Founders' shared flat in Mönchengladbach - No. 2
09 June 2026
Compact run in Mönchengladbach: white, dark worktop, tap on the wall.
White fronts, plus a slim dark worktop. The splashback remains the existing white tile — the kitchen sits into what is already there.
Straight, short run at the window: sink on the left, cooking and oven in the middle. On the right the wall stays free for the existing boiler.
Hob in the worktop, oven beneath, head-free hood in black. Stainless-steel sink, chrome tap on the wall rather than on the worktop.
Result
A short run for a shared-flat kitchen: little floor area, clear contrasts, the apartment's technical fittings remain visible.

Project overview
This kitchen stands in Mönchengladbach, in a compact room with a window on the left. It is a straight, short run: sink at the window, cooking in the middle, oven beneath.
The fronts are white. The worktop is slim and anthracite. The splashback remains white tile with dark grout — existing, not a new panel. The floor follows the same tile pattern.
The tap sits on the wall, not on the worktop: chrome, with two cross handles. To the right of the run, a wall-hung boiler remains visible.
Planning concept
A short run is the right layout when only one wall is free and the boiler needs space on the right. Sink, hob and oven sit on one axis. The hood hangs head-free above the hob, with no wall units to the left or right.
The wall-mounted tap saves surface on the narrow worktop. The bowl remains a single stainless-steel square.
Materials
White matt fronts, without applied bar handles. The oven has a black horizontal bar handle.
The worktop is dark and thin. The splashback is white wall tile with dark grout, matching the floor.
Appliances & products
The hob is black, with four zones, set into the worktop. A brand is not clearly readable on the photos.
The oven sits under the hob, with a black glass front. A brand is not clearly readable.
The extractor hood is head-free, black, angled on the wall. A brand is not clearly readable.
The sink is stainless steel. The tap is chrome and sits in the tiled wall above the bowl.
FAQ
Who is this project for?
For a compact apartment or shared flat where only a short wall is free and existing tiles plus a boiler remain.
Which kitchen layout was chosen, and why?
A straight, short run. A larger layout would interfere with the room and the boiler. Sink, cooking and oven sit one after another.
What are the key material and appliance decisions?
White fronts, dark worktop, the existing tile as splashback. Wall-mounted tap in chrome, head-free hood, oven under the hob.
