Single-wall
Everything on one wall — the simplest run, common in apartments and open plans. The solver closes the run with standard widths and fillers.
Checks: Run length, end fillers, sink-to-cooktop landing space
Kitchen layouts, and what to check in each
The five classic layouts double as OpenKitchen3D's solver test fixtures. Downloadable example projects will be published here as the planner ships.
Galley
Two parallel runs with a work aisle between them. Efficient to cook in, and sensitive to aisle width and opposing door swings.
Checks: Work-aisle clearance, opposing door and appliance swings
L-shaped
Two runs meeting at a corner. The corner unit — blind, diagonal or L-shaped — decides how much storage you lose.
Checks: Corner unit choice, corner fillers, countertop joint
U-shaped
Three runs and two corners. Lots of counter, but the corners and the aisle between the legs need care.
Checks: Two corner conditions, aisle width, wall-cabinet heights
L-shaped with island
An L-shaped run plus a freestanding island with seating overhang. The island-to-run aisle is the critical dimension.
Checks: Island aisle, overhang support, seating clearance
