HIMACS Solid Surface – The Best Suited Material for the Mini Kitchen
The Mini Kitchen was designed and developed by David W. Beer who has been designing an extensive range of homes for more than 30 years. His interior design vision with YesterTec was to take a further leap from Johnny Grey’s revolutionary ‘unfitted kitchens’.
David’s extensive kitchen interior design experience over many years showed that many homes had wasted space – more commonly referred to as living and dining room, between the kitchen and the rest of the house, a space that he sought to rediscover and re-energize with the micro kitchen.
Rather than have redundant space he wanted to make the kitchen more comfortable by blending it with the living area. He also saw the unique opportunity for spatial liberation by reducing the visual definition of the kitchen. In his point of view, HIMACS solid surface that can be fabricated in various sizes, was the best suited material for the Mini Kitchen.
The traditional approach of kitchen interior designs with continuous line of countertop and cabinetry comes with limitations that are easily overlooked at the design stage. Once the installation is completed and people start to dwell in, it becomes clear that the traditional kitchen design are is not an ideal solution for small houses.
The conventional kitchens are best suitable for spacious houses, as it tends to box up everything in horizontal layout, taking up a large percentage of floor space. However, in terms of small houses, having large kitchens may be inefficient since it leaves less room for family and guests.
In fact, the number of small households with 1-2 persons per household has been steadily increasing and reached 64% of all households. Single households have also increased continuously and surpassed the share of households with 3-4 persons since 2018. Thus, this generation has a big potential to become a group with high demand for small houses such as NYC studio apartments.
“Our mini-kitchens were initially designed for NYC studio apartments whereby a small kitchen occupied a multi-functional room, but a messy exposed kitchen was not desirable. Our kitchens have the ability to safely hide the ‘hot’ appliances behind pocket doors by utilizing U.L. Listed technology that allows the appliances to operate only when they are not hidden.”

Another example, downstairs the adults are having a dinner party and upstairs the children (and the babysitter) are hungry. No longer do the kids need to disturb the adults to make a pizza! Pizza? That’s right, the oven is a 120V GE Advantium oven that can cook (bake, warm) just about anything, and it’s not just a microwave. Its speed cook feature works four times faster than a microwave.
