The galley kitchen

Also known as: corridor kitchen, parallel kitchen

The galley kitchen is ideally suited to rooms where there are opposed doors or windows.

The galley kitchen is suitable for rooms with a minimum depth of 2400mm. (600mm counter + 1200mm clearance + 600mm counter = 2400mm). The 1200mm clearance is to stop hitting the opposing cabinetry when bending over.

The galley kitchen is an efficient kitchen for one cook but watch out for through traffic!
