9k is for what material?

So far I see if you wnat to have frameless doors without handle, u either use the blum tip-off (to press n open doors) or if u use the acrylic material door (which is tapered at the edge so you finger can hold n pull the door open)....

Yeah specification is important.... soft close hinges? fully extendable drawers?

These cabinets done by unity do not have clean lines, and the build-in alum handles make them look like kitchen cabinets....

To have clean lines, you need to use a material such as acrylic that can be done with a tapered edge for the fingers to hold the door and open. Another option is using the Blum Tip-on, very expensive for so many doors. Ikea also sells a similar tip-on but look very flimsy and some showroom units koyak already.

A new type of build-in handle which I saw at a homedec stall by D'Format uses a U channel piece of aluminium. The door fitted with this, will not show a visiible aluminium handle. This cld be the cheapest soulution. So far, I have only seen this at D'Format, and Aldo's. Hopefully other cabinet makers will also catch on with this....

This design achieves the clean lines, but not so practical... one gotta bend to open.. tough on the back!! But of course, if u choose the teeny weeny door knob (sold in Ikea RM9 for 2 pc), it is not so visible and can be nice too..

The IKEA Besta range of cabinets may work for you... although I am not sure if they are lasting. On the other hand, the build-ins that I have used over the years, I find them to be better for wear. Based on your requirement, even the Besta cabinets wld cost 5k or thereabout... U can use the Ikea Planner at the homepage to work out the cost and layout.

I am following your thread to see how your project turns out, pls post your finished project for sharing.
