Kitchen Re-Model/Renovation Layout Ideas Suggestions wanted
In the process of remodel renovation of first floor of two story home, typical rectangular box with attached 2 car garage. Large covered front porch, square three season covered screened rear porch off of Family room/ Kitchen shared rectangular room. Basic box over box layout is the best way to describe the rooms and construction. Everything is a square or rectangle in shape.
Kitchen Layout is the portion of the project that is in need of constructive input.
Key points to consider.
Family of Five, adult sized people.
One person is severely allergic to virtually all food groups. This necessitates a hope to have a discrete storage and prep and cleanup area for their nutritional needs; refrigeration, room temp storage, separate wash sink and medical feeding equipment storage. Would prefer to secure this area as a discrete area in the kitchen, i.e. same area as the family gathers, just a special corner to stock and prepare this persons nutritional fulfillment needs. Inclusion of this person in family time is paramount to family unit.
Two other people are young adults and their Electronic Device Needs. Other than that, they eat almost anything offered and hang out with family and friends here as well. They are encouraged to prepare foods when ever it suits them, cleanup still eludes them.
Parental Needs, Organization and reduction of clutter, maintaining a large variety of fresh food products, desire and need to prepare most all meals daily. Need to store canned goods/boxed food products, more cooking and serving utensils than is probably normal, move counter appliances out of sight while remaining easily accessible for retrieval and use. This is the mission control area of the household. 85% of the occupancy time of the house is in the Kitchen and adjoining Family Living Room.
In progress is demolition of flooring, the entire first floor, in preparation for installation of a uniform random width; 3, 4 and 5 inch planks, dull finish, lightly distressed wood flooring. Flooring is Beech wood. Color is a primarily light tan, think natural unfinished wood type coloring. Medium to Heavy saw marks will be applied.
Finished basement underneath. Access to all utilities will be accommodated for all changes/additions/relocations.
Power vents will be required through sidewalls as no access through second floor to attic is available.
Exterior Walls are SIP's Construction. Interior walls are 2 x 4 stick.
Three entrances into the kitchen exist. Shared common area with family living room. Hallway from Garage, laundry, bathroom,
office/bedroom areas. Direct doorway access to the formal dining room.
Kitchen is North and West Exposure at the rear or Sink/Window Wall.
Kitchen is 14 feet across and 19 feet deep. Across would be the area from family /Living area to the hallway leading to garage, laundry, bathroom and office/bedroom, ie East to West, with East being the Family/Living Room and West being the Office/Bedroom sides of the House. Depth would be from the front of the House, Southern facing, to the rear of the House where the Kitchen -Family/Living room terminate facing North.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI'm not sure what your goal is for the butler's pantry--a true butler's pantry is usually located between the kitchen and DR for convenient serving. If that's a food pantry, then it's in a good location--I included a door from the kitchen, with fridge next to it. So, here's a start on the layout, with the discrete storage and prep in the bottom right corner.
The island is 5' deep and 7.5' wide. The NKBA recommended minimum for one island seat is 24", so one seat on the short side can use up to 36" of elbow space.
Other notes: I extended the cabinets on the sink wall into the FR, to give you a 21" drawer base on each side of the cooktop cabinet.The sink in the special prep section can also serve the coffee/drinks center. A small trash receptacle could be kept under the sink in the special prep area, or the coffee center, to serve both areas. (If you need a separate DW for clean-up for the special diet, an 18" DW could be subbed in for the drawer base.) The cabinets under the seating overhang are 18" deep.
1 square=6".
