project, including a new
kitchen for the owners, one of whom is a
patisserie chef.
Although the kitchen is a stand-alone

room, the colours needed to work with the
adjoining rooms.
Resene Jungle Mist, a serene grey blue,
was specified for the walls. This is paired
with Resene Mystic – a tint of esoteric grey
– on the cabinets and trim.
The colours are soft and calm, and
have a sense of refinement well suited to
the era of the house. The blue references
traditional English manor houses, but is
also seen in more modern settings.
Resene recommends walls are painted
in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen, a highly

durable waterborne enamel, while the
trim is best painted in Resene Lustacryl,
and the ceiling in Resene SpaceCote Flat.
