Remodelling tips - the work triangle
It isn’t long before anyone involved in planning a kitchen comes across this phrase. The "Work Triangle" refers to the relative positions of the sink, cooker and refrigerator. Much of your kitchen life is spent to-ing and fro-ing between these three things. Too little space between them, and you will feel restricted. Too much space, and you will get fed up with tramping from one to the other. For a rough guide, the three sides of the triangle should add up to between 3.5 and 8 metres.
The key units in your Work Triangle may be arranged in an actual triangle; or two units may be on one wall with one facing them; or, as in a galley kitchen, they may all be positioned in reasonable proximity on the same wall. If you can, avoid positioning your Work Triangle where you will constantly be bothered by other people walking through it: to reach the refrigerator, say, or to get at the table or back door. It makes sense to make the refrigerator the most accessible part of the triangle for non-cooks, and the oven/hob the least accessible, for reasons of safety.
