As promised here are interior pictures from the Portland Street of Dreams, today focusing on kitchens. One of the things I observed was that most of the homes being built now have a kitchen prep area that is open to the main kitchen. This is different from the large pantry with a door on it like we have seen in the past, instead the space is open so you don’t feel like you are in a closet, it is just an additional space to the kitchen.

The most successful prep rooms were designed by a professional so that the flow of food and appliances were all integrated into the main kitchen. Can you see the prep room through the arch way above?

Many of the kitchens had beautiful symmetry with a breakfast nook on one side of the kitchen and a prep area on the other side all accessible to the main kitchen.
