The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) recently served as the professional resource for kitchen safety and planning in HGTV Dream Home 2012.
The 4,000-sq.-ft. modern Western ranch house has been constructed outside of Park City, Utah, and HGTV adhered to the NKBA’s kitchen planning guidelines with access standards to create the space. The guidelines cover all areas of the room, including the work triangle traffic, seating clearance, dishwasher placement, cooking surface ventilation and lighting.
Each year in the past 16 years, HGTV has selected a new location as the site for the HGTV Dream Home house. Each home is featured on HGTV.com through periodic blog updates, timelapse photos and video chronicling the exterior progress of the project.
