guide to circulation space

The modelrooms people are designed to help you get the right circulation space between objects. They each represent 600mm (2 feet)diameter

In most situations a circulation space of between 600 and 700mm is recommended per person, this represents a comfortable personal space.

Remember that this means that between two kitchen counters or a kitchen island unit and a counter to leave at least 1200mm, or enough room for two people to comfortably fit.

The figure of 600mm should be increased where you need to access something like a wardrobe door or to open drawers. Corridor space should be 900mm (min).
