Storage


The total shelf/drawer frontage* is

1400” for a small kitchen (less than 150 square feet

1700” for a medium kitchen (151 to 350 square feet

2000” for a large kitchen (greater than 350 square feet



The recommended distribution for the shelf/drawer frontage in inches is:

The totals for wall, base, drawer and pantry shelf/ drawer frontage can be adjusted upward or downward as long as the recommended total stays the same.
Do not apply more than the recommended amount of storage in the miscellaneous category to meet the total frontage recommendation.
Storage areas that are more than 84” above the floor must be counted in the miscellaneous category.
*Shelf and drawer frontage is determined by multiplying the cabinet size by the number and depth of the shelves or drawers in the cabinet, using the following formula:
Cabinet width in inches x number of shelf/drawers x cabinet depth in feet (or fraction thereof) = Shelf/Drawer Frontage
Storage/organizing items can enhance the functional capacity of wall, base, drawer and pantry storage and should be selected to meet user needs.

At least one wall-switch controlled light must be provided. Switch must be placed at the entrance


Window/skylight area, equal to at least 8% of the total square footage of the kitchen, or a total living space which includes a kitchen, is required


Lighting should be from multiple sources and adjustable

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.
