Kitchen interiors · Nagpur, Maharashtra
A modular kitchen is only as good as its plan. We start with how your family cooks, choose the layout the room can actually take, and detail every unit before it is made.
We reply within 1–2 working days. No call centre — you speak to the studio.
Why us
Most people begin with the finish — the colour of the shutters, the look of the counter. In practice the layout decides how the kitchen feels to use every day, and the layout is set by the room: its shape, where the door and windows fall, and where the water and gas points already are.
We plan a modular kitchen in that order. First the room and the way you cook, then the layout, then storage inside it, and only then the finishes. Kitchens planned this way still look good, but more to the point they are pleasant to work in at seven in the morning.
01
Two adjoining walls, with the corner doing the heavy lifting. It suits most Nagpur flats, keeps the hob, sink and fridge within easy reach and leaves room for a small table if the space allows.
02
Two facing runs with a walkway between. A good fit for long, narrow rooms and for households that cook together; the walkway needs enough width for two people to pass with a drawer open.
03
Three walls of counter and storage. It gives the most worktop and cupboard space in a modest footprint, but needs a room that is wide enough that the middle does not feel closed in.
04
Adds a work surface and casual seating in the middle of a larger room. It only works where there is clear space all round; in a compact kitchen it gets in the way.
In detail
Good kitchen storage starts with a list, not a catalogue. Count the vessels, the appliances, the daily-use items and the bulk groceries, then decide where each lives. Tall units for bulk storage, deep drawers for pots and pans, and a dedicated place for the mixer and other small appliances usually do more for daily comfort than any amount of extra cupboard.
Finishes are a choice with trade-offs. Laminate, acrylic, membrane-pressed and painted shutters all behave differently around heat, oil and cleaning, and the carcass material matters as much as the shutter because kitchens sit near steam and water. We explain those trade-offs against how you cook before you choose, and we specify each item by name in the drawings so what arrives on site is what you approved. Our guide to plywood vs MDF and laminate vs acrylic sets out those trade-offs in more detail.
Hardware is where a kitchen wears out first. Hinges, drawer runners and lift-up fittings are opened hundreds of times a year, so we list them in the specification rather than leaving them to the fabricator. Plan the counter height, the hob and chimney position and the lighting under the wall units at the same time, so the fitting on site is assembly, not improvisation.

How we work
Step 01
We measure the room and record the door, window, water, drain and gas positions, and any beams or columns.
Step 02
Daily cooking, the number of cooks, the appliances you own and the vessels that have to be stored.
Step 03
Two or three layouts drawn to scale, so you choose between real alternatives on paper.
Step 04
Unit-by-unit drawings, finish and hardware approved by you, then supervised fitting and a snag list.

Questions
For most flats the L-shaped or parallel layout is the practical choice, because it fits the typical room and keeps the cooking triangle short. The right answer still depends on where your door, window and services fall, so we test two or three options on the plan before recommending one.
A modular kitchen is built from standardised, factory-finished units in set widths, then fitted on site, so finish and alignment are more consistent. A carpenter-made kitchen is built on site to fit any dimension. Many good kitchens combine the two, using made-to-fit panels where the room is not square.
With Indian cooking, yes — oil and steam settle on everything otherwise. The duct route to an outside wall should be settled on the plan, because it affects the hob position and the ceiling above it, and it is hard to change once the units are fitted.
Ask for the drawings with every unit dimensioned, the specification of shutter, carcass and hardware written out, and how the counter, plumbing and electrical points will be coordinated. If those exist on paper before production starts, fitting on site is straightforward.
Yes. A single kitchen gets the same written scope and drawings as a full home, and we can coordinate it with the rest of your interiors if you want that.
