Le Grande Kiara

I’m excited to share my latest projects at LE Grande Kiara in Mont’Kiara, where I had the opportunity to create a stylish, functional kitchen that perfectly meets the client’s needs. The unique challenge of this project was to complete the kitchen before the client’s family returned from their trip to India. Despite a few supplier-related issues, an extra week of careful coordination allowed us to deliver the kitchen on schedule.

The kitchen is centred around a sophisticated black-and-white colour scheme that blends contemporary style with practical function. The tall and base units feature sleek white 4G glass doors, while the wall units add a layer of contrast and functionality. The accessible section of the wall units uses black 4G glass doors, while the upper section, finished with glossy white eco-plus panels, aligns with the white 4G glass below, creating a cohesive and modern look.

To enhance efficiency and ensure easy access to everything, I integrated several features tailored for convenient daily use. For example, a 200mm spice rack is strategically placed near the cooking area, making spices and seasonings readily accessible during meal prep. A 400-mm multifunction pull-out basket nearby provides easy access to oils, utensils, and other essentials, keeping the workspace organised without crowding the main cooking area.

To support the dishwashing area, I added a 900-mm pull-out dish basket and nine smooth-operating drawers—one equipped with a built-in cutlery organiser. These drawers are designed with heavy-duty undermount runners, ensuring durability and quick access to kitchen items.

We have divided the wall units into sections for the sink and cooking areas to optimise workflow. An elevator basket on the cooking side offers convenient storage for heavier items, positioned within reach yet set back from the hood for easy access.

LED strip lighting under the wall units illuminates the kitchen, creating a well-lit and welcoming workspace. Above the sink, a dish rack keeps drying dishes off the countertop, while an 8mm glass shelf near the cooking side offers a dedicated space for glassware and fine plates.

The worktop and backsplash are crafted from durable porcelain, adding a sophisticated touch to the design, while a 4-by-5-foot island with a bold black quartz top serves as a stunning focal point and provides additional prep space.

For the appliances, I recommended upgrading to the latest SENZ hood and hob models, enhancing the kitchen’s ventilation and performance. The multi-function designer sink, featuring a flexible hose and glass surface controller, adds versatility, while the stainless steel sink carcass ensures durability and leak prevention.

This project showcases how careful planning and well-executed design can meet both aesthetic and practical needs under a strict timeline. I’m incredibly pleased with the outcome and can’t wait to bring more inspired spaces like this to life!
