A Small Kitchen Where Workflow Was the Real Problem
This Sector 7, Rohini kitchen had not been renovated for almost six years. The footprint was compact — roughly 6.5 feet on a single wall — so the answer was not to force in more cabinetry. The opportunity was to make the existing run work harder.
The homeowners’ daily routine made that especially important. With most cooking happening during a short morning window, the sink, stove, fridge movement and everyday storage all needed to work without creating unnecessary steps or clutter.
What We Changed
The stove was shifted 18 inches to create better elbow room around the sink and improve the working relationship between the main preparation points.
A tall pull-out was introduced where the old sagging shelf had been, giving dedicated space for tiffin boxes and spice jars.
Warm oak laminate was used on the base cabinets while the overheads stayed white acrylic, helping the compact kitchen feel brighter.
Materials & Finish
The recorded specification uses BWP-grade waterproof ply for the cabinetry, warm oak laminate on the base units and white acrylic on the overhead cabinets. The combination was chosen around everyday practicality and the limited natural light reaching this side of the flat.
The Site Issue That Changed the Timeline
During installation, the existing chimney electrical point was found on the wrong wall. Rerouting it added four days to the programme. The project record notes that this measurement-related issue was absorbed by the team rather than passed on to the homeowners.
The final measurement-to-handover timeline was 19 days, including the electrical rework.
Project Cost & Scope
| Cost / scope item | Recorded project detail |
|---|---|
| Cabinet core | BWP-grade waterproof ply |
| Base cabinet finish | Warm oak laminate |

| Electrical rework | Chimney point rerouted; 4 extra days |
| Final recorded project budget | ₹2.4 lakh |
The project record contains a total budget but does not provide an item-by-item rupee breakup. We have intentionally not invented a component-wise cost split.
The Result
The biggest change was not visual. The mixer could be stored inside a pull-out instead of occupying the counter, the stove gained more usable elbow room, and the fridge movement no longer fought the working area. For a compact straight kitchen, storage planning and circulation mattered as much as the finish.
