The purpose of the study is to highlight the issue of the comfort of Malaysian low-cost housing kitchens. It is the space commonly disregarded and has been a cause for many other issues relating to health, safety, and cleanliness. To propose a better design strategy, a basic understanding of the underlying principles and design development is pertinent to extracting the key elements that make up a good kitchen. It will serve as a basis for a revised guideline for plan layout, particularly in Malaysian low-cost housings.</p> <p>Keywords: Ergonomics; Kitchen Design; Low-cost; Minimal Space</p> <p><em>eISSN: 2398-4287 </em><em>© 2022.
