This 17 1/2- by 18-foot kitchen-workroom is designed to reduce the energy cost of kitchen-workroom activities. The storage designs, workspace, and arrangement of equipment are planned especially for the many homemakers who must conserve energy. The broken-U arrangement of the meal-preparation area is convenient and efficient; it permits easy to the dining room, utility and outside. The U breaks between island and range unit. Supplies used every day are stored in easy-to-reach places. Folding door on dish cabinet and nylon glides on pull-out shelves and drawers are energy-saving features.
