The layout

Why a compact layout works

A short run fits where a built-in never could, costs less because it uses fewer modules, and still covers the essentials - grill, counter, and sealed storage. Start small and extend the run later if you want.

Planning

Small layout dimensions

A workable compact kitchen fits in about 4-7 ft: a grill module plus a prep or storage cabinet. Keep 3 ft of standing room in front, and consider a single drawer stack to maximize storage in a tight footprint.
