Kitchen with walnut units and a grey concrete-look island, a wide window over the bay and a door open to a small balcony

Kitchens in Génova

On the hillside above Palma the kitchen is the room with the view, and it faces the bay whether the hob wants to or not. A kitchen here is laid out from the terrace door and the window, and the rest follows. Describe the house and we pass the request to kitchen companies and kitchen specialists that work on the hill.

White stone island with three rattan stools facing a steel-framed glass wall, a terrace and a bay with hills beyond

Lay it out from the view

Génova houses step down the hill, and the kitchen is often on the floor that opens onto the terrace with the bay below it. The temptation is to put the sink under the window and the hob beside it; the better answer is usually an island that faces the view, with the working wall behind it, so the cook and the guests both get the bay.

The slope decides the access. Materials come down or up steps, through a garden, and a worktop slab is carried by hand. The route from the lane to the kitchen is surveyed before the stone is chosen, and it is the reason a Génova quote often names a delivery day as carefully as it names the cabinetry.

And the light, which is western and strong in the afternoon. A worktop facing the bay takes sun through glass for hours, and porcelain or sintered stone take that better than most. The lighting is planned against the glare rather than against the dark.

What a kitchen here has to work around

  • Steps and a garden between the lane and the door
  • A terrace door that is the point of the room
  • Afternoon sun through glass onto the worktop
  • A house on more than one level, with the kitchen on the terrace floor
  • Extraction that has to reach an outside wall the view is on
  • Access for a slab, surveyed before the stone is bought

Should the island face the bay?

Usually, with the working wall behind it, so that the cook faces the view and the guests at the island do too. It puts the hob on the island, which means extraction above it or downdraft in it, decided with the layout.

How do materials get to a house on the hill?

By hand, down or up the steps, and a company that works in Génova will say how long a worktop can be before it has to be cut. That survey happens before the stone is ordered.
