Modular Kitchen Design

Six Layouts,
One Perfect
Fit

Every kitchen layout has a personality. This guide breaks down the six configurations we build — their ideal dimensions for Bangalore apartments, the work zones that keep them efficient, and where each one shines.

The Five
Work Zones

Regardless of shape, a well-planned kitchen organises itself around five zones and a tight work triangle between cooking, prep and cleaning.

  • Cooking Zone

    Range / hob, cooktop, oven, chimney — heat & cooking.

  • Preparation Zone

    Chopping, mixing, food prep and open work surfaces.

  • Cleaning Zone

    Sink, dishwasher, waste management and the water area.

  • Consumables Zone

    Refrigerator, pantry, spices, oils and daily-use items.

  • Non-Consumables Zone

    Crockery, appliances, storage and less-frequent supplies.

Work Triangle — optimal movement between cooking, preparation & cleaning zones
