One of the biggest mistakes during the designing process happens while looking for symmetry. The sink, preparation and cooking areas produce a narrow triangular work area, which leads to different types of kitchens. The pantry, sink, preparation and cooking areas are permanently combined and related to the process of preparing a meal in the most efficient way possible. Preparation area: ideally a large counter space to work on.Storage area: appliances, utensils, cookware.Pantry area: food storage space, canned goods, refrigerator.There are a number of studies that have defined 5 general areas in a kitchen: This way, measurements of all the components of a kitchen are set before defining the space that will house them.

Designers must understand that a kitchen has various flows and different work areas that need to be integrated throughout the entire project.īeyond the style or design requested by the client, it’s important to define a module to optimize performance and minimize the manufacturing costs of the different pieces. A kitchen can’t be just a leftover space or a space to be defined at the end of a project. This is a basic approach that any architect must take. Before starting the design process, the most important thing is to understand how the kitchen is going to be used.
