Architectural Scope & Joinery Engineering

A contemporary fitted kitchen built for heavy everyday Nigerian cooking while maintaining an immaculate, uncluttered presentation open to the family sitting room. The project features a main show kitchen for entertaining and an enclosed wet kitchen for heavy boiling and prep behind a concealed cabinetry facade.

Carcasses were machined from 18mm high-density moisture-resistant marine boards to prevent swelling from water spills. The front doors are finished in anti-scratch matte lacquer with integrated J-pull aluminum finger grips. The 3.8-meter central island features fluted curved end caps and a 20mm Calacatta quartz waterfall countertop with deep storage drawers on both faces.

Hardware includes Blum Legrabox soft-close drawers tested to 70kg capacity and Aventos bi-fold lift systems for effortless overhead access.
