Appliances, work and clean up areas are arranged along one wall. There is no balanced triangle for convenience and efficiency.

This type of kitchen makes a very efficient work triangle but through traffic can be a major problem.

This is an efficient design when counters connecting the basic appliance centers are continuous. The traffic bypasses the work triangle making a good layout.

This design takes advantage of the main floor space. The triangle is reduced in size and the second aisle allows traffic to bypass the work area.

Peninsulas are L-shape kitchens with a peninsula that serves as a counter space for food preparation or as a breakfast bar.

This makes a well balanced triangle that is undisturbed by foot traffic. Making a very well balanced kitchen.
