Spatial habits in residential kitchens and the searches for flexibility in kitchen design
Eren Can
While rising urban populations, as a result of industrialization, narrowed the buildable areas in cities, at the same time the World Wars I and II increased the demand for housing. In addition, the change of social dynamics and production models and the development of technology have also been influential in the search for flexibility. Flexibility, which can be considered in many ways, is examined in this article with the space organization, equipment/outfit and time in kitchen design. At this point, the research aims to measure user-specific expectations about flexibility in kitchens design. A survey was proposed in the study, considering that the determination of spatial habits in the kitchen is determinative in terms of which parameters should be taken into account in flexibility. The aforementioned survey was applied to people between the ages of 25 and 40 who live in apartments in Istanbul and work overtime. The survey has revealed that spatial habits in the kitchen vary with t...

Sarjoo Patel
Kitchen is the most important place of a house where homemakers spend most of their time working in. Often the things that dissatisfy one about a kitchen are the things that could have been avoided by developing a plan to meet the needs of the family. A well designed kitchen can reduce the physiological strains faced by the homemakers during working in the kitchen. Modern kitchens are the best example for reducing the physiological strains as it makes the tasks easier and faster. Modern kitchen designs have revolutionized the kitchen décor all over the world. Depending upon the problems faced by the homemaker while working within the kitchen, certain renovations are needed. With the help of this data, guidelines can be formed for designing the modern kitchen. The modern kitchen designs and guidelines are proposed after knowing the problems faced by the homemakers while working in their modern kitchens. The findings of the study, the guidelines and the designed proposed for the modern kitchen would lead to the increment in the knowledge of the learners, interior designers and homemakers.

V.Vijaya Lakshmi
Kitchen is the heart of a house. Since major part of time is spent in kitchen compared to other areas in the house, it needs to be designed with utmost care. Attention needs to be paid to the type of kitchen, work areas in kitchen i.e., preparation area, sink and cooking area. Storage facilities, openings and ventilation must be adequate so that home maker can do cooking with less strain. With this background, the present study has been conducted through case study method to evaluate the kitchen design in rural areas. The study was conducted in Dabliguda, Maheswaram Mandal in Telangana state. Observations were made in 10 kitchens to understand the existing kitchen conditions. It was found that all the kitchens were placed in the right direction i.e., east. Kitchen sizes also met with the standard specifications as minimum size was 90 sq. ft. and maximum size being more than 150 sq. ft. against 45 sq. ft. as the standard size. But the drawbacks observed in the rural kitchens were lac...

Determining spatial characteristics for circular building design: The case of kitchen alterations
Paula Femenías
Kitchens are frequently altered leading to unnecessary material flows. End-users’ wishes to customise their kitchen based on their changing priorities have been recognised as one cause for frequent alterations. Complementing previous research investigating kitchen alterations, this paper focuses on the spatial characteristics of the room. Spatial characteristics have been identified as determining factors for developing circular solutions for kitchen design which could reduce the extent and impact of alterations. Eleven households in Swedish villas, apartments, and terrace houses have been interviewed about their kitchen alterations to answer the research questions: What spatial alterations do they implement? and How could the spatial design of kitchens be formulated to support a circular built environment?. The outcome of the alterations has been documented through floorplan drawings and photographs. Based on the findings exemplifying end-users’ alterations, circular design strateg...

Ergonomic Kitchen Design in Malaysian Low-Cost Housing
Wahyuni Zahrah
The kitchen is where family members gather and household chores are primarily done. The purpose of the study is to highlight the issue of the comfort of Malaysian low-cost housing kitchens. It is the space commonly disregarded and has been a cause for many other issues relating to health, safety, and cleanliness. To propose a better design strategy, a basic understanding of the underlying principles and design development is pertinent to extracting the key elements that make up a good kitchen. It will serve as a basis for a revised guideline for plan layout, particularly in Malaysian low-cost housings. Keywords: Ergonomics; Kitchen Design; Low-cost; Minimal Space eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022.
