Bay window in the kitchen - implementation suggestions

2020-10-27 11:55:00

I thought such bay windows have long been banned by the Chamber of Architects because they were identified as an architectural sin of the 90s. I also see the significant disadvantages in terms of cost/benefit, as well as concerning the building facade, but currently cannot recognize the desired advantage in them. Do I want to generate a maximum great view or storage space or a special workplace, etc.? But simply making a corner just seems to me like helplessness. You should definitely upload the ENTIRE floor plan and then you will get good suggestions that you (and possibly your architect) can then consider. Maybe it will be a huge window with a view from the dining area or while cooking, etc. or whatever is important to you or can be implemented due to local conditions.

So here you have EG & OG completely

Yeah... I agree about the '90s. I know corners of buildings from exactly that time. Even though the roofing on the east side up to the garage is chosen in a modern style, I would prefer a rectangular bay window. I don't know if it looks good if you only have it on the ground floor (because of the small windows regarding the workspace). Actually, I would have preferred a bay window over 2 floors, but I'm unsure whether you can see that with two full floors and a shallow gable roof or if you need a certain knee wall.

And regarding leaving out the pantry: I would only be willing to do that as a last resort. I really like a cool separate pantry, even though few have one today. Especially with a stove in the open living area.

...

It is original and I quite like it. Nevertheless, I would like to know how much time you or someone else spends at this countertop looking outside. In my opinion, it is always a pity when windows are "built up from below" and you therefore cannot approach them fully or even go outside through a window door/patio door. Would it be an alternative to leave at least part of the windows without the extension and instead integrate a retractable countertop into the bar/table that can be pulled out and pushed in as needed? Another idea might be a semi-circular bay window, as I usually prefer curves over corners and angles.

Painting the pantry, instead a tall cabinet wall and an aircraft carrier kitchen island with a counter by the bay window is the first thing that comes to mind...

But you would have to check the measurements to make sure the passage from the living area to the counter via the island fits.
Since you are still early in the process, the walls can still be moved, which is why the note about the floor plan and the measurements—completely independent of whether an idea like mine is even an option—is justified.
The kitchen must be planned together with the floor plan, not afterwards. Then it can really become a nice corner.

Ideally, the tall cabinet wall and thus the room would have a width of 6 cabinets at 60 cm each, so 3.6 m.
That would also fit perfectly with the island (width 1.20 m), so that there is 1.2 m of space on both long sides of the island.
With 5 cabinets and 3.0 m it gets a bit tighter, but probably still possible.

Thanks for your effort I will take a look at it, but as I said... the pantry will then be gone.

It is original and I quite like it. However, I would still like to know how much time you or someone else spends at this countertop looking outside. In my opinion, it is always such a pity when windows are "built in at the bottom" and you thus cannot get right up to them or even go outside through a window door/patio door. Would it be an alternative to leave at least part of the windows without a projection and instead integrate a retractable countertop into the bar/table that can be pulled out and pushed back in as needed? Another idea might be a semicircular bay window, as I usually prefer curves to corners and points.

Do you mean to leave out part of the countertop on the window side? Or how should I understand that?

Addendum: I just saw, round doesn't fit, it would look like a bump.
