The Challenge
The clients required a fully kosher-compliant kitchen with separated meat and dairy preparation zones, separate sinks, separate ovens, and separate dishwashers — a layout requirement that is significantly more complex than a standard kitchen and requires careful coordination with the client's rabbi during the design phase. The kitchen space was L-shaped with a low ceiling on the short leg.
Our Solution
We coordinated the kitchen design directly with the rabbi to ensure the zones and separation met halachic requirements before any cabinetry was ordered. The layout placed the dairy zone on the long leg and the meat zone on the short leg, with a clear visual and physical separation between them. The low-ceiling section was resolved with low-height wall units and a bespoke pelmet that concealed the lighting.
