PART A — TIMBER FRONTS AGAINST A MARBLE BACKSPLASH. REFERENCE IMAGE.
WOOD. STONE. METAL. THREE MATERIALS, CUT TO YOUR ROOM.
Every Kitchen Atelier kitchen starts as a cut list: panels, benchtops and hardware sized to your walls, not to a catalogue module. The design is drawn for your space, then built in our own workshop.
PART B
FIVE STYLES
Pick the character first. The layout, fronts and benchtop follow from it, and every style is made to measure.

THE SAMPLE BOARD
FRONTS — WOOD
Timber-veneer and wood-finish cabinet fronts, held next to each other as samples.
BENCHTOPS — STONE
Stone benchtop samples, like this white marble with grey veining, laid against the fronts before anything is cut.
HARDWARE — METAL
Metal handles, knobs and fittings, like this brass knob: the parts you touch every day.
PART D
TWO LAYOUTS, ONE ROOM
The two layouts people weigh up most often, side by side. Straight and U-shaped layouts are made to measure too.
L-SHAPED
L-SHAPED · FITS BEST WHEN
Two walls meet in a corner and the rest of the room needs to stay open for a table or a walkway.
L-SHAPED · WORK ZONES
Sink, cooktop and fridge spread along two runs, with the corner used for storage.
L-SHAPED · WHAT CHANGES THE ESTIMATE
The length of both runs, the front material, the benchtop and the appliances you build in.
L-SHAPED · TALK TO THE DESIGNER ABOUT
How the corner cabinet opens and where the benchtop joins.
ISLAND
ISLAND · FITS BEST WHEN
The room has clear space to walk around a freestanding block, and the kitchen doubles as a place to sit.
ISLAND · WORK ZONES
A wall run for tall storage and appliances, and an island for prep, serving or seating.
ISLAND · WHAT CHANGES THE ESTIMATE
The size of the island and wall run, the front material, the benchtop and the appliances.
ISLAND · TALK TO THE DESIGNER ABOUT
Clearances around the island and whether it carries a sink or cooktop.
