Atelier bauherr.
From Ordinary
to Disciplined.
MORE THAN A DESIGN STUDIO.
A specialist kitchen system design consultancy dedicated exclusively to high-investment residential kitchens.
For homeowners planning a significant investment in their kitchen who expect it to be defined thoroughly, understood completely, and executed correctly from pre-construction system design to completion.
For Considered Renovation & Custom Homes.
A high-investment kitchen deserves more than good taste.
It demands complete thinking.
System Definition
You will know what will be built and how it aligns with your investment before construction begins or anything is ordered.
Every element, infrastructure, and priorities are aligned and resolved as a coordinated system early on.
Scope Clarity.
Cost Predictability.
Coordinated Leadership
You never get left fielding questions you can't answer. Every trade, architect, contractor, cabinet supplier works from one unified plan towards one aligned outcome.
One point of coordination.
Integration replaces fragmentation.
Continuity through Construction
What was planned is what gets build.
We remain present though construction to ensure the design intend is never lost in translation between trades
Presence from start to finish.
Consistency through completion.
“Her drawings are flawless.
Every detail is accounted for, from electrical to plumbing layouts.”

A Way of Thinking
About Kitchen Design
Design as a System
Kitchen design is not a list of choices.
It is a system.
The room, your priorities, and the appliances all influence one another. Every decision creates a chain reaction somewhere else in the plan. When these relationships are understood early, planning becomes clearer and more intentional. Adjustments happen with awareness, not guesswork.
Good kitchens come from coordination,
not isolated decisions.
Certainty over Assumption
“I prefer clarity early, rather than addressing uncertainty later.” — Sabrina Antony
A plan only matters if it can be built as intended. Clarity begins early. Existing conditions are understood, systems are evaluated, and decisions are made within a coherent framework where each element relates to the next.
The aim is not complexity, but precision.
When ambiguity is removed, progress becomes deliberate and confident.
Living with Decisions
People don’t experience kitchens as plans.
They experience them every day.
Planning becomes reality in daily use.
Small decisions compound.
Clarity early creates ease later.
The goal is not perfection, but confidence.
ABOUT
THE ATELIER
Led by designer Sabrina Antony, atelier bauherr. merges over two decades of international kitchen design experience with an architectural approach to everyday living.
Rooted in work across Europe and New York City, Sabrina’s practice bridges the precision of German craftsmanship with the warmth of lived spaces.
We design kitchens as integrated systems that align space, appliance integration, structure, functionality, and daily use. We take authorship and design ownership of those decisions, guiding them from concept through realization by maintaining design intent and alignment in close collaboration with homeowners, architects, and interior designers.
Recognition
Discuss Your Project
We work with homeowners and architects on high-investment residential renovations and custom homes. Early kitchen system planning aligns spatial direction, appliance strategy, and construction sequencing before commitments are made. Involvement is most effective prior to cabinetry orders and before construction begins.
“We decided to call
one of her references before hiring her.
She said, ‘Don’t interview anyone else.
You hit the jackpot with Sabrina.’”
