Project Spotlight: The Construction of a Luxury Kitchen Extension in Hillegersberg

A spacious, light-filled family kitchen that would serve as the beating heart of the home — that was the wish of our client in Hillegersberg. This Rotterdam district is known for its large, characterful houses, but not every property automatically meets today’s demand for open living spaces. In this project, Global Bouw demonstrates how a luxury custom-made kitchen extension not only adds valuable square meters, but can also meaningfully improve the daily life of the residents.

From Wish to Design: a Bespoke Dream Kitchen

Our client envisioned a luxury custom kitchen with high-end appliances, a generous cooking island, and plenty of natural light. However, the existing kitchen was too small and closed-off to bring that vision to life. That’s why we opted for a carefully planned extension, fully aligned with the home’s architecture and style.

During the design phase, we worked closely with the homeowners: walkways, sight lines toward the garden, and the positioning of the kitchen island were determined with precision. The result is a living space where the new kitchen blends seamlessly into the rest of the house while adding a modern, open atmosphere.

Kitchen Extension Costs: How the Project Was Structured

Building an extension is much more than simply “moving the wall back a bit.” The kitchen extension costs were structured into several clearly defined components:

• Foundation and structural work – including permit procedures and structural calculations

• Insulation and windows – high insulation values and large glass surfaces meeting modern standards

• Interior finishing – underfloor heating, custom cabinets, cooking island, and integrated lighting

• Technical installations – new pipework, electrics, ventilation, and connection to existing systems

Thanks to complete transparency in planning and cost structure, the client knew exactly what to expect from day one. This open communication reflects the way Global Bouw aims to build trust in every project.

Creating a Living Kitchen: From Construction Site to Living Space

The renovation took place in a series of clear, predictable steps, enabling the homeowner to understand each phase in advance:

1. Demolition and preparation of the rear facade

2. Installation of the foundation and structural frame

3. Placement of large glass sliding doors for maximum daylight

4. Installation of kitchen appliances and custom-made cabinetry

5. Finishing and styling, including lighting, flooring, and final details

The result? A spacious living kitchen with room to cook, dine, and spend time together. The large glass facade offers an unobstructed view of the garden, while the kitchen island literally forms the center of the space. Functional and elegant — exactly as the client envisioned.
