Kitchen is one of the spaces in the house and it plays an important role for the residents of the house. The kitchen used to do some household chores such as cooking, preparing meals, washing dishes and so on. The kitchen area such as cooking space, food preparation space and storage are used to make the work easier for the residents of the house. However, the efficiency of the work is influenced by the amount of lux received on an affected area. Without an adequate level of lighting, it will interfere with the quality of work in the kitchen. Therefore, this topical study was conducted to observe the appropriate amount of lux for a person to do work in the kitchen well. This study is inspired from several articles to look at some factors that influence the amount of lux required in the kitchen. To see the effectiveness of the amount of lux received in the kitchen when doing work, an observation was also conducted in medium cost terrace houses in Kedah and an analysis of the standard amount of lux for the same type of terrace house was held. A sufficient amount of lux based on the information obtained in this study can show that a kitchen in the medium cost terrace house gets enough lighting for the residents of the house to do work in the kitchen.
