galley kitchen

Corridor-style cooking space

A galley kitchen is a narrow kitchen with counters and appliances along two parallel walls, creating a corridor-like workspace.

The layout maximizes efficiency in tight spaces—everything within arm's reach—and is common in apartments, boats, and older homes.

The galley kitchen was cramped but functional.
