Kitchen Case Study

The goal of this kitchen case study project was to develop the skills of analyzing good and poor kitchen design. My teammates were Josh, Crystal, and Sam. To analyze the kitchen design, we started out cooking spaghetti. By using an actual kitchen and focusing on the layout of the kitchen, our team members started noticing the positive and negative aspects of the kitchen. For example, adequate storage under counter space was a positive aspect of the kitchen. However, as you can see from the perspective drawing on the poster, high shelves above the sink were the negative aspects of the kitchen. The title of this kitchen case study is “Interaction between space, being, and movement”. Crystal came up with this title because the interaction between space and how people freely move around the kitchen decides whether a kitchen has a good or bad design. Each one of us had different preferences and opinions but, it was amazing experience. Whenever we had discussion, we would come up with the best solution for this project. This project helped me develop teamwork skills in order to create the best work. Also, this project guided me to have a better understanding of NKBA standards and a good lay out of a kitchen.
