Cranko Architects

A French woman, an Australian man, a Georgian-style Gray-Young house needed a kitchen to match both the formal and informal entertaining and family requirements – including the mainly New Zealand-born children. They wanted real timber joinery, not chipboard or veneer, and a butler’s sink well before the fashion came to Wellington. The Rayburn stove keeps the heart of this house warm using wood from the property. It’s an under-stated result, highly functional for all catering occasions.
