Kitchen Work

The kitchen work is a concept used to determine efficient kitchen layouts that are both aesthetic and functional. The primary tasks in a home kitchen are carried out between the cook top, the sink and the refrigerator. These three points and the imaginary lines between them, make up what kitchen experts call the work triangle. The idea is that when these three elements are close (but not too close) to one other, the kitchen will be easy and efficient to use, cutting down on wasted steps. There are exceptions to this rule in single wall kitchens, it’s geometrically impossible to achieve a true triangle but efficiency can still be achieved through the configuration of the three items, and how far apart they are.
