An Architects Design Guide for KITCHENS

I’ve been designing private homes in the UK for almost two decades and kitchens are often the center of family life. This design guide looks at the essential things you should know when considering a new kitchen. Many of the ideas will apply anywhere but I reference building regulations in the UK, so please check with an experienced local Architect if your project is outside the UK.
