The Galley Workstation installed in a kitchen island with faucet and culinary tools

Workstation system

A better way to prepare, serve, and clean.

The Galley Workstation turns the sink area into an active kitchen zone for prep, rinsing, serving, entertaining, and cleanup.

At KI Atelier in Vancouver, the workstation can be reviewed as part of a complete kitchen plan, including cabinetry, countertop openings, faucet placement, appliance flow, storage, and how the system fits into an island, perimeter run, or dedicated prep area.

Preparation

Prep over the basin

Cutting boards, bowls, colanders, racks, and grates allow daily prep work to happen directly where water and cleanup are already located.

Serving

Shift from prep to serving

The workstation can shift from preparation to serving, helping the counter support casual hosting without spreading everything across the kitchen.

Water

Plan the tap with the work

Faucet reach, tap placement, rinsing space, and cleanup flow should be considered with the workstation rather than treated as separate decisions.

Layout

Fit it into the kitchen

Size, cabinet support, countertop cutout, appliance position, dishwasher access, and circulation all shape where the system belongs.

Workstation design

Layers of work, held inside one basin.

The Workstation is organized around movement. Tools slide into position, stack above and below one another, and keep preparation, serving, and cleanup close to the water source.

Instead of treating the sink as an interruption in the counter, the system makes the basin part of the working surface. Boards, bowls, colanders, racks, grates, and serving pieces can be planned around how the kitchen is actually used.

Multi-tier basin

A layered basin structure lets tools sit at different heights, so prep, rinsing, draining, and serving can happen over the sink area.

Culinary Kit

Cutting boards, colanders, mixing bowls, drying racks, grates, and Upper Deck pieces create different work surfaces within the same footprint.

Stainless steel construction

The Workstation line uses 16-gauge 316L stainless steel basin construction, with drainage and tool movement planned into the system.

Surface and sound details

Angel Finish, SilentArmor sound reduction, and bottom grates support daily use, cleaning, noise control, and long-term wear.

Kitchen planning

Cabinet support, countertop cutout, drain location, faucet placement, dishwasher access, and working clearances should be reviewed together.

The Galley Tap installed with a kitchen workstation

Tap system

A faucet designed around the workstation.

The Galley Tap is planned as part of the Workstation, with water flow, reach, hand spray movement, and cleanup all considered around the way the sink area is used.

Laminar flow supports filling pots and glasses with a quiet, steady stream. Jet Spray gives more force for rinsing produce, cookware, dishes, and Culinary Tools. At KI Atelier, the Tap can be reviewed with the Workstation layout instead of being selected as a separate finishing detail.

Flow modes

Laminar mode for filling and drinking, with Jet Spray mode for rinsing and cleaning.

Reach and movement

The Tap is designed with an 11-inch spout projection, 11-inch pot fill height, and 26-inch hand spray extension.

Material

Solid 316L machined stainless steel construction supports daily use, indoor and outdoor applications, and long-term operation.

Planning options

The wider suite includes BarTap, Hot & Cold Tap, Pot Filler Tap, Soap Dispenser, Deck Switch, Air Gap, and filtration options.

Planning details

Plan the workstation before the kitchen is finalized.

The Galley works best when it is considered early, alongside cabinetry, countertops, water placement, appliances, storage, and the way people move through the kitchen.

Location

Island, perimeter run, bar area, or prep zone

The workstation does not have to live in one type of layout. It can be planned for an island, a wall-side counter, a bar area, a secondary kitchen, or a dedicated prep area, depending on how the room is used.

Cabinet support

Size, structure, and access below

The selected model affects cabinet width, interior support, plumbing access, storage below, and the way the basin is carried inside the millwork. These details should be reviewed before cabinetry is ordered.

Countertop opening

Cutout, edge detail, and template timing

Countertop material, cutout dimensions, edge treatment, drain position, and installation sequence all shape the finished result. The workstation should be coordinated before templating, not solved after.

Water placement

Tap reach, accessories, and drain orientation

The main Tap, Hot & Cold Tap, filtration, soap dispenser, deck switch, air gap, and hand spray movement need to be considered with the workstation, countertop, backsplash, and surrounding work surface.

Kitchen flow

Cooking, cleanup, and movement through the room

Cooktop position, refrigerator access, dishwasher location, waste pullout, prep space, serving area, and circulation all affect where the workstation belongs and how useful it becomes.

Daily use

Tools chosen for the way the kitchen is lived in

Cutting boards, bowls, colanders, racks, grates, and serving pieces should be selected around real habits, from weekday preparation to larger gatherings and cleanup afterward.

Prep, serve, entertain

From prep to serving, the workstation stays active.

This is where the workstation changes the rhythm of the kitchen. Food preparation, drinks, serving pieces, rinsing, and cleanup can stay within reach instead of spreading across the counter.

In daily use, that changes where people stand, how food is served, and how cleanup happens after the meal.

Showroom review

See The Galley in context.

Seeing the Workstation in person helps clarify scale, reach, and tool selection before drawings are finalized. You can compare basin sizes, Tap placement, Culinary Kit options, and the way the setup supports prep, serving, and cleanup.

Bring early ideas, drawings, appliance selections, or an active renovation plan. The goal is to narrow down which Galley configuration fits the kitchen before key decisions are locked in.

What to bring

Plans, drawings, or a clear starting point.

A showroom visit does not require a finished kitchen design. A rough plan, inspiration images, cabinet dimensions, appliance list, countertop direction, or a simple description of how the kitchen will be used can all help shape the right Galley setup.

Layout stage

Early concept, active renovation, new build, or specification review.

Kitchen type

Island, perimeter run, bar area, prep zone, secondary kitchen, or outdoor kitchen.

Planning focus

Workstation size, Tap placement, Culinary Kit tools, countertop cutout, cabinetry, and appliance flow.

Gastown showroom

Review The Galley with your kitchen plan.

At KI Atelier, you can compare The Galley Workstation, Tap, and Culinary Kit options against the decisions that shape the kitchen, including cabinet support, countertop openings, appliance placement, storage, and everyday workflow.

Bring drawings, measurements, appliance selections, inspiration images, or early ideas. We can help identify which Galley configuration fits an island, perimeter run, prep area, or renovation before key details are finalized.
