The Terraces, Bukit Jambul – Custom Kitchen Cabinet, Wardrobe & Built-In Storage in Penang

Kabinet Sifu was engaged for interior design consultation and custom cabinetry works at The Terraces, Bukit Jambul, Bayan Lepas, Penang.

The project focused on creating a warm, practical and well-organised home through customised built-in solutions. The scope included a custom kitchen cabinet with breakfast table and integrated fridge cabinet, master bedroom wardrobe, and a custom display storage cabinet for the living area.

Rather than treating each cabinet as an individual piece of furniture, the cabinetry was planned as part of the overall interior so that the materials, proportions, storage and lighting work together consistently throughout the home.

Project Scope

The completed works included:

• Interior Design Consultation
• Custom Kitchen Cabinet
• Built-In Fridge Cabinet
• Breakfast Table / Counter
• Custom Wardrobe
• Living Room Display & Storage Cabinet
• Internal COB LED Cabinet Lighting
• BLUM Soft-Closing Hardware

Project Challenges

1. Maximising Storage Without Making the Space Feel Heavy

One of the main considerations was creating sufficient built-in storage while maintaining comfortable circulation and a clean visual appearance.

In a condominium environment, cabinetry needs to make efficient use of available wall space without making the interior feel overly enclosed.

2. Combining Kitchen Storage With a Breakfast Area

The kitchen needed to accommodate everyday storage, appliances and the refrigerator while also providing a practical breakfast table.

The challenge was to integrate these functions into one cohesive kitchen layout instead of adding separate furniture that could take up additional floor space.

3. Creating a Functional Wardrobe With a Lighter Visual Feel

The wardrobe required practical hanging and storage capacity, but a full solid-panel wardrobe could make the area appear heavier.

The design therefore needed to balance storage functionality with visual openness.

4. Combining Display and Hidden Storage in the Living Room

The living-room cabinetry needed to perform two different functions: displaying decorative items while also providing enclosed storage for items that should remain out of sight.

Lighting and material selection were also important to give the display section a more refined appearance.

Our Solution

Custom Kitchen Cabinet With Breakfast Table

The kitchen was designed as an integrated cabinetry system incorporating the main kitchen storage, fridge cabinet and breakfast counter.

The kitchen cabinet carcass uses Super E0 melamine panels, while the cabinet doors and visible panels are finished with Topmix HPL laminates.

A sintered stone countertop provides the main work surface and continues the clean, contemporary material palette.

The breakfast table extends the functionality of the kitchen by providing an additional surface for casual dining, food preparation or everyday use without requiring a separate dining fixture within the kitchen area.

The fridge is framed within a custom-built cabinet configuration so that it forms part of the overall kitchen composition rather than appearing as a standalone appliance.

For daily usability, the kitchen cabinetry is fitted with:

• BLUM soft-closing drawer systems
• BLUM soft-closing door hinges
• Internal COB LED cabinet lighting

The overall result is a kitchen that combines storage, preparation space and casual dining within one coordinated design.

Custom Wardrobe

The custom wardrobe was designed around practical clothing storage while giving the area a more contemporary and visually spacious appearance.

The wardrobe carcass uses Super E0 melamine panels, combined with mirror and GM Glass doors and panels.

The mirrored section helps introduce reflection into the space, while the glass elements add visual depth and allow selected internal areas of the wardrobe to become part of the overall design.

Internal COB LED lighting improves visibility inside the wardrobe while creating a warmer ambience when illuminated.

The internal configuration provides dedicated areas for:

• Hanging clothes
• Folded clothing
• Drawers
• Accessories
• Upper storage
• Everyday personal items

Because the wardrobe is customised, its internal organisation can be planned around the homeowner's actual storage needs rather than relying on a standard off-the-shelf configuration.

Living Room Custom Display & Storage Cabinet

For the living area, Kabinet Sifu created a built-in cabinet that combines open display, glass-fronted display and enclosed storage.

The cabinet carcass uses Super E0 melamine panels, while the doors and visible panels combine GM Glass and HPL laminate finishes.

Integrated COB LED lighting highlights the display compartments and decorative items, giving the cabinet additional depth in the evening.

The lower enclosed sections provide practical storage, allowing everyday items to be kept away from view while the upper sections remain dedicated to display.

This combination helps keep the living area organised without sacrificing the decorative character of the space.

Materials & Specifications

Design Outcome

The completed cabinetry at The Terraces, Bukit Jambul, Bayan Lepas demonstrates how customised cabinetry can help make a condominium more organised and functional without overcrowding the interior.

The kitchen combines cooking, appliance storage and a breakfast counter within one integrated layout. The wardrobe provides organised clothing storage while using mirror and glass to create a lighter visual effect. In the living room, the display cabinet balances decorative presentation with concealed storage.

Throughout the project, the same warm material direction and integrated lighting help connect the different cabinetry areas into one cohesive home interior.

For homeowners planning a kitchen cabinet, custom wardrobe or built-in cabinet in Bayan Lepas, Bukit Jambul or other areas of Penang, the most suitable solution should always consider the available space, daily lifestyle, storage requirements and intended use of each area.
