Clipped this from a thread over at the True32 forum, a site where people congregate, that design, build, and install frameless-style cabinetry.
In the funky birds-eye view shown, you can see how the cabs are angled to open up the space in a doorway.

In a tight kitchen I would use a single angle end cab to get the most out of the space as well as avoid the funky look of a double tapered countertop.
Gene,
Interesting solution.
Door gets a bit more swing if it opens into the room, walk way feels right for travel lane in or out.
Not pleasing to my eye (for whatever that's worth). Why not just radius the end cabinet?

Why not just radius the end cabinet?
Not my design, but probably 'cause it would cost a whole lot more, and since the other side is angular, the curve would look lonely.
That little section of c'top over the one side can be given a curve, since there are no drawers under to compromise.
I realized it wasn't your design (just commenting for discussion) and radius would cost more, but all that aside, you're right. I didn't even notice that cabinet on the other side of the door. It doesn't seem there's room to do a radius cabinet on that side, and putting one only on the other side would look out of place.I suppose the design is a decent compromise for a small space. Maybe it would look better if the cabinet on the right only had one angle to mimic the cabinet on the left, unless that would impede traffic.Jerry
