Your Kitchen Triangle or the Hierarchy of your Routine

[Now, I am not a Kitchen Designer, I am a Professional Architectural and Interior Designer (B. Des.), however, I work on a lot of kitchens with different needs]

Interesting terminology, Kitchen Triangle, for those of Design Kitchens or Functional Millwork Workspaces

[Spice Kitchens, Serveries, Butler's Pantries, etc.]

&

Hierarchy of Routine; from when you open your eyes in the morning to getting into bed at night, there are different tasks and routines you do each day in your Kitchen, and Understanding those is key to being able to design and create the best flow for you and your lifestyle

There are about 4 [four] Main Categories:

1. The Cleaning Area [WASH]:

   1. Sink or Prep Sink with a Pull-Down Faucet with Options

2. The Thermally Controlled Storage Area & Other Storage Areas [STORAGE]:

   1. There are so many different types on the market with a variety of different names, and you can even make Custom Thermal Rooms* if you choose [Wine Cellars, Tasting Rooms]:

      1. Fridge, Freezers

      2. Column Fridges and Freezers

      3. Top Freezer Fridges

      4. Bottom Freezer Fridge

      5. French Door Fridge, Freezers

      6. Freezer Drawers

      7. Fridge Drawers

      8. Chest Freezers

3. Prep and Workspace Area:

   1. Here are a few things to consider when dreaming up your Kitchen Design:

      1. Do you require a designated Fresh Prep and Workspace area for no contamination?

      2. Do you want to separate your Proteins Prep and Workspace Area from the Fresh Area?

      3. Do you want to separate your Protein Prep Areas by Protein? - Does it require a separate wash sink?

      4. Grains

         1. Preparing Dough and other grain products [or grainless] can require certain things to help with preparation and cooking

      5. Dairies

         1. Do you require additional storage for utensils and accessories in a Clean Prep Area and Workspace?

4. The Cooking

   1. What is your Cooking Style?

   2. What are your Cooking Routines?

   3. Do you have a set or spontaneous Cooking Schedule and Meal Plans?

   4. How Many Cooks will you have in your Kitchen? From Everyday to Holidays?

Understanding What Works Best for You

- It may be nice to keep your personal notes when working through your kitchen design with your Designer to ensure that your Kitchen is Personalized to your Preferences and Goals

Questions:

1. What are your favourite and go-to dishes to cook and prepare?

2. What is your Preferred Storage Organization Style?

   1. Visual with Labels

   5. or None

   6. What works best for you?

3. What is your dominant hand, or the Hands of the People who use the Cooking Spaces?

4. Do you care if people see your Dirty Dishes or Crumbs?

   1. Dirty Dishes

      1. If Space Allows:

         1. Two Sinks with one more concealed or out of the main sight lines
