Hello Micric,
I can well understand your wish for a large kitchen. I wouldn’t want a narrow corridor either and would like to share some personal experience: I have an island, on the right side there is a 115 cm distance to the tall cabinets. If a cabinet or drawer is open and my husband is standing in front of it, I can no longer get through. That’s annoying. On the front side I have 155 cm distance between the island and the cabinets, I do have to take one more step, but in return you can always pass each other. That one step has never bothered me. I also find that the proximity of the kitchen to the terrace is overrated. I always pile everything on the tray anyway and whether I walk 5 meters or 10 meters with it doesn’t matter! Everyone wants a big house, but no one wants to take even one extra step. For example, I have deliberately put the washing machine and dryer in the basement and like to take the stairs. Each extends life by a few minutes. When you’re old, it might be different. But then I’d rather build new again.
Over the weekend I played a bit with your floor plan: kitchen even (!) bigger, living room entrance and couch positioned differently (more cozy than with your back to the action), no more awkward corner at the entrance/wardrobe/utility room, large wardrobe cabinet, bathroom different (large tub possible with storage compartments on the left and right, large shower), guest WC longer but narrower (mine has an interior dimension of 110 cm, that’s perfectly fine with corresponding length!) I drew a large door in the WC to show that it works, but I think a 76 cm door is enough.
Regarding the small partition wall in the living room: I once saw something like that at friends’ place, the wall was designed with stone cladding and illuminated. Looked great. On the other side a cozy bench at the table would be possible.
