Sixty per cent of our time in the kitchen is spent at or around the sink, says architect Laura Jane Clark. It's why it should always be front and centre of designs
Lifestyles have changed over the past few years and the kitchen is now the place where people spend most of their time in the home.
This provides designers with a great opportunity to use a kitchen renovation to enhance their clients’ lives by incorporating innovative ideas that make the space more productive and enjoyable.
No matter what the size or scale of a home, when I'm designing I always start with the triangle of preparation and, in particular, the sink. As the focal point of the kitchen, it is fundamental.
German manufacturer Blanco has made a name for itself as the industry leader in bringing a fresh, design led approach to kitchen design.
Commonly used kitchen elements such as sinks, taps and waste bins are often overlooked in the planning phase, but Blanco has combined them all into an all-in-one customisable system called the Blanco Unit.
Its multi-functional parts make kitchen life easier for clients so that when they are washing up, disposing of vegetable off-cuts, creating cool drinks with fresh filtered water or making tea with boiling water straight from the tap, everything is at arm’s reach.
Plus, that no-go area under the sink becomes fully utilised with storage and waste systems that work efficiently for different setups. Endlessly versatile, the Blanco Unit can be configured with multiple combinations of products and accessories to suit a client's style and lifestyle.
Specify a Blanco Unit for brilliant, holistic kitchen designs that maximise space and have the water place at their heart.
