This book offers designers the same basic information that they would gain in the NKBA's expensive certificate program. This book, based on the NKBA's six book volume, is a definitive sourcebook and technical guide on kitchen planning and design. It includes information on estimating, space planning, design principles, drawing and presentation standards, mechanical systems, materials, fixtures, safety, and accessibility. Together with its sister publication on bathroom design, it is an essential addition to a designer's professional library.
