Helping Builders Deliver Dream Kitchens
As a builder, your reputation is built on the details. Every finish, every timeline met, and every delighted homeowner reflects the quality of your work. When it comes to one of the most important spaces in any home – the kitchen – having the right partner can make all the difference.
When builder Mark Frame, of Frame Homes, set out to create the perfect kitchen for this build, he turned to LivSpace, where considered design meets real craftsmanship.
Backed by the strength of CARTERS Building Supplies, LivSpace provides builders with a complete kitchen solution that combines expert design, quality manufacturing and dependable installation. From concept through to completion, the process is designed to be straightforward, efficient and cost-effective, helping builders deliver exceptional results without unnecessary complexity.
For Mark, who has more than 30 years' experience in the industry, that level of consistency is paramount.
"Once the design is confirmed, LivSpace takes care of the site measure and locks in the installation. When you're working to tight timelines, it's important to know everything will happen as planned," he says.
Having partnered with LivSpace Kitchens across several builds, Mark values the ease and reliability of the process. He also specifies LivSpace Flooring for timber-look flooring and carpet, helping keep projects aligned from start to finish.
"Having it all connected makes a difference," he says. "LivSpace being part of CARTERS fits naturally with the way we work – and the CARTERS Advantage programme is a real bonus."
As a builder known for delivering high-value homes, Mark balances craftsmanship with careful cost control. LivSpace kitchens support that approach, offering a refined result while helping keep builds on track.
That same consideration carries through to the materials and finish. Working with trusted New Zealand suppliers, LivSpace combines durable hardware, quality benchtops and resolved detailing, backed by solid warranties and built for everyday living.
The Auckland kitchen featured here is a testament to that approach. Designed in collaboration with Mark – who is also the owner and developer – it strikes a balance between timeless style and practical everyday living.
Today's kitchen, after all, is the heart of the home: a place where families gather, friends connect and everyday life unfolds. More than just a functional space, it sets the tone for how a home feels and flows. That is why getting it right is one of the most important decisions in any new build.
For homeowners seeking a beautifully designed, highly functional kitchen without blowing the budget, LivSpace offers a refreshingly simple solution. Combining expert design, quality craftsmanship and a seamless end-to-end process, LivSpace brings dream kitchens to life.
In this home, crisp white cabinetry keeps the space light and fresh, while full-height joinery maximises storage. At the centre, a white island with wood-look panelling and an integrated sink creates a practical, welcoming hub for everyday living and entertaining.
Every LivSpace kitchen begins with considered design. Auckland head designer Rowena Dooley works closely with each client, guiding them through a simple, collaborative process. From the first consultation, she explores how they live, shaping the design around their needs, style and preferences.
For this project, Mark requested a walk-in pantry.
“This shows how smart design can make the most of any footprint," says Rowena. "A space-saving cavity slider was key, and the timber-look finish inside the pantry adds warmth while tying in with the feature panelling on the island."
Details like these set a LivSpace kitchen apart. Mitred joints create a precise, refined finish, while continuous handles run seamlessly across the cabinetry for a clean, minimalist look.
