Technical progress, thanks to which the contemporary kitchen achieved the current shape, initiated changes going towards adapting the kitchen equipment to widely understood needs of the user. The whole of current studies concerning the ergonomics of the kitchen area in apartment is insufficient, it doesn’t fulfill contemporary designing requirements. Verifying and updating previous research, supplementing them and presenting in the form of designing criteria is essential. Taking into consideration all needs of contemporary family, diverse by age, fitness and agility, it is necessary to provide optimal and widely understood quality of kitchen area.
