What We Offer
Existing Layout & Demolition Plans
We begin by drafting a precise representation of your current kitchen. This includes wall locations, windows, doors, structural elements, existing appliances, and service lines.
Our demolition plan highlights what will be removed or altered to make way for the new design - minimizing guesswork and streamlining the transition.
Proposed Floor Plans
Your new kitchen layout is created based on your vision and needs. We consider workflow efficiency the “kitchen triangle”, space utilization, and movement patterns.
Whether you're after a sleek galley, expansive island design, or open-concept layout, we maximize both beauty and practicality.
Cabinetry & Storage Detailing
We draft cabinetry elevations and floor plans that reflect custom or semi-custom designs. This includes:
-
Exact cabinet dimensions and placements
-
Drawer and shelf configurations
-
Pantry design
-
Appliance garages, pull-outs, and vertical storage features
These details help you visualize your kitchen’s functionality and help cabinet makers quote and build accurately.
Lighting & Electrical Plans
Lighting makes or breaks a kitchen’s usability and ambiance. We provide layered lighting layouts that include:
-
Task lighting (under-cabinet)
-
Ambient and recessed lighting
-
Feature pendants or chandeliers

Electrical outlets, switches, and smart controls
All placements are drawn to scale with code references where applicable.
