Wet or dry, island or galley. We design it around your family, show it to you in 3D, then build and install it ourselves in Kota Kinabalu.
01What you get
What does a Cabchen kitchen include? The whole job. We visit and measure, draw a 2D layout and show you 3D visuals. Then we make your cabinets, worktops and backsplash to size, plan Fotile hoods, hobs and built-in appliances in from the start, and install everything ourselves around Kota Kinabalu. After handover, we stay close.
02Two kitchens, one plan
You want a kitchen that looks lovely when friends visit. You also want somewhere the wok and the sambal can do their thing. That’s why so many Sabah homes have both. We plan the split around how your family really cooks.
Breakfast, light prep, baking and having people over. It usually opens onto the living and dining area, so it’s designed to be looked at.
Wok frying, steaming and everyday family meals. Planned for heat, oil and moisture, and usually kept separate from the living space.

03Layouts
Your floor plan decides, not a catalogue. Here are the four layouts we plan most often, and the homes they tend to suit.
Two runs of cabinets meet in a corner and the rest of the room stays open. Sink, hob and fridge sit an easy step or two apart.
Often suits: Most condo and terrace kitchens, and open-plan dry kitchens.
Cabinets wrap three walls, so you get the most worktop and storage from the floor you have. We plan both corners carefully, so nothing gets lost at the back.
Often suits: Wet kitchens and families who cook every day.
Two parallel runs, or one straight wall, with a clear walkway in between. Compact and quick to cook in, with everything within easy reach.
Often suits: Narrow rooms, compact condo units and service kitchens.
A freestanding counter for prep, seating and extra storage. It soon becomes the spot where everyone gathers. It does need clear space on every side.
Often suits: Larger dry kitchens and homes that love having people over.
Go on, spin the island around. On your project, it’s your own kitchen you’ll see in 3D, before a single board is cut.
04Materials and finishes
A photo can’t tell you how a door feels under your hand. So we go through surfaces, door finishes and handles with you, suggest what suits each corner of a humid Sabah home, and invite you to see the samples at Iramanis or Penampang.
Clean-lined worktops, waterfall islands and full-height backsplashes.
Warm, dark wood tones for tall units and drawers. Cosy, never cold.
Matte, deep grey doors for a calm, modern kitchen.
A soft grey-beige that sits happily with wood and stone.
Light, natural wood tones for a brighter, simpler look.
Swatches are colour guides only. Exact materials, colours and availability are confirmed with your quotation.
05Appliances
Ever seen a new hood that doesn’t quite line up with its cabinet? We avoid that by choosing appliances together with the layout. Cabchen is an authorised fotile brand store, so cut-outs, ducting and power points are planned right the first time.
