Gleniti Oasis
DNKBA Silver Kitchen Design at the 2025 NKBA Excellence in Design Awards — kitchen by Candice Stanley of Mooi Design, Canterbury.
Gleniti Oasis is built around calm. The palette stays close to natural timber and soft neutrals, and the room lets those two things carry the atmosphere rather than reaching for contrast.
There is a clear division of labour in the plan. The island is where the household gathers and lands; the working wall behind it absorbs the noisier business of cooking, appliances and storage.
Grain direction has been treated as a design decision. Timber runs continue across drawer fronts and panels, which keeps large areas of joinery reading as single planes instead of a grid of doors.
Openings and sightlines have been protected. From the bench you can see out and across, and the kitchen keeps its connection to the rest of the home without becoming a corridor.
