What Is a Parallel Kitchen?
Parallel Modular Kitchen: Smart Galley Design for Narrow Spaces
A parallel modular kitchen has two counters facing each other with a walkway in between, making the most of long, narrow kitchen rooms and keeping everything within a few steps.
It is a popular choice in Ahmedabad apartments with narrow kitchens, because one side can be used for cooking and the other for washing and prep, giving a quick, efficient workflow.
