Kitchen planning - input on room planning/logistics desired

The planning is not ideal. Anyone who wants to get to the fridge has to walk through the entire kitchen.

On the island, you will prepare breakfast, fold laundry, and when cooking, you will always work between the sink and the cooktop.

Because a cooktop is rarely used, <1 hour per day, I would swap the cooktop with the tall cabinets. No one stands at the cooktop for a long time, especially when, as here, you have a range of hot appliances.

It is dangerous to stack hot appliances, and I wonder why there are 3 devices. A DGC is used rarely in many households, the effort to cook a few potatoes is too much for most.

A dishwasher is best positioned so that you only have to unload it from ONE side to avoid unnecessary walking. Whether you are right- or left-handed is irrelevant; you adapt. I have never thought about such things in the kitchen.

You can load almost everything from one spot to the left of the dishwasher; it goes very quickly.

The fridge is on the far right side.

I would make the island 30-80-30 wide.

The cooking side consists of 3 x 80 cm base cabinets, and a 40 cm base cabinet fits to the right of the sink (I think, the wall and window measurements on the top plan are missing).

The hood can also be invisible; the extractor is pulled out from under the wall cabinet or operated by control. Works just as well, but looks simpler.

I think about it differently:

If you work alone in the kitchen, the arrangement of the cooktop is fine.
If you are very tall, you will manage well with the upper oven unit - I would also choose a unit with a side door hinge or slide-in in that case.
If you are also slim, you will be able to stand right in the corner in front of the sink.
If you are left-handed, the dishwasher is in the right place.
If rarely someone comes into the kitchen from the hallway, the refrigerator door is also rarely in the way.

Visually, this kitchen can be very appealing. The half-island is great for setting up a buffet when you are celebrating something. The quick route to the front door does cost storage space, but it is very practical.

Hello, thank you very much for the great input. In the meantime, we have even considered extending the island across the entire width and only using the entrance on the left; from there you also have direct access to the living/dining area. That would visually enhance it again and you wouldn't be able to see the kitchen floor directly. The room is simply not very large overall – what do you think about that?

Nothing.

How do you want to quickly grab salt and pepper from the dining table? Or something to drink?

what do you think about it?

At first impulse: nothing. I thought of the increasingly long distances. At second impulse I can definitely appreciate the idea if it creates a kind of counter to the living area.

I just think that the path around it won’t necessarily be much longer, and yes, it is supposed to be a kind of counter area, and there would be the possibility to create a visually nicer, calmer view.
