Variant 1: with maximum appliance set

In one-room apartments of the 1-515 series, the wall between the living room and kitchen is non-load-bearing. Therefore, the entrance to the room can be relocated and the space functionally used.

The result is a P-shaped kitchen layout with maximum appliance set: a 4-burner cooktop, refrigerator, built-in microwave in the upper cabinet, and also a convection oven and dishwasher. A small dining area was also provided: the windowsill was replaced with a countertop, and half-bar chairs were placed. To avoid moving the radiator, special holes can be made in the countertop for hot air to exit during the heating season.

Variant 2: with a large dining area for 5–6 people

To fit a large dining area in five square meters, it was necessary to give up the kitchen section and make it minimal. All necessary items were placed in a linear cabinet: refrigerator, oven, built-in microwave, and 2-burner cooktop. The reduced version of the cooktop allows more space on the work surface.

In the dining area, a folding table was placed: it doesn't take up much space and does not interfere with cooking. When unfolded, it can accommodate a group of 5–6 people.

Variant 3: with an angular cabinet and dining area

As in the first variant, such a layout will only work if the entrance to the kitchen is made from the room. An angular cabinet and a small round table for 2–3 people are suitable for a small family. The round shape of the table is ideal for small spaces.

Full-size appliances were placed on the kitchen: a full-range cooktop, oven, refrigerator, built-in microwave, and dishwasher.
