A functional Kitchen: A place for everything
Flow within a kitchen is paramount. We created distinct areas within the kitchen to cater for the various tasks that need to be done.
As you entered the back door with groceries, there was floor to ceiling storage on both sides of a galley. You could unload and store goods quickly and efficiently. A small section of bench to the side of the fridge allowed stacking of the fridge to be done without bending down. We even had special bins on runners for the dog food!
There was a dedicated bench for cooking with utensils, pots n’ pans, oils and spices all at arm’s length.
There was a dedicated space for small regularly appliances; an area with everything at hand for a fast and easy breakfast, a snack or quick coffee.
The front island had space to one side for cleaning and stacking crockery above an integrated 900mm dish-drawer. On the other side was enough space to prepare and serve. The bench was deep enough that you could perform the tasks required whilst friends and guests sat at the bar and became part of the experience.
