Kitchens are often the heart of a home, but whether a remodel or new construction, their design can be daunting. It can be easy to become lost in the myriad aesthetic decisions, appliance options, and construction details. I use 3D modeling software to break down what makes a well-designed kitchen. The course will focus on 3 kitchen styles: a galley, L shaped, and U shaped as case studies to understand and balance the fundamentals elements of Kitchen Design: function, aesthetics, and cost. The course discusses best practices and considerations when embarking on a project of your own. 

What You'll learn:

• The all important concept of the kitchen work triangle and how to use it in a variety of designs
