01
Material range
Lacquers, wood, glass, porcelain, laminates, and technical surfaces create different levels of colour, texture, reflection, and durability.
Kitchen systems
The ARAN kitchen range
ARAN kitchens move across modern, design-led, classic, and contemporary directions. The range covers reduced handleless compositions, warmer cabinet fronts, open shelving, tall storage, island layouts, and a broad material palette.
The value is choice without losing consistency. A kitchen can feel quiet and architectural, warmer and more tactile, or more traditional, while still coming from one Italian cabinet system.
02
Design direction
Minimal, handleless, warmer, and more classic cabinet expressions can be shaped around the character of the home.
03
Kitchen elements
Islands, tall units, drawers, shelves, worktops, and open details are composed as parts of the same room.
Kitchen planning
Planned for daily use
A kitchen should make daily routines feel natural. Food preparation, appliance access, storage, cleanup, and movement through the room all shape the layout before the final material direction is chosen.
ARAN gives the project a broad planning language. It can become quiet continuous cabinetry in an open-plan home, a warmer material-led kitchen in a renovation, or a more structured composition for a larger residence.
Cooking flow
Work surfaces, appliance placement, and nearby storage are planned around preparation, cooking, serving, and cleanup.
Storage
Tall units, drawers, shelving, and internal organization are considered as part of the kitchen layout from the beginning.
Room context
The kitchen is reviewed against sightlines, natural light, adjacent living areas, and the scale of the surrounding interior.
Project fit
For homes and larger projects
In Vancouver and across British Columbia, the kitchen often sits at the centre of the main living area. It needs to handle daily use, visible cabinetry, appliance planning, and material decisions with the same level of control.
ARAN works across custom homes, renovations, multi-family interiors, and developer projects where consistency, finish control, and made-to-measure planning matter.
Open-plan homes
Cabinetry visible from several angles
Islands, tall units, wall runs, and finishes are considered from the kitchen, dining area, living room, and main sightlines of the home.
Custom homes and renovations
Made-to-measure planning for real site conditions
Dimensions, services, appliance openings, lighting, and surrounding materials are reviewed before the cabinetry is specified.
Multi-family and developer projects
Consistency across more than one kitchen
Larger residential projects need repeatable specifications, coordinated finishes, clear drawings, delivery planning, and local support.
Kitchen details
Materials, surfaces, details
An ARAN kitchen is read through the surfaces people see and touch every day. Cabinet fronts, worktops, edge lines, open elements, and storage interiors all shape the character of the room.
At KI Atelier, material direction is reviewed with the full kitchen in mind. Colour, texture, reflection, durability, appliance finishes, and surrounding materials are considered together before the final specification is confirmed.
Cabinet fronts
Lacquer, wood, glass, porcelain, laminate, and technical surfaces establish the main visual direction of the kitchen.
Worktops and edges
Worktop thickness, edge lines, backsplash surfaces, and transitions affect the proportion of islands and cabinet runs.
Storage interiors
Drawers, tall units, shelves, accessories, and internal organization define how the kitchen feels in daily use.
Gallery
Kitchen views and details
ARAN kitchens are best understood at more than one scale. A full room view shows proportion and composition. Detail views show how cabinet fronts, islands, storage, worktops, and material transitions come together.
Project process
From design direction to site coordination
An ARAN kitchen moves through layout decisions, technical drawings, finish selection, appliance requirements, ordering, delivery timing, and site readiness before it reaches the final stage.
KI Atelier works with homeowners, designers, architects, builders, and developers through specification and coordination, so the kitchen is handled as part of the wider project.
01
Design direction
Review the layout, sightlines, island scale, cabinet composition, storage needs, and the role the kitchen should play in the home.
02
Specification
Confirm cabinetry, worktops, finishes, appliances, storage accessories, hardware, and technical requirements.
03
Ordering and delivery
Align product confirmation, production timelines, site readiness, delivery planning, and the project schedule.
04
Site coordination
Carry drawings, product documentation, and project notes into the final stage so the kitchen arrives with the right context.
