Kitchens in Titirangi, Auckland | MTN Kitchens

23+ years in trade · 2,000+ kitchens supplied & installed across Auckland · Laminex NZ fabricator

Titirangi sits over on the western side, but the trip from our East Tamaki workshop across the SH20 and through the Waterview tunnel is an easy run, so when you choose MTN Kitchens you are dealing with a manufacturer who builds your kitchen and comes out to fit it - not a showroom that passes your job to a subcontractor and disappears.

We have been making and installing kitchens for 23-plus years, more than 2,000 of them, and because we own our workshop and fabricate through Laminex NZ, you pay trade price with no showroom markup on top. Titirangi homes are rarely off-the-shelf, and neither is the way we price and build for them.

It is one job, one team, start to finish. We measure on site, draw your kitchen in our free online 3D designer so you can see it before you commit, get a firm quote back to you within 24 hours, and once you approve it we build it in the workshop and install in 5 to 7 days.

What we do in Titirangi

Renovating the mid-century architect home

Titirangi is full of 1960s and 70s architect-designed homes built into the bush - timber-clad, split-level, big glass looking out to the trees. The original kitchens in these are usually small and closed off. We open them up and rebuild them in finishes that respect the era, keeping the connection to the bush rather than fighting it.

Kitchens for steep, split-level sites

A lot of Titirangi houses step down the slope, so the kitchen often sits on a mid-level between the living and the deck. We are used to working with tricky access, changes in floor level and awkward runs, and we template carefully on site so the cabinetry fits the real space, not a guess.

Design-led renovations that bring the bush in

Plenty of owners out here want something considered - a kitchen that reads as part of an architectural home. We build to that brief: full-height glass-facing runs, timber-look or matte finishes, and layouts planned around the light and the outlook rather than a standard box of cupboards.

Character villas and bungalows near the village

Closer to Titirangi village and down toward French Bay there are older weatherboard villas and bungalows with tired, cramped kitchens. We reconfigure these into practical open layouts and replace the old cabinetry with durable 2-pac or Melteca finishes that still suit the age of the house.

Local context

Titirangi covers a real spread of housing, but the thread running through it is the bush. Homes here are built onto steep, native-covered sections in the Waitakere foothills, and a big share of the stock is 1960s to 1980s timber and split-level design, much of it architect-drawn to make the most of the outlook. Cedar cladding, cantilevered decks and floor-to-ceiling glass are common, and the kitchen is often the room that got left behind when everything else opened up to the trees.

Around Titirangi village and down toward French Bay you also find older weatherboard bungalows and character homes, while the streets running out to Woodlands Park, Konini and Waima hold a mix of original bush homes and newer design-led rebuilds. It is a suburb where people tend to renovate for the long term rather than flip, so the kitchens they want are considered and built to last.

The neighbouring suburbs share the same character - Green Bay, French Bay, Laingholm and Woodlands Park all sit in the same bush-clad pocket, with Glen Eden and New Lynn a little further down the hill. We cover all of them, and the steep-site, timber-home style of build is exactly the kind of work we do week in, week out.
