WORK FLOW

Your movement in the Kitchen should be like a well-composed dance – purposeful, efficient, and without distraction

STORAGE

Well beyond a few cupboards or the Fridge, storage includes your pantry goods, small appliances, fresh/frozens & more

PREP SPACE

Did you know that about 80% of your time in the Kitchen is in ‘mis-en-place’? Properly placed counters are crucial for Prep

LIGHTING & POWER

Lighting is critical to a safe and positive working environment. It needs to be as well-situated and thoughtful as the power & outlets.

RADIAL NOT TRIANGLE

Forget almost everything you knew about the ‘Kitchen Triangle’. For movement, work with a radial energy from the main Prep/Work space.

FINISHING TOUCHES

The right finishing touches bring your perfect dream Kitchen to completion, from Pulls to Paints – with safety and maintenance in mind.
