Architectural Kitchens
next125 specialists working alongside architects to specify kitchens that belong within the architecture of the home.
The best kitchens don’t begin with cabinetry. They begin with architecture.
After more than 25 years designing luxury kitchens, one thing has become clear to us — the most successful projects happen when architects, interior designers and kitchen designers work together from the earliest stages. The conversations are rarely about colours or door finishes. They’re about proportion, flow, materiality, light and longevity.
That’s why, for architect-led projects across the UK, we continue to specify next125 — a precision-engineered German kitchen brand built around architectural principles. It’s a kitchen that feels like it was always meant to be there.
Built on architectural principles
Unlike many kitchen brands that chase trends, next125 was built around architectural principles inspired by the Bauhaus movement. Everything is intentionally reduced to its essentials, creating a level of visual order and precision that architects instinctively appreciate.
Architecture, Not Furniture
next125 was built around architectural principles inspired by the Bauhaus movement. Every line has a purpose and every proportion is considered — the kitchen becomes part of the architecture, not an object placed within it.
The 125mm Grid
The name itself comes from its 125mm grid system, creating a level of visual order and precision that architects instinctively appreciate. Components fit perfectly with every other, enabling infinite configuration without compromise.
Designed to Age Well
next125 deliberately avoids short-term fashion in favour of timeless proportions, premium materials and understated detailing. Projects retain their value visually long after passing trends have disappeared.
Engineering You Feel
Luxury is the engineering behind the scenes — the precision of the cabinetry, the consistency of the manufacturing, the way doors align and the tactile feel of every mechanism, engineered to perform for years to come.
Minimalism
Minimalism isn’t about having less. It’s about removing everything that doesn’t deserve to be there. The best architecture does exactly the same.
Why architects specify next125
next125 shares the same design values we do — and the values that matter to architects.
01
Timeless Over Fashionable
A kitchen should outlive trends, just as the architecture around it should.
02
Precision Over Excess
Every detail is intentional. Nothing is there that doesn’t deserve to be.
03
Architecture Over Decoration
Clean lines let the architecture speak rather than compete for attention.
04
Function Without Compromise
When the kitchen is considered as part of the building, the outcome is entirely different.
Consider the kitchen as part of the building
When the kitchen is considered as part of the building rather than simply fitted into a room, the outcome is entirely different. The kitchen becomes an integral part of the architecture rather than an interruption to it.
- Storage works harder.
- Sightlines improve.
- Materials flow naturally through the home.
- Lighting feels intentional.
