Whether you’re working on a new build or renovating an existing residence, the kitchen is a room that can truly make or break a home.

When designing a residential structure, there tends to be a lot of emphasis on form, materials, general aesthetic and (more recently) sustainability goals. But any good architect or designer will also place a heavy emphasis on the lifestyle of the home’s inhabitants (or potential inhabitants), designing a structure that is not only architecturally impressive but also functional. Because at the end of the day, most homes are built to be lived in, not just looked at, and kitchens play an important role in our everyday lives.
