Upgrade to our signature designs that make flood-resilient cabinetry look attractive in a residential or retail setting
Laurent Le Pochat is a French-born cabinetry maker of the highest order. It’s not surprising given he studied at the prestigious Les Compagnons du Devoir, a sacred and prestigious trade university for artisans dating back to the Middle Ages in France (there’s no Australian equivalent)! Armed with a Masters degree in furniture making and finesse in both traditional and modern techniques, Laurent is known for creating beautifully crafted cabinetry pieces.
With Laurent as your formally trained master craftsman, you will be offered:
For clients who have already engaged a professional interior designer who has provided full architectural plans, including product specifications.
Not available with flood-resilient designs.
For clients who have already researched their favourite style and know their basic room measurements.
They now need practical design and layout assistance.
Package fees are redeemable upon confirmation of manufacturing the same project.
For clients with more than one idea to discuss or who don’t know where to start.
They need help with all realms of cabinetry: measurements, styling, design, materials selection, and layout.
This is a minimum 8-hour service.
You have already got professionally completed architectural plans
Nothing. This is a free service.
You have got a DIY vision for your space that you need help with
$795 package
Package fees are redeemable upon confirmation of manufacturing the same project.
You need a cabinetry service that takes the stress out of the whole process
We travel to meet you onsite to gain a better understanding of your project
This is your first opportunity to:
• Explore material combinations in a hands-on way
• Discuss your overall budget, priorities and goals
• Optimise project layout, design and styling so it works for your lifestyle
Before leaving, we:
• Measure each room
• Provide you with a time estimate for the outstanding work required and a proposal
This is a minimum 8-hour service charged at $149 per hour ($1192+ spend).
Once the criteria for the Essentials package have been exhausted, any more time will be charged hourly.
We have formulated this package based on seven years of tested research. We have analysed our clients’ journey from research and development through to quote acceptance for one bespoke designed quality kitchen for the average family home.
We discovered that 90% of clients who have already researched their design and lifestyle needs for their cabinetry would run with their first strong idea because it is the most considered concept.
The purpose of the package is a concise way for our seasoned professionals to take a pragmatic approach to refine your considerations.
If you find this package does not suit your needs, then we recommend selecting the Comprehensive option, where you can allow time to explore more options.
Laurent also plays the classical acoustic guitar ;)
Legacy of the Antipodes holds the intellectual property rights to our unique style of flood-resilient cabinets that have been engineered, designed and tested to meet our renowned high standards.
While we can accept input from other design professionals, we expect to spend time researching and verifying the design to ensure it meets our standards.
Suppose you have already engaged with a reputable, experienced professional interior designer or architect. In that case, it is normal for us to receive a set of finalised floor and elevation plans that include measurements and a specified list of materials (product schedule). Each designer’s methodology and scope of works can be different.
If plans are missing details, we may be able to make a provisional price range which will have to be refined further during subsequent consultation time. During peak times, we request you return to your original designer for a complete design; otherwise, your will experience a delay in our process.
PRO TIP: The more detail your designer specifies, the less likely you will find unrealised costs across the entire construction project, not just cabinetry.
Yes, we love working on large projects like commercial shop fitting.
It is essential to ensure that all commercial projects are highly durable as they command higher usage than domestic ones. In addition, food premises need to ensure fit-outs are food-safe compliant.
Both front and back-of-house projects involve more research and are on a larger scale than domestic projects; therefore, we recommend working on the Comprehensive service.
We offer in-house Interior Design services with our Director, Lisa. She can assist with a full-service interior design to round out the room or an entire home.
Laurent will only coordinate the benchtop supply and installation and any in-house metalwork. Lisa sources and manages all other trades under our Interior Design portfolio of services.
