A well-planned kitchen reduces wasted steps and makes cooking more enjoyable. We design around how you actually use your kitchen.
The classic work triangle connects your sink, stove, and refrigerator—the three most-used areas in any kitchen. An efficient triangle should total 12-26 feet, with no single leg shorter than 4 feet or longer than 9 feet.
Modern kitchens benefit from dedicated zones for specific tasks. We organize your layout around five key zones:
Refrigerator, pantry, and food storage
Dishes, glassware, utensils near dishwasher
Cutting boards, knives, mixing bowls
Stove, oven, pots, pans, cooking utensils
Sink, dishwasher, trash, cleaning supplies

Traffic Considerations:
Changing your kitchen layout may involve structural modifications. We handle all necessary permits and coordinate with inspectors.
Opening up your kitchen may require removing walls. We identify load-bearing walls and install proper support beams when needed. What we handle: structural assessment, beam sizing & installation, building permits, and inspections.
Moving sinks, dishwashers, or appliances requires rerouting plumbing and electrical. We coordinate all trades for seamless integration. Considerations: water supply relocation, drain line modifications, electrical circuits (20-amp), and gas line work (if needed).
Kitchen layout changes typically require permits for structural, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work. We handle all paperwork. We coordinate: permit applications, plan submissions, inspector schedules, and code compliance.
Layout changes typically extend your kitchen remodel timeline due to structural work and permitting requirements:
Total project timeline: 6-12 weeks depending on scope and permit processing times. We provide a detailed schedule during the estimate phase.
Let's evaluate your space and design a layout that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable.
