New Construction Kitchen Design in Royal Oak, MI

Every new construction kitchen design project we take on in Royal Oak starts with a site visit. Homes in Oakland County vary enormously in age, ceiling height and mechanical routing, so we verify the room in person before a single line is drawn. That visit tells us where the plumbing and electrical actually run, how square the walls are, and which ideas are realistic inside your budget.

Royal Oak rewards a careful hand. Bungalows, tudors and craftsman homes here have proportions and trim details worth keeping, and the fastest way to devalue one is to install a kitchen that ignores them. Our approach is to modernize the way the room functions while keeping the language of the house intact — matching reveal depths, respecting window heights, and letting cabinetry meet original casing cleanly.

On a new build, the kitchen should be designed before framing is finalised. Window placement, ceiling height, door swings, structural posts, HVAC runs and the flue path for ventilation all constrain what the room can become. Bringing us in at that stage lets us position them in favour of the layout rather than working around decisions already poured in concrete.

We produce a coordination package your trades can build from: dimensioned plans and elevations, an appliance schedule with rough-in requirements, electrical and lighting layouts, plumbing locations, blocking requirements for hoods and shelving, and flooring and ceiling interfaces. That single reference is what prevents the outlet in the wrong place and the soffit that fights the cabinetry.
