any homes today have the kitchen as their heart. This means it’s a hub for preparing and cooking food, cleaning and entertaining. These activities are a breeze when you can put your hands on everything you need within a few short steps. An intelligently planned kitchen will mean you can make logical decisions about where things are placed on the floor plan, making it effortless to move throughout your space. Whatever your kitchen shape, Hettich demonstrates common layouts that make the best use of the area by minimising steps between your working zones and keeping distances short. The concept involves dividing your kitchen into five functional zones, based on the key activities and areas we need our kitchen for: cutlery and crockery, cleaning agents and waste, food preparation, pots and pans, and food storage.
