Good Family Circulation • Bathrooms should be close to bedrooms. • Indoor living next to outdoor living area’s. • Other related rooms close to each other. • High use routes should be short and simple.
Work Triangle • The route from the center of the sink, to the center of the stove to the center of the refrigerator and back to the sink. • Smaller work triangles will save steps. • For safety reasons there should be no cross traffic. Cross traffic can cause spills and other accidents.
Other Aspects of Good Work Circulation Ask yourself these Questions: Can the cook prepare a meal without worrying about constantly walking into someone going by? If people can eat in their rooms or living areas, can they get there without leaving a Hansel and Gretel trail through the entire house? If you spend a lot of time grilling outside on the patio, is it convenient to the inside food prep area? Do you have to walk through to the other end of the house to reach the outdoor grill? Can you bring the groceries right in from the outside without having to go through the living room? • Easy access to the basement, garage and storage areas. • Clothes care center in a convenient location.
Service Entrance • Service entrances should be located near the kitchen and basement stairs.
Guest Circulation • Entry, living, dining, powder room or ½ bath not in private area’s of the home, porches, patios, entertainment rooms. • Ask Yourself: • How do guests travel to the living room when you are entertaining? • Do they have to go through private areas of your home? • How do they get to the powder room? • Is the kitchen handy for serving food and drinks to your guests when you are entertaining? http://www.home-decorating-room-by-room.com/trafficpatterns.html
