Kitchens for Urban Multi-Unit Living

EcoMod Multi Unit Kitchen presentation

SlideShare Preso is up

Yesterday I uploaded a short presentation I made to highlight our kitchen designs for multi-unit residences.

Kitchen designs in a dense urban setting are a tremendous opportunity to exercise efficient, clean design that integrates the cooking/eating zone with the social living zone.

Oh the Urbanity

Living in the heart of a city not only requires well designed spaces, but also doesn’t rule out newer practices in a kitchen. It’s possible to include a composting and recycling zone into even a small kitchen.  We’ve come a long way from the antiquated “work triangle”. We include these zones in all kitchens we design.

Inside /Outside

One thing not mentioned in it is how often people think the inside style of a home must match the outside. This is not a law, you will not go to jail if you have a modern kitchen in a craftsman home.  There are no fashion police out there looking to throw offenders in the pokey. But I’ll save that discussion for a future blog post.

Check out the preso here.
