Different Shapes of Modular Kitchen and House Construction

A kitchen is an integral unit in a house that serves to provide the meals we need for our sustenance. Each culture has its own type of kitchen built to cater to its cooking needs. For instance, north Indians cook dishes made of wheat flour more. They need kitchen space to accommodate this kind of activity.

Kitchen south Indian style

In the south, the type of kitchens remains inclined to provide facility to cook rice-based dishes. Even the houses get built around open courtyards so there is even, and easy movement for everyone all the time. Here we are going to see how we add functionality and use space in the kitchen by using modular units of different shapes. First is the U shaped kitchen.

In this kitchen unit, cooking utensils and ingredients remain placed in a U shaped kitchen countertop. You can find all the ingredients you need at two ends of the U. You also find the utensils with the cutting and cleaning equipment here. As you move inward, you find a sink on one side with the oven and cooler units on the other. The advantage of U shaped Modular Kitchen Designs is that you find lots of space in the kitchen.

Use of open space

This type of kitchen design suits those houses that have an excess of space. It helps make cooking a breeze and allows you to cook for more people without any trouble. By using the U shape, you open out interior space so people can move inside the kitchen without any hindrances. Usually styled in contemporary fashion, these kitchens will have clean lines and many windows. They make use of natural material like wood and stone for making facing and claddings.

The honesty of material is inherent in these buildings and the structural system remain visible. Ceilings and roof beams remain exposed. Windows extend up to the roof. Front of houses may remain asymmetrical with recessed entrances. Organic styles of houses and kitchens also fall under this category. But, this is suited for those that have rejected straight lines and right angles for curved, natural lines.

Kitchens with smaller space

The other broad type of kitchen is the L shaped kitchen. This uses much lesser space and is more common in the lower end and mid-range houses. The functional utility of these kitchens is in its segregation of space. You have a sink at one end usually at the smaller end of the L and the kitchen countertop is along the longer leg. This helps to streamline all functions and keep order inside the kitchen. An improvement over this is the L Shaped Modular Kitchen.

In the modular kitchen, there is an emphasis on the use of modular units both in construction and storage. By making use of modular kitchen cabinets and tables, we save much space. There is no wastage of space as each modular unit remains designed to fit the space in the kitchen exactly. The use of modular units in construction helps save time because each building block gets measured and built to save effort and material. Most of the modern builders use modular units for their construction.
