Description:

The Banff Ave Project, designed by Abi Wisnewski, embodies the essence of a luxurious beach resort in the heart of Auckland. Abi’s vision of a tranquil, high-end retreat was brought to life using Corian Valente Grigio and Corian Glacier White. These selection played a crucial role in realizing the design concept.

Corian Valente Grigio, with its black swirls, evoked the image of rolling waves, making it the ideal choice for the kitchen, scullery, and the secret wine cellar. The seamless integration of this material connected these spaces, imparting a sense of luxury and elegance. Corian Glacier White was used for custom vanities in the ensuite and master bathrooms, as well as powder room vanities and the laundry, enhancing the resort-like ambiance while ensuring practicality.

The success of the Banff Ave Project was achieved through the collaborative efforts of a great designer, high quality materials, and a skilled Corian fabricator. Together, they delivered a space that not only met the aesthetic requirements but also showcased exceptional craftsmanship, allowing the design vision to become a reality—a high-end, relaxed, beautiful, and luxurious beach resort in the heart of Auckland.
