Anatomy of a Kitchen 101
(Because Python won’t program your mug storage for you)
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Pillars in the middle of the space
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Wrap island around pillar and adjust cabinet depths
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Beams running through the ceiling
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Tuck lighting neatly behind to conceal and wrap carpentry
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Client wants to store Passover items nearby but there’s no space
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Blow out a boydem/attic overhead to create ladder-accessible storage
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Pillars need to be indestructible
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Cover in stain-resistant porcelain tiles that mimic Jerusalem stone
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Many appliances to store, some that get used often
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Appliance garage with built-in outlets
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Client wants a second fridge, but building a new kitchen around two separate fridges is inelegant
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Get one large 120cm double fridge instead
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Client visits appliance store and thinks the freezer section is too narrow
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Rework plans to accommodate a 140cm fridge with a better freezer
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Client has tons of stuff
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Build extra cabinetry under the bar
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Client also wants vertical pan storage, pull-out garbage, built-in drying racks, towel holders, display shelving, corner storage, a netilat yadayim, cold water, a large island, onion and potato drawers, two ovens, two dishwashers, three separate utensil areas, and custom storage for oversized and unusually shaped items
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Plan it baby.
Every client is different. Every space is different. And for every client and space there are unique solutions.
