Yes, we know the kitchen is quite large, but the other rooms on the ground floor are all a good size as well, and making the entire floor plan smaller is almost impossible because we need the space upstairs due to the sloping roof. It is also intended that in an emergency, the living room can be turned into another room, then the dining room can be used as the living room, and the kitchen can include the dining area. The second entrance on the side is actually from the garage, it is just not shown in the plan.
