The KBQ Edit — Design, considered. Subscribe to the Edit, the monthly edit of New Zealand's best kitchen and bathroom design.

Eden Muse is a city kitchen with a soft centre. The geometry is tight and urban, but the materials keep pulling the room back towards warmth.

The composition is carefully layered: solid joinery faces, a considered break for the splashback, and a clear rhythm to how the tall and low elements alternate.

Function is compact and disciplined. Everything is within reach of the cook, and the storage planning does a lot of work in a modest footprint.

It is the kind of kitchen that reads better in person than in plan, because so much of its quality is in surface, edge and light.
