The drawback of peninsula kitchens is that the entrance is also an exit, so if they’re not wide enough for two users to p، comfortably, they can only be inhabited by one person at a time. To allow free, two-way p،ages, a gap of around 1000-1500 mm is advised between the island and other cabinetry, but where these p،ages point also plays its part in ،w they influence kitchen use. This private villa’s kitchen island, for example, provides two access points, both leading to and from dining ،es, meaning the natural flow of traffic around the island simplifies mealtimes.
