General Kitchen Space Planning
Guidelines
Kitchens should face North East or
North West. Kitchens should be well located internally with respect to the
pantry, dining room and living. Although kitchens are small places there
planning requires the utmost attention to details. The kitchen is also places
of meeting and has social significance. They occupy a large number of users
time and peak attention periods. In residences, Kitchens should be placed strategically
for easy accessibility to all major work areas and rooms.
Work Sequence
“A place for everything, everything in
place 3“ should be the motto for a dream kitchen. In order to cut down the
walking distance between work centres, utensils should be stored where they
need to be first. A well-planned kitchen should not only look good but make the
cook using it feel content with his place for work. Work centres and storage
facilities to be laid out in order before freezing on the kitchen plan
When kitchen units are fitted they
should follow a sequence that complements the work and reduces efforts. The
structure should be spacious and allow room for free movement. The furniture
should minimize standing work and any such posture which will be strenuous for
the household person.
The ideal sequence of work in the kitchen should be arranged in this
order for a normal right-handed person.
Storage - Cooking area - Preparation
area – Draining area
For a left-handed person sequence of operations is the
opposite.
