When we started creating the kitchen for our new NZ Louvres showhome in Cambridge, our goal was to create an entertainer’s dream. After all, who doesn’t want a kitchen that enables them to host amazing dinner parties, where the spectacular food is only topped by the incredible wine selection? We certainly do! And, boy, did Fisher & Paykel come to the party!
First up in that equation was finding the right fridge. We wanted one that not only has excellent capacity but that keeps our various items fresher for longer, minimising the number of soggy vegetables likely to be found down the back three weeks later! Enter the next generation in Fisher & Paykel refrigeration – our 900mm ActiveSmart French Door fridge. With new flush-fit design and the ability to be integrated behind our kitchen cabinetry, this family-size refrigerator offers a seamless look while keeping everything crisp and fresh with ActiveSmart Foodcare.
You know those ads where someone bites into a piece of watermelon and the noise it makes is the highlight? They are not exaggerating. The technology in this fridge allows you to change the settings on your vegetable drawers according to what you’re storing, ensuring the right level of moisture for optimum crunch! While we’ve opted for beautiful, matching cabinetry fronts, as seen below, you can also order it with matte stainless steel doors (pictured above).

Would you like a glass of perfectly chilled wine with that? Sauvignon blanc or pinot gris? When it comes to dream kitchens, it wouldn’t be complete without a wine cabinet.
Fisher & Paykel Wine Cabinets combine sophisticated and practical design with optimal storage and display solutions.
This cabinet offers perfect temperature control, as any wine-lover will tell you white and red wine require different temperatures for ideal storage. It has dual zones that can be easily set between 5°C and 20°C using the touch control panel, which also controls the LED lighting and de-mist functions.

And finally, dishes. If you’re going to host large dinner parties, doing the dishes by hand is definitely not an option. But we also wanted the ability to put smaller loads on, for better water and power efficiency, which is why we chose a Double DishDrawer.
It has been conveniently positioned at bench height so loading and unloading requires minimal bending.
Each drawer holds a true half-load for guilt-free small washes and fast turnaround. Each drawer operates independently so different wash cycles can operate simultaneously to accommodate a variety of loads, perfect for that mix of pots and pans and glassware at the end of a delicious meal.
We are absolutely thrilled with our Fisher & Paykel appliances. It’s great to know we’re not only supporting a valued New Zealand company, but we’re also getting leading technology and high quality goods. Be sure to click through to check out their range for your next project.
