Guideline 32 - Tall Cabinet Location

Guideline 32

No two primary work centers (the primary sink, refrigerator, preparation or cooktop/range center) should be separated by a full-height, full-depth tall tower, such as an oven cabinet, pantry cabinet or refrigerator.

Guideline 32 Clarification

A corner-recessed tall tower between primary work centers is acceptable if knee space is planned to one side of the tower.
