Naturally, the kitchen was to become the heart of the home. In addition to a gas oven (fueled by gas bottles, the only energy brought in from outside the house), Rowe and Anning were determined to have the modern version of the old-fashioned Rayburn range. In the winter its attached pipe system heats the house’s water — there is always a pot of stock simmering on the stove — but the house is so warm the heat is more for psychological comfort. Kitchen benches and doors: NZ Totara; Rayburn range: Classic Cookers; copper sink and faucet: All Things Copper; pendant lights: Mr Bead, Mr Ralph; all other wood: MacDirect
