01 / The brief

What this study explores.

The imagined brief replaces fragmented storage with a legible preparation sequence. The sink, preparation area and cooking position remain distinct, while a small eating place avoids occupying the main route.

Constraints, stated early

  • Existing service positions are assumptions for discussion, not a surveyed layout.
  • Doors and appliance openings need a measured clearance check before specification.
  • The 18 m² area is a conceptual fixture, not an as-built measurement.
02 / Drawing study

A different arrangement.
The same imagined footprint.

Before / proposed are authored conceptual diagrams. They are not surveyed plans, construction instructions or evidence of a completed renovation.

Conceptual before plan: separate activity zones. Full description follows.
Conceptual proposed plan: reorganised activity zones. Full description follows.

Use arrow keys, Home or End. Dragging is optional.

Conceptual before arrangement
Before: separate uses and fragmented storage.
Conceptual proposed arrangement
Proposed: a clearer route, grouped storage and distinct task areas. Wall structure remains unverified.
03 / Materials & decisions

From the room
to the junction.

01Tall storage gathers at one end. The longer working surface is kept visually quiet and easy to read.

02A durable splashback meets a softer timber surface. Their junction is drawn before individual products are chosen.

03A separate eating edge gives a visitor somewhere to sit without entering the preparation zone.
