Kitchen Design: Corridor Kitchen Layout Basics

This design for corridor-style kitchens is desirable because one of the key services--the stove--is set out by itself. There is lots of countertop room on either side for chopping, cutting, stirring, and everything else you need to do in support of cooking. Also, we preserve the desired kitchen triangle workflow path.

If that right side is a peninsula or kitchen island, the cook is able to face the open side while cooking and socialize with other people.

This design is dependent on a supply of gas or electricity to the peninsula or island. Usually, gas and electricity are found only against walls.

If you have the luxury of space, you may find that this corridor-style kitchen design offers the greatest range of benefits.
