I’m intrigued by Dornbracht’s Waterzone concept. The Waterzones are work spaces specifically designed with fittings and features to complement certain kitchen tasks. This concept has long been used in commercial kitchens and now the concept can be stylishly executed at home.
Here are different zone examples:
Preparation Zone
This zone unit has all you need for food preparation such as washing, cleaning, chopping and draining. The special spray has a soft jet to gently rinse produce and the double sink has one deep side to fill with water while the other is shallow so that water can flow freely over it.
Cooking Zone
This unit has a large faucet designed for pot filling with a sink sized for rinsing food and dumping cooking liquids. This concept makes great sense for pot filling since you can run the water prior to filling pots. When you have the pot filler behind the cooktop, you’re not able to run water through the pipes before you use it for cooking.
Cleaning Zone
You might not mind doing the dishes with this gorgeous sink! The cleaning zone has a large tower sprayer with an extra strong jet spray to remove baked on cooking messes. The large basin is extra deep and wide to accommodate large pots and baking trays. There is also a liquid dispenser for dish soap.
What do you think of the zone concept? I think it’s clever, and certainly the concept can be incorporated using various faucet and sink combinations. The key is to focus on function.
