The ancient Chinese kitchen was a hub of activity, where food was prepared and cooked for the family. The design of the Chinese kitchen was based on the principles of feng shui and harmony. It typically featured a central hearth for cooking, a wok for stir-frying, and storage areas for ingredients and utensils. The coastal cottage design would incorporate elements of Chinese architecture, such as wooden beams, bamboo flooring, and traditional Chinese artwork on the walls.
