Project Overview

Project Name: Skycube Residence Condominium
Location: Relau, Penang
Property Type: Condominium
Design Concept: Modern Industrial Kitchen Cabinet
Scope of Work: Kitchen Cabinet, Cabinet Accessories, Countertop & Hardware Installation
Completed By: Kitchen Story Sdn. Bhd.

For this project, Kitchen Story provided custom kitchen cabinet works using membrane press doors and panels, quartz stone countertop, soft closing drawer system, DTC soft closing hinges and convenient accessories such as pull-out basket and dish rack.

The kitchen layout was planned to improve storage, workflow and accessibility, making the space easier to use for daily cooking and household needs.

Design Concept

The design concept for this Skycube Residence kitchen is modern industrial with practical functionality.

The grey cabinet tone gives the kitchen a bold and modern appearance, while the panel-style membrane press doors add visual detail without making the design too heavy. The quartz stone countertop creates a clean and durable work surface, balancing the darker cabinet colour with a brighter, more refined finish.

A brick-style feature wall and grid ceiling detail strengthen the industrial character of the space, giving the kitchen a unique personality compared to a typical condominium kitchen.

The kitchen also includes convenient internal accessories such as pull-out baskets and dish racks, helping the homeowner organise cookware, plates, bowls and kitchen tools more efficiently.

Challenges

1. Maximising Storage in a Condominium Kitchen

Condominium kitchens often have limited space, so the challenge was to create enough storage for cookware, plates, bowls, pantry items and kitchen appliances without making the area feel crowded.

2. Balancing Industrial Style with Clean Practical Use

The homeowner wanted a modern industrial look, but the kitchen still needed to feel clean, bright and easy to maintain. The design had to avoid looking too dark or too heavy.

3. Improving Daily Kitchen Workflow

The kitchen needed to support cooking, washing, preparation and storage within a practical layout. Poor planning could make daily use inconvenient, especially in a compact condominium kitchen.

4. Selecting Durable Materials for Long-Term Use

Kitchen cabinets are used every day, so the material selection, countertop, hinges, drawer systems and accessories needed to be suitable for regular opening, closing, cooking and cleaning.

Solutions

1. Custom Cabinet Planning Based on Actual Site Layout

Kitchen Story designed the cabinet according to the kitchen’s actual measurements and usage requirements. Tall storage, base cabinets, wall cabinets, drawers and internal accessories were planned to make better use of available space.

2. Modern Grey Cabinet Finishing with Quartz Countertop

The grey membrane press cabinet doors created the modern industrial character, while the white quartz stone countertop helped brighten the kitchen and provide a clean working surface.

3. Functional Kitchen Accessories

Pull-out baskets, dish racks and drawer systems were included to make daily storage easier. These accessories help homeowners organise kitchen items more efficiently and reduce clutter on the countertop.

4. Soft Closing Hardware for Better User Experience

Soft closing drawer systems and DTC soft closing hinges were used to make the kitchen more comfortable to use, reducing door and drawer impact during daily operation.

5. Industrial Design Feature with Practical Balance

The brick wall, grey cabinet colour and strong handle details created an industrial look, while the bright countertop and organised cabinet layout kept the kitchen practical and comfortable.

Final Outcome

The completed Skycube Residence kitchen cabinet project delivers a strong modern industrial kitchen design with practical storage and durable finishes. The grey membrane press cabinets, quartz stone countertop, soft closing hardware and convenient accessories create a kitchen that is both stylish and functional.

The final result is a kitchen that supports daily cooking, improves organisation and enhances the overall interior identity of this condominium unit in Relau, Penang.
