NEW York apartments are primed for a kitchen revolution – or at least 180 degrees.

The Circular Kitchen is the latest in culinary concepts – a complete, self-contained kitchen that can be installed anywhere. The brainchild of New Zealand-based designer Alfred Averbeck, the kitchen takes up about 18 square feet – perfect for the space-challenged New York flat. And since it has doors, you can let the dishes pile up with impunity.

Averbeck calls it the “CleverKitchen” – and is it ever.

Tricked out with sink, fridge, microwave/oven, stovetop and dishwasher, the mod mess hall can be jazzed up with an under-the-cupboard coffee station and comes in an array of colors. It retails from $6,500 – up to $15,000 with high-end appliances. (Note to the fellas: Averbeck is working on a version designed just for men.) The kitchen is available only in Europe, although Birgit Averbeck, Alfred’s wife and partner, e-mails that they’re looking for investors to help them bring it to the U.S.
