G-Shape Kitchens, also known as Peninsula Kitchens, are kitchen layouts that continuously locate cabinetry and fixtures along three adjacent walls and ends in a bar counter extension. Popular for efficiently combining an additional seating area and work counter with a U-Shape layout, the G-Shape Kitchen can easily support multiple people at a given time.
A minimum central width of 5’ (1.53 m) must be provided for use, but it is recommended that this interior zone be enlarged to between 6’-8’ (1.8-2.4 m) in the short direction to provide adequate room for multiple people to move comfortably. A minimum passage aisle of 3’ (.91 m) must be maintained between the edge of the bar counter and nearby cabinetry. G-Shape Kitchens have overall widths that range from 13’-16’ (4-4.9 m) and depths from 12’-15’ (3.7-4.6 m). G-Shape Kitchens should be planned with an overall area of roughly 136 ft2 (12.6 m2).
