Dry and Wet Kitchen (fengshui?)

For all kitchen designs, to create a flow of workspace between the two functions: cooking and prep work is important. This is where the concept of the dry and wet kitchen comes into play. Often, the wet kitchen is where cooking and cleaning is done. The dry kitchen serves as the preparation zone or display area.  Now in modern times, more often that you think, it becomes a showpiece of the home and/or breakfast chill area for family members and guests.
The two functional areas are separated physically which allows the two areas to operate independently and also maintain overall spatial integrity. This creates a sense of space and abundance.

The location of the three key equipment items - stove, fridge and sink is designed such to avoid conflict with one another. In the case of the wet kitchen, the stove and sink are placed in a way so they are not in a direct line with one another. Similarly, the fridge is located inside its own compartment to avoid a direct line with the stove.

ultimately, the importance lies with the user and the space that creates the fond memories for the family.
