The three points of the kitchen are the above mentioned, sink, stove, and fridge. There are different ways to incorporate this geometrical shape into your kitchen, as there are different triangles in Euclidean geometry. Here are some points to remember when constructing your kitchen:
Do not allow for the triangle’s perimeter to be greater than 26 feet or less than 12 feet.
The triangle should not be disrupted by large cabinetry or furniture (this includes islands).
You don’t want to sacrifice counter space when constructing your triangle, nor do you want to have a narrow corridor whereby kitchen pedestrians can easily be caught and run over in the flow of traffic.
One of the more popular triangles is the oblique “L” shape, which uses Wolf gas ranges as one leg, while the sink and Sub Zero appliances are on the same side. Lengthening the L allows for more counter space and a larger corridor.
