Situated on Waiheke Island, the Mawhiti house by Stevens Lawson Architects admires sweeping views of the gulf. Carefully designed to live in harmony with the surrounding landscape the structure makes a statement while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint. The timber-clad chefs kitchen features an Arena kitchen mixer in chrome, embodying a blend of durability and industrial-inspired design. Reminiscent of the traditional workshop vice, the solid brass Arena tapware collection is manufactured in Italy and offered in 7 finishes. Its distinctive feature lies in the knurled handle, adding a touch of uniqueness to the design.
