Luxury kitchen design, as part of the whole house.
The kitchen is the room every other room depends on. We design it with the plan around it, not on its own.
Kitchens designed with the plan, not after it.
The best kitchens are decided at the floor-plan stage: where the island sits relative to the garden doors, how the pantry connects to the garage, whether the cook faces the room or the wall. That's why we design kitchens as part of whole-home remodels and new construction, where the layout around them can change too.
We lay out the kitchen in 3D at full scale, then design the cabinetry, stone, appliances, plumbing fixtures and lighting together. You see the finished kitchen in renderings and a 360° tour, open every drawer in the model, and approve it before fabrication. Our team orders samples, visits stone yards and showrooms with you, and procures every piece.
On the Santa Monica bungalow, a closed galley kitchen behind a wall became the center of one long, skylit room running from the entry to the garden.
Kitchens from our projects.
What separates a luxury kitchen from an expensive one.
Layout before finishes
The path from fridge to sink to range, where guests stand while you cook, and how the kitchen meets the garden matter more than any slab.
Storage that disappears
Full-height pantries, appliance garages and drawers sized to what you own keep counters clear without making the room feel like a wall of doors.
Stone laid out on purpose
We lay out the slabs digitally so the veining runs where you want it, especially across waterfall ends and backsplashes.
Light in layers
Task light where you work, soft light for evenings, and daylight from skylights or glass where the plan allows.
Appliances planned early
Panel-ready refrigeration, ventilation routes and clearances are fixed before cabinetry is drawn, not discovered on site.
Built for the long run
Honed and matte surfaces, solid hardware and durable finishes that look better after ten years of real cooking.
Kitchens inside bigger projects.
We focus on kitchens that are part of a whole-home remodel, an addition or a new build, usually alongside the living, dining and family spaces around them. That is where design has the most leverage: moving a wall or a window can do more for a kitchen than any finish.
For planning, design fees for a kitchen scope typically start around $25,000–$60,000 in Los Angeles, depending on millwork complexity and whether structure moves. Construction is budgeted as part of the overall remodel; see our whole-home remodel ranges and the design fees guide.

Questions about kitchen design.
Do you design kitchens on their own?
Our focus is kitchens that are part of a whole-home remodel, addition or new build, where the plan around the kitchen can change too. If your project is kitchen-led but touches the surrounding rooms, we are a good fit.
What does luxury kitchen design cost in Los Angeles?
Design fees for a kitchen scope typically start around $25,000–$60,000, depending on millwork complexity and whether structure moves. Construction and appliances are budgeted separately as part of the remodel.
Can I see the kitchen before it is built?
Yes. Every kitchen is modeled in 3D with the real cabinetry, stone and appliances, and you review it in renderings and a 360° walkthrough before anything is fabricated.
Do you choose the stone and appliances with us?
Yes. We bring samples, visit stone yards and showrooms with you, lay out the slabs, and specify and order the appliances and fixtures.
Which brands do you work with?
It depends on the project and budget. Our brands and materials page lists the appliance, stone, plumbing and lighting makers we specify most often.
