Kitchen Zones

A modern approach to kitchen design that organizes the space into five functional activity areas: prep zone (cutting and mixing), cooking zone (range and oven), cleaning zone (sink and dishwasher), storage zone (pantry, refrigerator), and serving zone (counter space near the dining area). Kitchen zone planning evolved from the classic work triangle concept and better accommodates today's larger kitchens where multiple people cook simultaneously.
