Worked example
A corner cabinet is proposed for pots, but its pull-out mechanism collides with the adjacent oven handle.
Mock up both openings and test the largest pot; compare a simple fixed shelf if access is clearer.
How to test it
Mock up the opening and reach sequence with the stored items represented.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep hot preparation adjacent to the pass and route used dishes toward wash-up on a separate side.
- Detail
- Use wipeable splash surfaces and task lighting at plating and wash stations.
- Trade-off
- A more complete kitchen increases menu flexibility but reduces front seating.
- Trace a food order and a dirty dish return
- Check appliance doors clear the prep route
