Kitchen Design
Architect-led kitchens designed around the way you cook, work and gather
A successful kitchen needs to do more than look good.
Bespoke Architects considers movement, storage, preparation, appliances, lighting, materials and the relationship between the kitchen and the surrounding building. The result is a kitchen that feels integrated, functions efficiently and is tailored to the people who use it.
Our Kitchen Design service is available for new and existing residential and commercial projects.
Suitable for
New homes and residential developments
Kitchen renovations and extensions
Apartments, townhouses and heritage homes
Workplace kitchens and staff breakout areas
Hospitality, accommodation and community projects
Display suites and shared residential facilities
Clients who already have a builder or cabinetmaker
Builders and developers requiring an independent architectural design
Independent design advice
Our recommendations are not tied to a particular cabinet supplier, product range or showroom.
We can work with your preferred builder, joiner and suppliers, allowing the design to be quoted competitively and adapted to your project budget.

Our process
Brief — We discuss your requirements, budget, appliances, storage needs and how the kitchen will be used.
Review — We inspect the existing space or review the current architectural drawings.
Plan — We test circulation, work zones, storage and the relationship with adjoining rooms.
Design — We develop the cabinetry, materials, appliances, lighting and architectural details.
Refine — The design is presented for review and updated following consolidated feedback.
Document — You receive the agreed drawings and schedules for pricing or construction.
Coordinate — If engaged, we assist with quotations, shop drawings and construction-stage questions.
Important information
Standard package prices are based on one kitchen of conventional complexity. Larger kitchens, multiple preparation areas, commercial food-production facilities, extensive butler’s pantries or substantial structural changes will be quoted separately.
Cabinetmakers remain responsible for fabrication drawings, final site measurements, hardware selection and construction tolerances.
Builder, consultant, authority, permit, engineering, building-surveyor, quantity-surveyor, product-supply and installation fees are not included unless expressly listed in our proposal.
