Luxury Kitchen Design

Luxury kitchen design as we practice it: solid wood, real wood veneer, metal-look, glass and slate-look fronts, countertops in Silestone, Dekton or Cambria, floor-to-ceiling runs built to the room and lighting planned into the cabinetry, drawn in 3D at our Alexandria showroom.

Luxury is decided in the drawing, long before the installation. These are the decisions, and how each one is made here.

The design is settled on screen before anything is released, because the cabinetry is built to order and cannot be returned.

Island, peninsula, galley, open plan.

By clearances and how the room is used, shown in 3D in your own room before anything is ordered.

Floor to ceiling, or not.

Runs to the ceiling with a ceiling filler panel in the front finish.

The fronts.

Solid wood, real wood veneer, metal-look and slate-look fronts, glass and lacquer, compared at full size on the showroom floor.

The surface and its edge.

Silestone, Dekton or Cambria, judged beside the cabinetry rather than from a sample chip.

Where it comes from.

Lit glass cabinets, lit grip rails and lit plinths, planned into the cabinetry.

Which, and where.

Placed in the drawing so clearances and extraction are resolved before production.

A private design appointment at the Alexandria showroom, complimentary, with no time limit. We review your kitchen, what you want to change and your budget.

We measure the room, the services and the clearances on site.

Layout, cabinetry, countertops and finishes come back in 3D, so you approve the kitchen on screen.

Cabinetry, surfaces, appliances, construction and installation are itemized, so you can see what you are paying for and what moves the number.

The approved specification is ordered. Where walls, plumbing or electrical work change, we handle the permits, and our own team builds and installs the kitchen.

In 2026 our completed kitchen projects ran from $42,000 to $190,000 and up, with most between $90,000 and $145,000. Those are total installed values, not cabinetry prices; cabinetry alone starts at $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one.

Cabinetry alone starts at $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one. The number of carcases is the first thing that moves the price.

Opening the plan adds structural work, electrical and plumbing relocation and a permit. Keeping the layout removes most of that.

Countertops in Silestone, Dekton or Cambria, Porcelanosa tile, lighting and hardware are selected together with the cabinetry, and each choice is itemized.

Handleless flat fronts, grooved real wood, metal-look and glass fronts, soft-matt lacquer, and the interior storage planned around what you keep in the kitchen.

Placed in the drawing so clearances and extraction are right. Priced separately unless the proposal includes them.

Installation by our own team is its own line in the proposal, next to the cabinetry and the surfaces.
