The Inplace Kitchen Philosophy

A kitchen is not just
a room. It is where
your home begins.

We have spent 25 years listening to how Southern California families actually use their kitchens. Not how they imagine they will use them — how they actually live. Morning coffee rituals, dinner parties that last until midnight, children doing homework on the island, cookbooks stacked by the window.

Every design decision we make is informed by that reality. The height of a countertop. The depth of a drawer. The placement of an outlet. The weight of a door. These are not afterthoughts — they are the work.

Function first. We design around how you cook before we design how it looks. Layout, workflow, and ergonomics are resolved before a single finish is selected.
Materials of consequence. We source from the same European manufacturers supplying the world's finest residential projects — materials that improve with age, not despite it.
One standard, every time. Whether your kitchen is 200 sq ft or 800 sq ft, the same precision and care goes into every component, every joint, every millimetre.

SieMatic Collections

Four style worlds.
One exceptional standard.

Each SieMatic collection expresses a distinct design philosophy — from the pure minimalism of the SLX to the expressive material language of the Mondial. All share the same German engineering, the same precision fabrication, and the same exceptional hardware.

Materials & Finishes

The materials that make
the difference.

Every surface, every finish, every hardware component is specified with the same care as the layout. These are materials chosen to be lived with for decades.

01
Cabinet Finishes

Matte lacquers, high-gloss lacquers, real wood veneers, and glass fronts — all finished and sealed in European factories under controlled conditions. Colors are matched to international standards and remain consistent across every component of your kitchen.

Lacquer · Veneer · Glass · Ceramic
02
Countertop Materials

Marble, quartzite, granite, sintered stone, and stainless steel — sourced and specified to complement your cabinetry selection. We work with premium stone suppliers to find slabs that are not just appropriate, but exceptional.

Marble · Quartzite · Granite · Dekton
03
Hardware & Mechanisms

Soft-close hinges, undermount drawer guides, integrated LED lighting systems, and push-to-open mechanisms — all from the same European hardware specialists supplying the world's finest kitchen installations. Hardware is not an accessory. It is the experience.

What We Believe About Kitchens

The principles behind
every kitchen we build.

01
The layout comes first

Before materials, before finishes, before anything else — the work triangle, the storage logic, the landing zones, the flow. A beautiful kitchen that doesn't work is not a beautiful kitchen.

02
Every millimetre is intentional

Counter height, drawer depth, shelf spacing, toe kick dimension — none of these are defaults. All are specified to your height, your cookware, your habits, your life.

03
Light is part of the design

Integrated LED lighting under upper cabinets, inside glass-front uppers, and along toe kicks — all specified as part of the cabinetry design, not added as an afterthought.

04
The interior is as important as the exterior

Custom drawer organizers, pull-out pantry systems, spice drawers, and cutlery inserts — designed for your specific kitchen contents, not a generic template.

Custom European kitchen cabinetry from Inplace Studio typically ranges from $60,000 for a focused remodel to $250,000+ for a large-format kitchen with premium materials, integrated appliances, and full interior systems. The investment reflects authentic European fabrication, precision hardware, and white-glove installation — not a local assembly. We provide a detailed estimate after the design phase, before any commitment is required.

Plan for 18–24 weeks total from your first consultation to the final reveal. Design development takes 3–5 weeks. European fabrication takes 10–14 weeks. Installation takes 1–2 weeks depending on scope. We discuss your timeline in the initial consultation and can advise on coordination with contractors or renovation schedules.

SieMatic is a family-owned German manufacturer with over 90 years of kitchen innovation, including the invention of the modern handleless kitchen. Their products are distinguished by proprietary lighting systems, SecretService concealed drawer technology, and a level of fabrication precision that is genuinely exceptional. As an authorized dealer, we have direct access to the full range and the expertise to specify it correctly for each project.

Yes — many of our projects are referred by or in direct collaboration with architects and interior designers across Southern California. We provide full kitchen specifications, 3D renders, and material samples for design coordination, and we are experienced in working within the timelines and documentation requirements of larger renovation projects.

Yes, and we strongly encourage it. Our La Jolla and Laguna Beach showrooms feature fully installed, functioning SieMatic kitchens with real materials, working drawers, integrated lighting, and hardware you can operate. There is no substitute for experiencing the quality in person. Book an appointment and we'll guide you through every display.

We coordinate countertop specification and sourcing as part of the kitchen design — working with premium stone suppliers to find the right slab for your cabinetry selection. For appliances, we specify and coordinate the integration with your cabinetry but typically recommend appliance procurement through specialist suppliers. We manage the coordination so everything arrives and installs seamlessly.
