The way we move around our kitchen and our kitchen around us.

Inspired by the way we optimize kitchen infrastructure, Unit was born — a design created in a short three-week assignment. This simplified kitchen cabinet emphasizes the seamless flow of kitchen activities: water comes in, trash goes out, and tableware moves in a continuous cycle of use, washing, drying, and storage.

Unit features a cabinet with a wide sink as the countertop. By placing corresponding items inside the sink, the space transforms into a multifunctional surface—serving as a cutting board, drying rack, or waste bin. The design encourages efficient use of the infrastructure, such as sliding cutting waste directly into the bin or combining dishwashing with the drying rack to immediately drain excess water. Once dry, the rack can be placed back on its shelf, doubling as storage without the need for extra steps.

This thoughtful integration of functions simplifies daily kitchen tasks, enhancing both convenience and efficiency in one sleek design.
