New Build Duplex in Canterbury By Your Way Design

The Vision

For this new build duplex in Canterbury, the client’s goal was clear: create a luxurious, timeless space that felt warm, practical, and perfect for family living. The vision was to blend premium finishes with a modern edge — combining functionality with elegance throughout the home.

Design & Materials

The design leaned heavily into earthy tones and natural textures. We worked primarily with Polytec Florentine Walnut in both flat panel laminate and Steccawood finishes to bring warmth and depth to each space. The standout feature — a curved island in Steccawood — anchors the kitchen with its sculptural presence. LED lighting provisions were integrated throughout to create ambience and highlight material textures, while all joinery was custom-built to align with the architectural flow of the duplex.

The Result

The finished result is a seamless blend of modern luxury and practical living. From the bold curved details to the richness of the Florentine Walnut finish, every element was designed to feel intentional and timeless. This project exemplifies Yourway Design’s ability to elevate new builds with detailed joinery, refined textures, and client-first craftsmanship.
