Dear Dreamer Where were you when I was planning and constructing my villa a few years ago! I really admire your talent and knowledge. This is really the proper and perfect standards of a modern kitchen. However, I doubt many of us, in the Arab world go by such standards Again, thanks and please keep the excellent job. |
Cleanup/Prep Sink Placement

Recommended minimum size for a knee space is 36” wide x 27” high x 8” deep, increasing to 17” deep in the toe space, which extends 9” from the floor. Insulation for exposed pipes should be provided http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org [The sink should be no more than 34” high or adjustable between 29” and 36”. [*]The sink bowl should be no more than 6 1/2” deep[*]).[*]Exposed water supply and drainpipes under sinks should be insulated or otherwise configured to protect against contact. There should be no sharp or abrasive surfaces under sinks] |
Cleanup/Prep Sink Landing Area
Include at least a 24” wide landing area* to one side of the sink and at least an 18” wide landing area on the other side http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org If all of the countertop at the sink is not the same height, then plan a 24” landing area on one side of the sink and 3” of countertop frontage on the other side, both at the same height as the sink http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org The 24” of recommended landing area can be met by 3” of countertop frontage from the edge of the sink to the inside corner of the countertop if more than 21” of countertop frontage is available on the return. *Landing area is measured as countertop frontage adjacent to a sink and/or an appliance. The countertop must be at least 16” deep and must be 28” to 45” above the finished floor to qualify |
Preparation/Work Area
Include a section of continuous countertop at least 36” wide x 24” deep immediately next to a sink for a primary preparation/work area http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org A section of continuous countertop at least 30” wide with a permanent or adaptable knee space should be included somewhere in the kitchen In a kitchen, there should be at least one 30” wide section of counter, 34” high maximum or adjustable from 29” to 36”. Cabinetry can be added under the work surface, provided it can be removed or altered without removal or replacement of the work surface, and provided the finished floor extends under the cabinet http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org |
Dishwasher Placement
Locate nearest edge of the primary dishwasher within 36” of the nearest edge of a cleanup/prep sink http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org Provide at least 21”* of standing space between the edge of the dishwasher and countertop frontage, appliances and/or cabinets, which are placed at a right angle to the dishwasher http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org *In a diagonal installation, the 21” is measured from the center of the sink to the edge of the dishwasher door in an open position http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org Access Standard Raise dishwasher 6” – 12” when it can be planned with appropriate landing areas at the same height as the sink. A clear floor space of at least 30” x 48” should be positioned adjacent to the dishwasher door. The dishwasher door in the open position should not obstruct the clear floor space for the dishwasher or the sink http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org |
Waste Receptacles

Cook Surface Landing Area Include a minimum of 12” of landing area on one side of a cooking surface and 15” on the other side If the cooking surface is at a different countertop height than the rest of the kitchen then the 12” and 15” landing areas must be at the same height as the cooking surface. http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org For safety reasons, in an island or peninsula situation, the countertop should also extend a minimum of 9” behind the cooking surface if the counter height is the same as the surface-cooking appliance For an enclosed configuration, a reduction of clearances shall be in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions or per local codes. (This may not provide adequate landing area.) Access Standard Lower the cooktop to 34” maximum height and create a knee space beneath the appliance forward-approach clear floor space is provided at the cooktop, it should provide knee and toe clearance and the underside of the cooktop should be insulated or otherwise configured to prevent burns, abrasions, or electric shock The location of cooktop controls should not require reaching across burners http://www.almuhands.org/forum/imgca....almuhands.org |
