Design evolution: Key considerations for creating a multifunctional kitchen space

Back rooms of the house a century ago, kitchens are now the centre of attention in the modern home. Open-concept living spaces have transformed the area into a multipurpose room as much as a place for cooking as it is for dining, entertaining, relaxing and, more recently, even as a space for a makeshift work desk or study area. Given today’s fast-paced lifestyles, kitchen layouts and appliances must be adaptable and support a range of activities while still delivering on its core functions: the storing, cooking and serving of food.
