CABINET MAKERS: APPLY NOW TO BE PART OF OUR AWARD WINNING TEAM
A famous philosopher once said, “A room without books is like a body without a soul”. Our clients for this project, in this case, a couple, are fans of this view. As avid readers, they had a vision for an extraordinarily huge bookshelf with ladder.
But there was one small problem: they couldn’t find anyone prepared to say ‘yes’ to such an audacious vision. So enter from stage left, us!
As artisans who revel in complex projects, we worked with the client to ideate the bookshelf with ladder design to perfectly fit their living room – and vision – much to their delight.
We made the shelves from Victorian Ash veneer. The ladder is a solid Victorian Ash timber with black hardware. A whitewash with Rubio Monocoat Nordic White was hand-painted all over the surfaces.
The result is a swoon-worthy bookshelf with ladder that is almost floor to ceiling. This magnificent piece of furniture not only pays homage to the beauty of literature. It has become one of the most notable and visually arresting parts of the house, acting as both a functional piece and beautiful as work of art in its own right.

Once the criteria for the Essentials package have been exhausted, any more time will be charged hourly.
We have formulated this package based on seven years of tested research. We have analysed our clients’ journey from research and development through to quote acceptance for one bespoke designed quality kitchen for the average family home.
We discovered that 90% of clients who have already researched their design and lifestyle needs for their cabinetry would run with their first strong idea because it is the most considered concept.
The purpose of the package is a concise way for our seasoned professionals to take a pragmatic approach to refine your considerations.
If you find this package does not suit your needs, then we recommend selecting the Comprehensive option, where you can allow time to explore more options.

Legacy of the Antipodes holds the intellectual property rights to our unique style of flood-resilient cabinets that have been engineered, designed and tested to meet our renowned high standards.
While we can accept input from other design professionals, we expect to spend time researching and verifying the design to ensure it meets our standards.
Suppose you have already engaged with a reputable, experienced professional interior designer or architect. In that case, it is normal for us to receive a set of finalised floor and elevation plans that include measurements and a specified list of materials (product schedule). Each designer’s methodology and scope of works can be different.
If plans are missing details, we may be able to make a provisional price range which will have to be refined further during subsequent consultation time. During peak times, we request you return to your original designer for a complete design; otherwise, your will experience a delay in our process.
PRO TIP: The more detail your designer specifies, the less likely you will find unrealised costs across the entire construction project, not just cabinetry.
Yes, we love working on large projects like commercial shop fitting.
It is essential to ensure that all commercial projects are highly durable as they command higher usage than domestic ones. In addition, food premises need to ensure fit-outs are food-safe compliant.
Both front and back-of-house projects involve more research and are on a larger scale than domestic projects; therefore, we recommend working on the Comprehensive service.
We offer in-house Interior Design services with our Director, Lisa. She can assist with a full-service interior design to round out the room or an entire home.
Laurent will only coordinate the benchtop supply and installation and any in-house metalwork. Lisa sources and manages all other trades under our Interior Design portfolio of services.
