Review
Reviews for Architect's Pocket Book:
'It is invaluable for the smaller architectural practice. Packed with drawings, tables and symbol guides, this is a must for use at the drawing board, computer or on-site.'
Stadia magazine
'A good easy to read guide for site use'
Alan Jarvis, Lecturer
'This little gem is essential for any architect, builder, surveyor, engineer, student, in fact anyone connected with the building industry. Information is clearly presented in a nononsense style. The well-illustrated diagrams help the building regs. appear almost logical'
5-star Amazon review
". . . written with both rookie and seasoned kitchen designers and architects in mind." - Kitchen & Bath Design News

Product Description
As with the best-selling 'Architects Pocket Book' this title includes everyday information which the architect/designer normally has to find from a wide variety of sources and which is not always easily to hand.

Focusing on kitchen design, this book is of use to the student as well as the experienced practitioner. It outlines all the information needed to design a workable kitchen, including ergonomics, services such as water and waste, appliances, and material choices for the floor, walls and ceiling. There is no similar compendium currently available.

* Gathers together essential, useful and practical information for both the student and practicing architect
* An easy to use reference for both the drawing board, and on site
* Provides comprehensive design guidance on the latest products

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 15 Dec 2005
As an architect with his own kitchen to refurbish I thought this book would be ideal, but frankly I'm disappointed with it - I've found it next to useless.

There's far too much opinion and commentary, not enough facts, figures, bullet points and diagrams. Colour photos would help too.

For instance where should I plan the gas outlet for the cooker - directly behind the cooker or in the cupboard adjacent? How high should I fix a cooker hood...and more crucially at what height would the hole in the wall be behind the hood...I need to know this when I'm drawing sections, but I had to do the research myself.

Did you know that UK cupboard sizes and doors are not universal? For instance the height between Homebase and Ikea base units vary by 30mm - how about a chart of the big suppliers basic sizes - or at least a warning about it. Had to go measure them myself.

My advice whether you're an architect or keen amateur planning a kitchen - don't bother with this book, get a good DIY manual and the catalogues of a few good suppliers instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing book from the Baden-Powell stable, 22 May 2009
By Mr. Eric L. Dyche (derby United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

As a practising building survey in a commercial practise by trade, Charlotte Baden-Powell's Architect's Pocket Book edition one and edition three are never off my desk.

Following recently winning a contact and being tasked with designing and managing the installation of a number of commercial kitchens for a client, I thought that this book would be a must have.

I was disappointed as I found this book next to useless compared to Baden-Powell's Architect's Pocket book.

My advice to anyone considering buying this book, don't. And look else where if you are requiring advice on how to design and install a kitchen.
