North London Kitchens design and build

A kitchen will need to be designed to meet the requirements of the family and it is important the layout this works as it is not easy or cheap to change the layout once it is completed.

Planning a Kitchen Layout

Before we start imagining the finished product we first need to measure the room, draw up an overall layout, the position the existing services (plumbing, electricity, gas point) and also the windows and doors. Remember that services can be moved if necessary.

There are three main zones within a kitchen - food preparation, cooking, and cleaning up. These correlate to the main work sufaces (and fridge/freezer), the cooker and the sink. These zones should make a triangle called the Work Triangle. Even though the sides of this triangle do not need to be of equal length they should not normally be longer than 6.5m (6500mm) and there should be no obstacles along the length of the sides of the triangle.

We endeavour to keep the design simple and make sure it works for you. You will probably be spending a lot of time in this room so make it work.

Making Your Kitchen Plan

Once we have drawn up the plan of the kitchen with all the relevant points marked (e.g. doors, windows, services etc) we will run through the options with you.
