Spatial requirements Distances between the cleaning area, storage areas and garbage container should generally be short in order to minimize transport distances. Work space for various persons In L- or U-shaped layouts working areas must be located 600-800 mm from the corner. This ensures that 2 users can work comfortably without getting in each other’s way. The sink should be positioned min. 200 mm from a corner. This ensures that there is enough room for a sitting or standing user to be able to work comfortably. Minimum space for utensils Regardless of the kitchen is singled-sided, L-or U-shaped, there must be space on both sides of the sink: min. 600 mm on one side and min. 400 mm on the other side for kitchen utensils. A corner space may be useful to ensure a minimum of 400 mm. Ideal distances when preparing food for several persons The ideal length (A+B) of the workstation depends on how many people the kitchen serves: up to 2 persons: 1200 mm up to 4 persons: 1400 mm up to 6 persons: 1600 mm
