Frankfurt Kitchen• 1926 First "Fitted Kitchen" designed

by Margarete Lihotzky known as the Frankfurt Kitchen, which was the prototype of the built-in kitchen now prevalent in the western world. Based on the scientific research by U.S. management expert Frederick Winslow Taylor and her own research, Lihotzky used a railroad dining car kitchen as her model to design a "housewife's laboratory" using a minimum of space but offering a maximum of comfort and equipment to the working mother. The Frankfurt City Council eventually installed 10,000 of her mass-produced, prefabricated kitchens in newly-built working-class apartments

•These points are the three major centers of activity.

Doorway and walkway clearances

Doorways should be at least 32” wide and not more than 24” deep in the direction of travel.

Walkways (passages between vertical objects greater than 24” deep in the direction of travel, where not more than one is a work counter or appliance) should be at least 36” wide.

Page 15: USAkitchen - Modern kitchens in life

Work aisles clearances

Work aisles (passages between vertical objects, both of which are work counters or appliances) should be at least 42” wide in one-cook kitchens, at least 48” in multiple cook kitchens.

Page 16: USAkitchen - Modern kitchens in life

The work triangle should total 26’ or less with no single leg of the triangle shorter than 4’ nor longer than 9’. The work triangle should not intersect an island or peninsula by more than 12”. The triangle is the shortest walking distance between the refrigerator, primary food preparation sink and primary cooking surface, measured from the center front of each appliance.
