Can the kitchen stay within its existing footprint?
Sometimes. An existing footprint can work when the measured layout supports the required clearances, storage, appliances, services, and circulation.
What needs attention where the kitchen meets adjoining rooms?
Floor transitions, ceilings, openings, lighting, circulation, and nearby finishes should be reviewed with the kitchen, even when adjoining rooms are not being rebuilt.
