U-Shape Kitchens are continuous kitchen layouts that locate cabinetry and fixtures along three adjacent walls in a U-Shape arrangement. Flexible for multiple variations of lengths and depths, U-Shape Kitchen designs often incorporate central island counters for increased work space and table surfaces.
A minimum central width of 5’ (1.53 m) must be provided for use, but it is recommended that this zone be enlarged to between 6’-8’ (1.8-2.4 m) to provide sufficient access and movement space for multiple people. U-Shape Kitchens have widths that range from 9’-12’ (2.7-3.7 m) and depths that vary as desired. U-Shape Kitchens should be planned with an overall area of roughly 107 ft2 (10 m2).
