Eight compact U-shaped kitchens designed by architects
In the latest in our series exploring kitchen layouts, we've picked eight examples from Dezeen's archive with U-shaped configurations to make efficient use of space.
As the name suggests, U-shaped kitchens consist of three worktops connected to form an open rectangle.
Popular in smaller interiors, the practical layout creates plenty of counter space for food preparation with room for storage underneath and in wall-hung cabinets above.
The design also creates a compact and efficient work triangle, with everything close to hand.
The U-shape is of the most common kitchen layouts along with one-wall kitchens, island kitchens, galley kitchens and peninsula kitchens.
This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous roundups include living rooms with statement shelving, spa-like bathrooms and home-working spaces.
