Free consultation · No obligation · Tauranga & Bay of Plenty
Crafted for the Way The Lakes Lives.
The Lakes is one of Tauranga's premier residential developments — a thoughtfully master-planned community with executive homes, lake frontages, curated streetscapes and a standard of finish that reflects serious investment. The homes here are built to a higher specification than most of Tauranga, and the joinery should match.
We work regularly with The Lakes homeowners and their builders — providing premium kitchen packages, full wardrobe suites, sculleries, laundries, home offices and bespoke storage for both new builds and existing homes. At this level, every specification decision matters: stone profile, handle finish, hardware brand, cabinetry thickness.
Our design approach at The Lakes starts with the home and the homeowner's brief — not with a showroom catalogue. Every kitchen and joinery package we deliver in The Lakes is designed from scratch, manufactured at our Tauriko workshop, and installed with the precision the community demands.
Kitchens in The Lakes: What Works Here.
The Lakes homes are predominantly in the $900,000 to $2M+ price range, with some of the more premium lake-frontage properties exceeding that significantly. At this level, buyers are sophisticated and have high expectations. The joinery inside the home needs to reflect the same investment and intention as the architecture, the landscaping and the exterior finish.
The most common project we undertake in The Lakes is a complete kitchen package — fully bespoke design with premium engineered or natural stone benchtops, integrated Miele or Fisher and Paykel appliances, custom cabinetry in lacquered or timber veneer finishes, and a connected scullery designed to the same specification as the main kitchen.
We also design and install full wardrobe suites for The Lakes homes — particularly master bedroom walk-in robes where the expectation is a boutique retail-level experience. Integrated LED lighting, soft-close drawer banks, full-length mirror panels, his-and-hers hanging zones, and velvet-lined jewellery storage are all elements we include regularly.
For The Lakes homeowners considering a joinery package on a new build, the critical piece of advice is: involve your joiner early. The best joinery outcomes happen when the joiner is part of the design conversation before the building consent is lodged — not brought in after the builder has finalised dimensions. We are happy to work at that stage and are experienced doing so.

The Joinery Edit Difference.
The Joinery Edit has been designing and building bespoke kitchens and custom joinery in Tauranga since 2002. In that time, we have worked with hundreds of homeowners across the Bay of Plenty — including many in The Lakes — and we bring genuine local knowledge to every project we take on.
We work exclusively in the premium residential space. Not because we want to be exclusive, but because we believe quality takes time, skill and genuine attention to detail. We do not cut corners. We do not rush. And we do not recommend anything we would not put in our own homes.

The Lakes Joinery FAQs.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners in this area.
Do you work on executive new builds in The Lakes?
