A Culimaat is never chosen from a catalogue. Every kitchen takes shape through a carefully structured process of seven phases, in which we first understand how you live and only then begin to design. From the first meeting in our showroom to the day your kitchen becomes part of everyday life.
A Culimaat cannot be fully captured in images. Materials ask to be touched. Proportions need to be experienced. Details only reveal themselves when you see them up close.
During a personal showroom visit, we take you into the world of Culimaat. You will discover our collection, exceptional materials and innovative applications. Our designers guide you through the Culimaat Collection and show how Signature Elements, concealed techniques and innovative applications can become part of a personal design.
The collection offers inspiration and proven expertise, but never defines the limits of the design. In this way, every kitchen carries the knowledge and signature of Culimaat, while the final design is shaped entirely by the architecture, the space and the life of its owner.
A personal showroom visit takes around one hour and is free of charge and without obligation. You are also welcome to walk in during our opening hours without an appointment. If you would like to be assured of personal guidance and sufficient time with one of our designers, we recommend booking an appointment in advance.
An exceptional design does not begin with drawing, but with listening. During the design consultation, we take time for your story. How do you live? How does your morning begin? How do you cook and entertain guests? Where do you seek calm, and which materials move you?
We look at the architecture and the movement through the space, but also at the daily rituals that need to find their place within it. Your wishes, inspiration, budget and planning together form the first contours of the project.
Do you already have a floor plan, architectural drawing or inspiration images? We would be delighted to receive them in advance. If not everything is known yet, the consultation is precisely where the discovery begins.
The design consultation takes around two hours and is free of charge and without obligation. You will not receive a personal kitchen design during this consultation. We first explore whether your wishes and Culimaat's design vision are a good match.
Your architect or interior designer is most welcome at the design consultation and during the presentations. Culimaat understands that every line, sightline and material choice is part of a greater idea.
Sometimes we develop the kitchen design within the existing architectural vision. Sometimes it emerges through close collaboration. And sometimes a supplied design is translated by us into a technically resolved, production-ready kitchen concept. Always with respect for the original signature.
From our specialised kitchen knowledge, we add expertise in functionality, ergonomics, appliances, technology, materialisation, detailing and manufacturability. This way, the strength of the architectural vision is preserved through to the final realisation.
Slowly, from the conversation and all impressions, a single clear design concept emerges. For the personal design process, we ask a design fee of €2,500 including VAT. This fee represents part of the time, attention and expertise Culimaat invests in your project. Within the process, our designers reserve around twenty hours for design, visualisation and refinement. When you purchase the kitchen, the full design fee is deducted from the kitchen order.
In a cinematic 3D render video, you walk through your future kitchen before anything has been built.
This is the moment your Culimaat comes to life for the first time. In a cinematic 3D render video, we take you through the future space. You see how the light falls, experience the proportions and discover how architecture, materials and distinctive details come together.
You are no longer looking at an idea on paper, but stepping into your future kitchen, as it were. A space that until that moment existed only in the imagination suddenly becomes tangible. During the first presentation, we guide you through the personal kitchen design, the material choices and the design thinking behind it. We also present the accompanying quotation, so you have a complete picture of the design and the investment and can make a well-considered decision.
During the design process, we present the drawings and visualisations extensively in our showroom, so you get a complete and realistic picture of the design.
Due to copyright and the attention and expertise invested in every Culimaat design, we do not share drawings, renders or design files before the final commission. The design fee relates to part of the reserved design time, presentations and development; it does not constitute a purchase of the design itself.
After approval of the quotation and the commission, the relevant drawings and visualisations are of course shared with you and the professionals involved.
After the first presentation, the design deepens. Proportions become final. Materials and appliances come together. The last choices are assessed in relation to one another. What first existed only as atmosphere and spatial concept grows into a design in which beauty, functionality and quality naturally coincide.
We explore how a drawer opens, where a line ends and how technology can be concealed from view. How natural stone continues. How a metal finish adds tension. How different elements find calm within the same composition.
During the second and, if needed, third presentation, we refine the design together until it is exactly right. After approval of the design and the quotation, the next phase begins: translating vision into reality.
Behind every effortless design lies a world that should ultimately remain barely visible. Our technical specialists translate the final concept into a fully realisable design. Constructions are detailed, connections determined and dimensions verified. Materials and appliances are finalised and every component is prepared for production.
We coordinate technical details and schedules with you, the architect, contractor and/or installer. This brings all disciplines together and safeguards the original design concept down to every detail. It is precisely in this invisible phase that the calm you will later experience is created.
The final measurement takes place once the structural situation is sufficiently ready and reliably measurable. From the moment of final measurement, it usually takes around twelve to sixteen weeks until installation. The exact timeline depends on technical complexity, material availability, appliances and the on-site schedule.
During realisation, design, technology and craftsmanship finally come together. Every component is carefully prepared and installed by specialised craftsmen.
We safeguard the design intention, proportions and detailing throughout the entire process. Not only in the grand gestures, but precisely in the transitions and details that make the final design feel calm and effortless.
After installation, we go through the result meticulously. Only when everything functions and feels as intended is the project ready to become part of everyday life.
The end result is more than a kitchen. It is the place where the day begins, where friends gather and where small daily rituals take on meaning. A design that blends naturally into its surroundings while remaining unmistakably Culimaat.
Architecture, shaped around life.
A Culimaat kitchen usually starts at around €50,000. The final investment is determined by the scale, material choices, appliances, technical complexity and detailing.
During the design process, we provide step-by-step insight into the expected investment. This way, you know from the first meeting within which framework the design will evolve, and we can consciously align creative and material choices with your wishes and budget.
Would you like to discover Culimaat first and experience our materials and possibilities? Book a personal showroom visit of around one hour.
Do you already have a concrete building, renovation or kitchen project? During a no-obligation design consultation of around two hours, we discuss your home, wishes, budget and planning with one of our designers.
Both appointments are free of charge and without obligation.
A Culimaat kitchen usually starts at around €50,000. The final investment depends on factors such as scale, material choices, appliances, technical complexity and detailing. An extensive or exceptional project can reach €300,000 or more. During the design process, we provide step-by-step insight into the expected investment.
For the design process, we ask a fixed fee of €2,500 including VAT. In return, we reserve around twenty hours of design time and up to three presentations in our showroom. The process includes a personal design, a 3D render video, floor plan and elevation drawings, insight into the dimensions and an accompanying quotation.
When you purchase the kitchen, the full design fee of €2,500 including VAT is deducted from the order.

You are most welcome to visit the showroom during our opening hours. Would you like to be assured of personal guidance and sufficient time with one of our designers? Then we recommend booking an appointment in advance.
Yes. Both a showroom visit and a first design consultation are free of charge and without obligation. Only when you then decide to start the personal design process do we charge the fixed design fee of €2,500 including VAT.
A showroom visit is intended to get to know Culimaat and our kitchens, materials, detailing and method. During a design consultation, we also look more extensively at your home, wishes, lifestyle, budget, planning and any collaboration with an architect or interior designer.
Both appointments are free of charge and without obligation.
For a showroom visit, we reserve around one hour. A design consultation usually takes around two hours, allowing sufficient time to carefully discuss your wishes, home, budget and planning.
If you already have a floor plan, architectural drawing or dimensions, we would be delighted to receive them before the consultation. Inspiration images and information about your preferred appliances, materials, budget and planning can also help.
Don't have all this information yet? That is no problem. During the design consultation, we map out the most important wishes and starting points together.
No. Culimaat has its own team of experienced designers who can take care of the complete kitchen design for you. You can come to us directly, even if you are not working with an architect or interior designer.
Yes. We regularly and gladly collaborate with architects and interior designers. We speak the language of the architect and understand how important it is that every line, sightline and material choice remains part of the overarching design vision.
From our specialised kitchen knowledge, we complement that vision with expertise in functionality, ergonomics, appliances, technology, material application, detailing and manufacturability.
The collaboration can take different forms:
1. Culimaat designs the complete kitchen within the architectural vision of the architect or interior designer.
2. We develop the kitchen design in close collaboration with the architect or interior designer.
3. We translate a supplied design into a technically resolved, production-ready kitchen design, with full respect for the original design concept.
This way, we bring everyone's expertise together: the spatial vision of the architect and the specialised design and realisation knowledge of Culimaat.
Yes, your architect or interior designer is most welcome at both the no-obligation design consultation and the presentations within the design process. By collaborating early on, we can ensure the kitchen aligns optimally with the architecture, the interior and the technical principles of the home.
Yes. An architect or interior designer can supply an existing design to us. From our kitchen expertise, we assess and refine the design for functionality, ergonomics, technology, material use, detailing and manufacturability.
This way, we preserve the original design vision while ensuring the kitchen is realised to Culimaat standards, both technically and practically.
The kitchens you see in our showroom are not models to choose from. They are kitchens that showcase our vision, possibilities, materials and solutions. Your own kitchen is developed for your space from the very first line.
From the first meeting, we can move quickly. How long the design and decision-making phase takes depends on your wishes and the pace at which choices are made. A design and approval within four weeks is possible. From the final measurement, we usually allow twelve to sixteen weeks until installation.
Preferably as early as possible. By involving Culimaat during the first design or construction phase, we can contribute ideas in good time about the layout, routing, sightlines and required connection points. This prevents important choices from being structurally fixed before the kitchen design is final.
Even if the build or renovation is already well underway, we are happy to explore what is possible within the existing situation.
