German kitchens, built for American homes
Every kitchen is drawn to your home, manufactured in Germany and shipped to the US in a sealed container. We supply drawings in inches and millimeters and coordinate with your architect, general contractor and building management.
What changes when the kitchen crosses a border
- 01
Drawings in inches
Your architect gets elevations and plans in imperial dimensions, with the metric production values alongside. Nothing is lost in conversion on site.
- 02
Appliances sourced in the US
European appliances run on 230 V and 50 Hz. We plan around US-market appliances from brands like Miele, Gaggenau and Sub-Zero, so warranty and service stay local.
- 03
Container to your door
Cabinetry travels crated in a full or shared container to an East Coast, Gulf or West Coast port. A licensed customs broker clears it and a dedicated truck brings it to site.
- 04
Installation on site
Installation is led by a German master carpenter. Where local trades are needed for plumbing, electrics or stone, we brief them with exact drawings before day one.
Where we plan and install
Each city page explains what we plan for locally: buildings, access, climate and logistics.
