Made-to-Order PlatformA complete cabinet platform
A complete cabinet platform
for modern kitchens.
The Core System is ORLO.Haus’s made-to-order cabinet platform. It is designed for projects where standard cabinet sizing, limited interiors, or basic hardware options are not enough.
Instead of starting with a generic cabinet box, the Core System starts with a more complete kitchen framework: cabinet construction, front collection, finish library, interior finish, hardware level, panels, details, and project support.
It gives the kitchen more flexibility while keeping the design controlled and intentional.
Core System is the premium ORLO.Haus path for complete modern kitchens.
Core vs Sektion®
When the project needs more than IKEA® can provide.
The Sektion® System is a strong path when IKEA® cabinet boxes fit the project well. But some kitchens need more flexibility, more refined interiors, more hardware options, better appliance integration, or more project-specific detailing. That is where the Core System becomes the better choice.
Core gives ORLO.Haus more control over the cabinet structure, dimensions, interiors, hardware, and details — while still keeping the project inside a defined brand system.

Core System is best for projects
that need more control.
Core System is not for every project. It is for clients and professionals who want a more complete, flexible, and premium kitchen platform.
High-End Residential Projects
When the kitchen needs to match the architecture, materials, and overall quality of the home.
New Construction
When cabinetry needs to coordinate with architects, builders, appliance planning, and construction timelines.
Designer-Led Projects
When an interior designer or architect needs a clear system, finish library, specifications, and reliable execution.
Non-Standard Layouts
When standard cabinet sizes create awkward fillers, poor proportions, or inefficient use of space.
Integrated Appliance Kitchens
When refrigerator panels, dishwasher panels, tall units, and appliance details need careful coordination.
Premium Interior Projects
When the inside of the cabinet matters as much as the outside.
Cabinet PlatformBuilt around modern cabinet standards
Built around modern cabinet standards
and project-specific details.
The Core System is designed to give the project a more flexible and refined cabinet foundation while still keeping the design controlled and repeatable. Instead of saying yes to unlimited custom requests, Core uses a defined set of construction standards, design rules, material options, and hardware packages.

Design & Production ProcessA guided process from
A guided process from
design direction to finished kitchen.
Core System projects involve more decisions than a simple front replacement. That is why the process is structured and guided. We help organize the project from design direction to specifications, quote, drawings, production, delivery, and installation support.
- 01
Consultation
We discuss your project, layout, goals, budget, timeline, style direction, and whether Core System is the right fit.
- 02
Design Direction
We define the system, front collection, finish direction, interior options, and project priorities.
- 03
Plan Review / Measurements
We review architectural plans, field measurements, appliance specifications, and site conditions.
- 04
Scope and Estimate
We prepare an estimate based on cabinet scope, front collection, finish, hardware level, and installation or delivery requirements.
- 05
Design Approval
We confirm the system direction, material choices, cabinet scope, and major design details.
- 06
Shop Drawings & Details
We create the required production drawings and specifications for cabinet boxes, fronts, panels, fillers, appliance panels, and special details.
- 07
Production
The cabinet system, fronts, panels, and related parts move into production after approval.
- 08
Delivery / Installation Coordination
Depending on location and scope, we coordinate delivery, shipment, or installation support.
- 09
Final Review
After installation, final adjustments or punch-list items are handled according to project scope.
Pricing Guidance
Core System is quoted by project scope.
Core System projects are quoted based on the complete project scope: cabinet layout, finish, hardware level, interior options, panel requirements, appliance integration, installation conditions, and design complexity.
Because Core System is made-to-order, it is typically a higher investment than the Sektion® System. It is best suited for clients who value design control, premium interiors, better flexibility, and a more complete kitchen experience.
Core System is not the cheapest way to buy cabinets. It is the better path when the kitchen needs to feel more resolved, more architectural, and more integrated into the home.
