European kitchens,
built for Indian cooking.

Three things, none of them the finish. A frameless carcass — the shutter covers the whole box, so there is no visible frame stealing width from the drawer. Handleless fronts, opened by a J-profile, a gola channel or a push-to-open runner. And a floor-to-ceiling composition, where tall units and wall units run to the ceiling line so the kitchen reads as one wall rather than a row of cupboards.

It will, provided the opening detail is chosen for the hand that will use it. A gola or J-profile channel gives you a full grip and wipes clean in one pass — we specify it on the hob and prep runs. Push-to-open looks purer but resents greasy hands and small children, so we keep it for tall units and upper shutters that are opened less often. We will tell you which run gets which, and why.

Usable width and alignment. A frameless box gives you the entire internal opening, which on a 600 mm unit is a visibly larger drawer. It also means the shutters sit edge to edge, so the shadow gap between them becomes the only line your eye reads — which is exactly why it has to be dead consistent. We hold that gap with CNC-drilled hinge lines and levelled carcasses, not by eye.

The oven, the microwave and the dishwasher usually are — putting them behind matching fronts, or inside a tall unit at chest height, is what keeps the elevation calm. The refrigerator is a judgement call: a full-height integrated fridge costs considerably more and is harder to service in Ahmedabad. We price both and let you decide with the numbers in front of you.

By planning extraction first and hiding it second. Indian frying needs far more suction than a European kitchen of the same volume, so the chimney is sized against your cooking, not the catalogue, and the duct takes the shortest route to the nearest shaft — every bend steals suction. The unit is then boxed into the tall run so the wall still reads flat. Where the cooking is heavy, we plan a separate wet or utility kitchen behind it and keep the display kitchen for prep and serving.

Usually yes, and the money goes to specific places: frameless construction, the profile or gola channel, better runners and hinges, tall-unit height, and the flatter, more consistent finishes a handleless front demands. Layout and carcass area cost the same as in any other kitchen. We quote it line by line so you can see exactly what the European detailing is adding.
