Whether it's by sharing a meal at a restaurant or preparing a home-cooked meal together, food does in fact, bring people together. With that in mind, architects placed kitchens at the heart of homes, giving residents a space to cook, dine, and spend quality time with their families and friends. However, not all homes can fit spacious kitchens, some are too small and others don't have the proper spatial configuration for it. In this interior focus, we will explore how architects and designers opted for different kitchen layouts based on different spatial and user needs.
Before initiating any design ideation process, it is important to understand how and by who will the kitchen be used. Ideally, the space should ensure that the user is comfortable working and moving around the space, so its best to keep in mind different scenarios: what does the user do first? Where do they lay their groceries? How often do they access the fridge? What kind of cuisine do they cook and what kind of space would they need? How many people use the kitchen? Etc.
