The kitchen is the main domestic space within the home and is visited and used by most members of the family. As a space, it often incorporates a dining area and possibly a utility room as well as being the space where the family will meet and where friends will gather. The many roles that the kitchen has to fulfil requires flexibility in function and illumination, which can only be achieved through careful and precise planning. The layout and design of the kitchen will affect the way in which the space is accessed and used, and the important integration of functional requirements is necessary in order to create a pleasant space in which to work.
