      Really depends where the fridge is… Triangle is optimal, but if the fridge and sink both require walking around that counter it’s gonna get annoying fast.

      Also lets them have a little breakfast area as well.

      Seems like the most efficient use of space to me.

        It looks like a good use of space if you have never really used a kitchen before. Very difficult to use in any real world cooking scenario.

        There should be laws stopping people who don’t use kitchens from designing them. I see so many terrible choices like this.

          Oh fucking please.

          The sink situation is easily solved with either filling up that kettle, or using a stock pot. The fridge being out of frame means you’re not having to go around the partial island.

          This is a nice utilization of an awkward space. The stove placement means you don’t have to teach young and/or stupid housemates ‘hot behind’ because there’s space for both mis en place and to set a hot dish, in a way that doesn’t mean someone has to scooch behind you and bumping butts.

          This is far from the worst design this room layout could have and is actually pretty damn smart given the layout.

    I dig the oven placement. If I need to chop something, the counter is right there and I can have a beer closeby. Less space for people to crowd around you getting to other areas of the kitchen.

      Agreed. Husband and I are constantly bumping ass because the space around our stove is just a hair too small. There’s plenty of space to prep and drop cooked dishes.

      I would enjoy a cubicle cooktop, i think

    I might have rotated the oven 90 degrees counterclockwise and gotten rid of the island (peninsula , I guess) but I like having what would essentially be two prep stations working across from one another with one person right at the range top. This kitchen isn’t actually that big from a square footage perspective but it looks like 4 or 5 people could comfortably work there without touching elbows.

    Placement of the oven does not concern me, what does and always do, is that pathetic exhaust fan above it, which may or may not be connected to the outside by a duct, but in either situation, it’s a low quality system that does not even remove 50% of the cooking aroma, it’s like no one has ever figured out how to make one for home use that is effective and not sound like a jet engine. I’ve seen $2 million dollar condos that have that problem.

      I’ve lived in a couple of apartments in Norway where they had a genius solution to the problems you mention (except the jet engine sound): it sends all odours to your NEIGHBOURS who have their kitchen right above or below yours 😎

      (warning:it works both ways. So if your neighbours are cooking you better turn it on, and you better set it to superjet mode, because the strongest decides where the odours go.)
