STR DESIGN REFERENCE · COMPONENT WORKBOOK

Kitchen inventory and work zones: STR design workbooks

Study 10 design elements across nineteen practical decisions, with specific evidence cards and editable property records.

Published October 13, 2026 · MyBnBDesign

Choose an element, then the unresolved decision. Each element uses the same nineteen-stage lifecycle so the task and supporting records remain clear. Component-specific evidence changes the application; the shared protocols are identified on each workbook.

Use the reference with the project roadmap

Begin with the earliest unresolved decision for the element. Keep the actual site, product and service evidence together and assign open questions to a person who can answer them. The workbooks organize an owner’s process and are not universal product specifications or professional certifications.
