Kitchens
Designing the kitchen as a whole — layout, fronts, worktops, appliances and mechanisms, decided together.
The kitchen as one system
When the cabinetry, appliances, sink, tap and service points are decided separately, dimensions and fittings may not match — a fridge door that cannot open fully, a socket behind a cabinet, a tap that does not suit the sink.
Designing them together resolves these questions at the drawing stage, before anything is ordered or built.
- Layout and ergonomics
- Fronts, carcasses and worktops
- Mechanisms and internal fittings
- Appliance selection and coordination
- Sink and tap selection
- Coordination with electrical and plumbing points
Ergonomics are measured, not assumed
Worktop height, the distances between sink, hob and fridge, the direction a drawer opens — these are measurable decisions, taken at layout stage while they can still be changed without reworking anything already built.
