Modular Kitchen in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
Height Led Modular Kitchens In Banjara Hills
One street behind the showrooms on the numbered roads the houses are older than the shops, and their kitchens were built as back of house rooms: a masonry platform along one wall, a deep window over the sink onto the compound, and a slab high enough that a catalogue tall unit stops well short of it. That is the room we are usually shown in Banjara Hills. The reflex is to strip it back to a blank box and start again. We would rather keep the platform that is still sound, leave the window where the light already comes in, and put the work into the one thing the room genuinely lacks, which is storage you can actually reach in all that height.

What The Old Room Already Gives You
The height is the asset here, so the top box line, the band above the shutters and the question of whether this room wants a false ceiling at all get settled together before a single module is sized.
The Platform Can Stay
Where the masonry top is level, dry and sound it is kept and built over, so the work goes into shutters, storage and the counter rather than into breaking out something that was doing its job.
Top Boxes For The Height
The band between a standard tall unit and a high old slab becomes a proper row of top boxes for the vessels that come out twice a year, instead of a ledge that only collects dust.
The Deep Sill Put To Work
An old window is deeper than a modern one, so its sill is finished as a surface for the drying rack and the plants, and the joinery stops short of the reveal to keep the light and the draught.
Storage Sorted By Reach
What you touch daily sits between hip and shoulder, what you use weekly goes below it, and the festival vessels go up high, so the room stops reading as one long wall of identical doors.
Set To Whoever Cooks
Counter height, handle positions and the top shutter line are set to the person who works in here rather than to a standard, and where the height beats a safe reach the joinery stops at a chosen line.
The Back Door Keeps Working
The service door onto the compound stays usable with its swing clear, because in these houses the vessel washing, the cylinder and the bin all still go out through it.
How A Banjara Hills Kitchen Is Planned
- Measured In The House
- A plastered reveal, an old skirting and a masonry base are never the thickness a plan claims, so the room is measured where it stands and the drawings are made from those figures alone.
- Height Set Before Widths
- In a room this tall the working height, the shutter line and the top box line are fixed first and cabinet widths follow underneath them, because the horizontal lines are what keep an old room in proportion.
- Old Plaster Checked
- Before anything is anchored we test the wall for damp and for hollow plaster, since a loaded wall unit is only as good as what it is screwed into and an old external wall behind a sink can be soft.
- Counter Seams Placed
- The stone is chosen against the way you cook and then set out so its joints fall where nobody leans, and the edge where it meets the old window sill is drawn rather than left to the fitter on the day.
- Matched To The House
- An older house usually has woodwork worth respecting, so the shutter tone and the handle metal are picked standing next to the doors and windows you already live with, not in isolation.
Questions From The Numbered Roads
Our house has the old back kitchen with a masonry platform. Does all of it have to come out?
Not as a rule. If the top is level and the base is dry and sound it can stay, which keeps the water and waste where they are and puts the work into storage, shutters and the counter. If the wall behind reads damp or the top is out of level we say so on the visit and show you exactly what has to be rebuilt first.
The slab is much higher than a standard tall unit. What happens to that gap?
It becomes designed storage rather than leftover wall. A row of top boxes takes the seasonal vessels and the appliance cartons, and where the height is past a safe reach we stop the joinery at a chosen line and light the wall above it, so the room keeps its proportion instead of being filled in with board.
Will new joinery look wrong beside the old teak doors in the rest of the house?
Only if it is chosen away from them. We bring samples into the house and hold them against your existing doors and windows in daylight, then match the tone and the handle metal to what is already there. A modern kitchen sitting quietly next to old woodwork is a decision made on site, not out of a catalogue.
