At the heart of our business is a simple belief: your home should work beautifully for you—and it should feel like you. We design and build custom kitchens that are not only practical and elegant but also reflect the people who live in them.

Joe and Monique, the husband-and-wife team behind the company, bring a unique combination of skills, experience, and heart to every project.

Monique is a registered architectural designer with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of spatial design. Her architectural training allows her to see the bigger picture of a home—how the kitchen connects with the rest of the living space—and to create layouts that are as efficient as they are visually striking.

Joe brings over 20 years of hands-on experience in residential construction and team leadership. His background gives him a practical, solution-focused mindset and a deep knowledge of how to bring ideas to life in real homes. Together, their complementary strengths ensure a seamless journey from concept to completion.

About us

Since relocating from South Africa to New Zealand in 2019, Joe and Monique have poured their energy into helping everyday families transform their homes. They’re especially passionate about creating kitchens that foster connection, warmth, and the everyday joy of shared meals and moments.

Whether you're renovating your forever home or updating a space to better fit your lifestyle, you’ll find them approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely excited to help.

This is a business built on trust, craft, and the desire to make great design accessible to regular people. Because we believe everyone deserves a home that feels good to live in.
