Planning Guidelines For Understanding Your Kitchen Layout
Kitchen Planning Summary of Kitchen Guidelines
Planning the Kitchen's Triangle
The kitchen triangle may be defined as the work triangle of the kitchen which is an imaginary straight line drawn from the center of the sink, to the center of the cook top, to the center of the refrigerator, and finally back to the sink.
The triangle formed by these imaginary lines should total 26 feet or less, with no single leg of the triangle shorter than 4 feet or longer than 9 feet.
If the kitchen has only one sink, it should be placed between or across from the cooking surface, or refrigerator. Such standards are meant to ensure that the cook won’t waste steps, or be interrupted by traffic.
Two countertop heights should be offered, one 28 inches to 36 inches above the finished floor and the other 36 inches to 45 inches above the finished floor. The different countertops make the kitchen more convenient for cooks of different heights, for seated cooks, and for bakers who can more comfortably roll dough at the lower height.
Verify no entry, appliance, or cabinet doors block each other when open. In a kitchen with an island, prevent an appliance or cabinet door on the island from hitting an appliance or cabinet door across the isle.
To improve the function of the kitchen, include organizing items, such as roll-out shelves, lowered wall cabinets, raised base cabinets, appliance garages, storage bins, dividers, and pantries.
Windows and skylights should equal at least 10 percent of the total square footage of the separate kitchen or of the full living space that includes the kitchen.
