Kitchen Planning New Single-Family House - First Offer Nolte

I think the pictures are misleading, those are shadows.

I think the grip recesses are (aluminum) gray, but the base is probably the same color as the fronts.

The kitchen island seems very wide to me at 2.07 meters. That means you only have just under 1 meter of passage between the island and the cooktop.

13500 for Nolte and this kitchen size seems quite cheap to me. It probably also depends on the electrical appliances, as someone already mentioned, but I would calculate that the invoice will show a different price afterwards. Unless you are very consistent and "do not supply anything extra." Otherwise, I find 1.20m between the island and the row quite sufficient. And a 2m wide peninsula is really appealing. We had that in the old house and really enjoyed the space. For example, to put away groceries and such. It's really great to have such a large and deep surface in the kitchen.

The price does not sound particularly bad, rather cheap, but of course it depends on the electrical appliances. Think again about whether the corner carousel really makes sense; in my opinion, in most cases it does not.

However, I can also well imagine a two-row solution with tall cabinets (and possibly a niche for coffee machines, etc., depending on the width maybe even a sink) on the right side and then an island in front, so from top to bottom. Just as a suggestion, but depending on the door on the left side, it could be tight.

What are sliding cabinets, what are folding cabinets? Do you mean drawers and (normal) cabinets? What does partially mean here?

How do you find the basic layout from the planning perspective?

It's not mine with the attached island, but that doesn't matter.

You don't see much! You can see that there is no space for the side-by-side fridge now because the right side of the plan is longer.
You don't know where the stove will go, where which electrical appliance is.
You also don't know the widths of the drawers or how they arrange with the cabinets.
But that is what matters. Also, the interior makes up a large part of the price. I assume that many cabinets don't have any interior fittings and only the explicitly mentioned carousel is included?

Do you find the offer fair?

If there is nothing inside, it is probably a normal price.

I would sketch the individual cabinets into a kitchen-compliant grid (larger scale, boxes for 10 or 20 cm) and specify the use of the individual cabinets and drawers.

There is no offer in this form, that is merely a price. To be able to evaluate an offer, the devices must be named with the corresponding model number and the set price. Personally, I have never received an offer where the prices were listed individually. Accordingly, €13,500 can be great, but it can also be expensive for you. It almost all stands and falls with the electrical appliances.

Hello Yaso, I don’t know where you can really get a precise offer where you can exactly verify what is being installed and what it costs. We are not aware of that. We only know that these are Siemens devices. Induction cooktop with downdraft ventilation; maximum large refrigerator with freezer below and an oven with self-cleaning program. Is that enough for an assessment?

The cooking island seems very wide to me at 2.07 meters. That means you only have just under 1 meter of passage between the island and the cooktop.

It is just over one meter of passage, isn’t that enough?

Otherwise, I find 1.20 m between island and row quite sufficient. And a 2 m wide peninsula is really appealing. We had that in the old house and really enjoyed the space. For example, to put away groceries and such. It’s really great to have such a large and deep surface in the kitchen.

Exactly, we already have this "luxury" currently and would like to continue having it.

but of course it stands and falls with the electrical appliances. Think again about whether the carousel in the corner really makes sense; I am of the opinion that in most cases it does not.

As written above, unfortunately we have not received more information about the appliances… What is supposed to be there instead of the carousel in the corner? We actually found that quite sensible.

However, I can also well imagine a two-row solution with tall cabinets (and possibly a niche for coffee machine etc., depending on the width maybe even a sink) on the right side and then an island in front, i.e. from top to bottom. Just as a suggestion, but it could become tight depending on the door on the left side.

We also considered that when "looking at kitchens." We think it looks a bit cramped when you have such a long and rather narrow passage left and right of the island. Don’t you think so? We would manage the door suitably.
