Frankfurt kitchen
- AdamM12 8y agoOnly learned about this because of highly ranked r/DIY post from someone in Germany just the other day.
- eponeponepon 8y agoInteresting! What really intrigues me is how very familiar, at a very very hindbrain level, this layout is to me. If someone asked me to sketch a generic kitchen, I would certainly draw something recognisably similar. Sets me wondering how much else that fades into the scenery day-to-day in the modern world has its origin in someone's deliberate design.

- bogomipz 8y agoThis is also known as a "galley kitchen" similar to those found in the galley of ship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_(kitchen) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_(kitchen)
- oh_sigh 8y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong but a galley kitchen is just a kitchen of certain dimensions(that is, long and narrow), whereas the Frankfurt kitchen is a complete layout, involving location of drawers, appliances, etc.
- bogomipz 8y agoFrom the link: >"The term galley kitchen is also used to refer to the design of household kitchen wherein the units are fitted into a continuous array with no kitchen table, allowing maximum use of a restricted space, and work with the minimum of required movement between units. The first mass-produced galley kitchen design was known as the Frankfurt kitchen, designed by Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky." The Frankfurt Kitchen was a type of galley kitchen.
- contingencies 8y agoInteresting as we have basically spent 2.5 years building a Frankfurt kitchen without the humans...
- soperj 8y agoI've been trying without success to find a picture of the Stuttgart kitchen mentioned in the article. Anyone?
- lbody 8y agoSeems to be known as the weissenhof house built for Jacobus Oud. http://www.worldcat.org/title/weissenhof-houses-5-9-kitchen-by-erna-meyer-view/oclc/123965718/editions?referer=di&editionsView=true http://www.worldcat.org/title/weissenhof-houses-5-9-kitchen-...
- QuercusMax 8y agoPossibly this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/1b/42/571b4248477766f98f5802f397741599.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/1b/42/571b4248477766f98f58... Or one of the pictures here: http://www.worldcat.org/title/weissenhof-houses-5-9-kitchen-by-erna-meyer-view/oclc/123980853/editions?referer=di&editionsView=true http://www.worldcat.org/title/weissenhof-houses-5-9-kitchen-... Very low quality, but I suspect you won't find much better without a physical copy.
- mturmon 8y agoMy house has a vintage-1959 galley kitchen, which is Taylorist along the same lines as the OP, and I have to say: it is a really efficient work space. You don't have to waste steps walking around. I (personally) prefer the galley layout to the square layout (vintage 1920) that I previously had.
- gyyfl 8y agoI've seen these in person and the thing that always struck me is how much smaller people used to be. The heights of counters, everything.
