A client comes to you to ask you to design the remodel of their 60 year old home. What 1 room do you think they care the most about with the design/function? What rooms do you think most people care about the most?

KITCHEN

REMEMBER…Work Triangle Is the route from the center of the sink, to the center of the range, to the center of the refrigerator and back to the center of the sink. All this should measure 12-26 feet Smaller work triangles will save steps. For safety reasons there should be no cross traffic. Cross traffic can cause spills and other accidents. Draw this in on your floor plans from yesterday

There are 6 different Kitchen Shapes Corridor/Gallery L-Shape One Wall U-Shape Island Peninsula

Corridor/Gallery Kitchen A galley kitchen consists of work space on two opposing walls. There is a single traffic lane between them. There is an opening on one or both ends. Great for small kitchens.

L-Shape Kitchen The L-shaped kitchen layout is a standard design for home kitchens. To achieve a proper L-shaped design, the kitchen must be built at a corner where two walls form a perpendicular angle and where one wall is about twice the length of the other.

One Wall Kitchen This is the most economical. In a one wall kitchen all kitchen appliances and cupboard are located along one wall.

U-Shape Kitchen The most efficient kitchen because everything is close and is ideal for a 1 person kitchen. Problems arise when there are multiple people in the kitchen and there may not be enough room for all appliances

Island Kitchen Island kitchen designs consist of an extra “island” placed somewhere in the kitchen to add extra counter space, storage, and sometimes houses appliances.

Peninsula Kitchen A peninsula is basically a connected island, converting an L-shaped kitchen layout into a horseshoe or U-shape. In many kitchens that have this layout, the peninsula serves as a room divider that separates the kitchen from a dining or living room area, as seen in this design

Kitchen Assignment Design and Render 1 floor plan of each kitchen discussed in class (Peninsula, Island, U Shape, One Wall, L Shape, Corridor/Gallery) 6 FLOOR PLANS TOTAL There is no limit on the size just remember proper distance for circulation paths (3-4 feet) and floor plan scaling is ¼”=1 ft. A decent size kitchen is around 300 sq feet. For each kitchen floor plan, place all relevant floor plan symbols on your design and label the WORK TRIANGLE If you have time you may color your floor plans USE PENCIL FIRST AND OUTLINE IN SHARPIE AFTER YOU ARE COMPLETELY DONE. YOU CAN ERASE PENCIL BUT YOU CAN’T ERASE PERMANENT MARKER  Cut out and glue into your smash book labeling each kitchen in architectural lettering.
