Enduring interiors

In this calming, connection-focused kitchen, natural textures, clean lines and warm tones create a welcoming atmosphere. Details such as a hidden pantry-bar and integrated coffee nook reflect contemporary living, where every feature is intentional and thoughtfully placed.

At Genia, each project begins with a vision. Whether you are designing a bespoke kitchen, a compact retreat, or a fully clad home. Genia provides the architectural timber solutions to create spaces that feel natural, enduring and beautifully resolved. With exterior cladding and interior linings crafted to elevate both form and function.

This refined Matapouri kitchen is a clear expression of how architectural timber linings can transform a space. Designed to be lived in and enjoyed every day, the impactful design of this kitchen balances practicality with modern design thinking.

Central to the design is Genia’s Castlepoint profile in American Oak. Inspired by the rugged Wairarapa coastline and the iconic Castle Point lighthouse this profile brings a grounded sense of warmth and texture. Its fine grain and natural warmth introduce depth, while its clean geometry pairs seamlessly with stone surfaces to create a timeless contrast.

Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, these solid timber interior linings don’t just finish a room, they define it. Genia works alongside clients to ensure the finish completes the design and is fit for the intended environment. From natural coatings that celebrate the timber’s characteristics to the application of bespoke colours, colour matching and unique effects. In this beautiful kitchen, the Genia timber linings have been perfectly matched to the oak cabinetry.

The Matapouri Kitchen with its refined timber surfaces illustrates how architectural timber linings add character, introduce texture, and shape spaces that feel both enduring and alive.
