Kitchen Space Planning
Consultant: Michael Chen, Organization Specialist
The kitchen is the most complex, high-traffic, and expensive room in a home to renovate. A poor layout doesn't just look bad; it causes daily frustration and can create safety hazards.
In our Kitchen Space Optimization Planning service, we analyze your current space or architectural blueprints and design three distinct layout configurations, following NKBA guidelines for work triangles, door clearances, island aisles, and prep countertops.
NKBA Guidelines We Implement
Triangle Leg & Walkway Clearances
We ensure that no single leg of the work triangle is shorter than 4 feet or longer than 9 feet, with work aisles sized for safe cooking and appliance access.
Countertop Prep & Landing Zones
We design vital landing spaces near appliances, including refrigerator, oven, and sink prep zones.
Storage & Cabinetry Schedules
We organize storage into zones to minimize cooking steps and place utensils, spices, pots, and bins where they are used.
