2024 Interior Awards, Residential Kitchen Award winner
Congratulations to this year’s Residential Kitchen Award winner — Home Sweet Home by Rogan Nash Architects.
The jury’s comment:
“Influenced by a variety of design classics and colour blocking, this humble yet refined kitchen channels a 1980s’ Euro-style vernacular right out of the pages of Abitare, with a playful and creative use of pattern and tone. Rigorously planned and executed, with a considered and sophisticated colour and material palette, this kitchen brings the fun to the heart of the home. Right down to the skirting details, the designers have absolutely succeeded in turning everything up a notch, somehow achieving an impeccable balance between the ‘mismatched and pleasing’.”
PROJECT DETAILS:
Location: Grey Lynn, Auckland
Client: Private
Building area (m2): 190m2
Project brief: The client, a family of four, wanted us to provide a kitchen which was playful and not all white. They were really keen on the concept of colour blocking and wanted us to interpret this in the kitchen scheme. The trick was to make sure the kitchen still felt calm and suited to family life.

“We spent time thinking about our concept and looking at design references. For the colour palette of the kitchen, we referenced colour blocking as it is seen in the world of fashion, for example the collections of Missoni and Diane von Furstenberg. For the tiling to the island bench, we looked at the tiling of traditional European ‘milk bars’, where there is often a juxtaposition of differing tile selections. The home has been awarded a Homestar for Design and Construction.” - Kate Rogan and Eva Nash.
