Spatial Dimensions

Room Scale Criteria

• Minimum Room Width: 10ft x 10ft (3,000mm x 3,000mm).
• Center Floor Span: Minimum 5ft (1,500mm) free central floor area.
• Back Wall: Ideal location for cooking hob and chimney centered with decorative tile backsplash.
• Left & Right Arms: Dedicated to sink prep and pantry refrigeration respectively.

Dual-Corner Integration

Twin Corner Optimizations

Since the U-shape contains two internal 90-degree corners, intelligent hardware selection is essential:

• Corner A (Dry Side): LeMans swing-out carousel for mixer grinders & baking appliances.
• Corner B (Wet Side): Reversible magic corner or angled open wire rack.
• Continuous Countertop: Seamless 45-degree miter quartz jointing.

Advantages

✓Unrivalled storage capacity with upper and lower cabinets on three walls.
✓Perfect isolated work triangle with zero cross-traffic disruptions.
✓Can convert one arm into a peninsula breakfast bar.

Limitations

✕Requires larger room dimensions; claustrophobic in compact kitchens.
✕Higher overall budget due to twin corner hardware and countertop length.
