The Brief

The homeowner had recently moved into a standard terrace house in the Rimba area. The existing kitchen was builder-grade — basic melamine cabinets with no under-sink protection and exposed chipboard edges.

Their priorities:

  • Separate wet and dry zones with humidity-appropriate materials in the wet area
  • Maximise storage in a compact L-shaped layout
  • Stay within BND 10,000 total budget
  • Complete before Raya (12 weeks from confirmation)

What Made This Work

Clean Cabinet Runs

Standardised cabinet widths with colour-matched fillers give a perfect wall-to-wall appearance. The kitchen runs the full length with a clean, integrated finish.

Wet Zone Engineering

Under-sink area uses moisture-resistant carcass with fully sealed edges. Aluminum kickboards prevent water damage at floor level. 100mm adjustable legs allow ventilation below cabinets.

Blum TANDEM Runners

Concealed drawer runners with integrated soft-close. Rated for 30kg load. Smooth, quiet operation with full extension access to drawer contents.

On-Time Delivery
