Some hospitals have huge kitchens to make industrial lots of biological experiments to serve in the dreaded hospital cafeteria. Other hospitals have gourmet kitchens staffed by dieticians and chefs, catering to the dietary needs and whims of the elite. This kitchen isn't one of those kitchens.
From the appearance, this kitchen might well have been a broom closet and utility room. The tiny space almost brings to mind the galley in an RV. Booth-style seating for four leaves just enough room for one person to be able to cook, almost while seated at the booth; anything within the efficiency kitchen can be reached by taking a single step. For its small size, however, it has just enough room to host the usual kitchen appliances: a tiny two burner stove, an apartment sized refrigerator, and a cute little dishwasher.
Somewhat out of place, a commercial espresso machine commands most of the available counter, with just enough space left over to build a sandwich if everything is laid out just right. An overhead cupboard contains place settings for six and two dozen coffee cups. The compact cabinet underneath contains standard cooking pots and serving utensils: the heavy stainless saucepans and covered skillet take up most of the under-counter storage space.
The tiny built-in pantry has been filled full of different coffees, teas, dehydrated fruits, and dried herbs. If hot drinks were a recognized food group, there would appear to be at least a year's supply.
Light filters in from a single large window, through which can be seen a fire escape. Planter boxes line the iron rails, softening the otherwise stark lines and providing at least a glimpse of something alive and growing amidst the brick and concrete of the city.
One door leads back to the lounging area. The large window leads to an outside staircase or fire escape.
