- KIT-NN-005 — Provide a properly sized range hood or extraction system, plus task lighting at all worktops.
- KIT-NN-006 — Provide water supply and wastewater drainage for the water dispenser.
Strongly Preferred
- KIT-SP-002 — Position the sink near the refrigerator and preparation zone and provide a dry pantry.
Decisions Outstanding

Detailed requirements and coordination
Provisional Ideas

Questions for the Interior Designer
- What meals and cooking styles create the highest heat, smoke or grease load?
- List all countertop, built-in and occasionally used appliances.
