Kitchen planning with deep windows

I was being creative earlier. Attached are 2 variants based on the original version.
At 3.8m and island at 90 degrees to the windows (favorite because you look into the rooms and along the windows)
0.6 kitchen unit. 1.1 distance, 0.6 window distance (fixed, only for cleaning) = 1.5 island.
If you make the hallway narrower, you could gain another 30 cm in the kitchen. Then you would be at 4.1m.

Another variant.
Long in front of the windows... you had expressed very critical concerns about that.
Advantage would be that you use the room length and have more distance in width...

We had made a wall panel to be able to close off the kitchen as well (glass and door inside, also retrofittable) and possibly put something against it.

P.S. I don’t like a tall fridge or stove next to the door myself, that would also have to be replanned.

I just wanted to get an impression of how it actually looks.

Yvonne, 2 2-panel windows with a counter in the middle at 90 degrees don’t sound bad either.
I have to see if it’s optically feasible from the outside. How big would you put that wall segment in between?
Symmetry to above would then be broken... we have to think about that again.
We need the individual windows on the outside up there anyway as they are part of the respective rooms.

A question for kbt: do you have an idea how to use the mentioned 6m2 better?

Best regards, you hardworking ones!!

Kbt, you mean the 6m2 waste in front of and behind the partition wall. I'm unfortunately not quite sure if I understood that correctly. It would be great if you could briefly describe it again. The passage to the terrace door, i.e., directly in front of the partition wall, is needed in any case. Does that speak for an open kitchen from your point of view? Yvonne, you also mentioned the unrest.. We also wanted to be able to close it. It occurs to me that we originally had a sliding door in there!!! Exactly in the middle where the wall section is now. Our arguments against it were: they are mechanically complex and expensive, often not tight, you have no space for furniture and no view from the dining area to the gallery. But unrest, Yvonne, that's a completely new aspect for us and a good point. As well as the waste you mentioned, kbt. Do you think that would be better.. maybe you then have more room.. If yes, which type of sliding door would you find suitable? Or which type of partition? Thanks

Dear Yvonne. One more question: Hallway and stairs mirrored means stairs facing the living room. I have to check how that fits with upstairs. You mean the hallway passage then shifts to the left? (seen from the entrance). What exactly is the advantage? Then there is no escape route with the kitchen door anymore, right? Thanks. And sorry that I have to ask so many questions.

So .. I don't know where you want to get 410 cm of room width for the kitchen from. Your island solutions with room width 325 cm do not work.

And yes, the 6 sqm is the space in front of and behind the wall panel.

And I don't have another idea there at the moment, if so I would build the house differently and play that through, unfortunately I don't have time for that right now.

Good morning,
It is not 325 but 380 up to the window plus max.! 30 cm.
We have also played through house variants. with office (kitchen street) or kitchen (living room with L) in the northeast. not really our thing. longitudinal building plot. conditionally.
The living room should already run along the garden at the back.
Replanning would only be possible if you give up both outer windows upstairs. and make the gable smaller. you often find that. we had that at the beginning. however, the b plan is no fun.
What do you say about the sliding door?

I would rather divide it like this with a large sliding door ... Staircase now mirrored as well, just as Yvonne suggested.

In the kitchen, you spend most of the time preparing, chopping, washing vegetables/meat, etc.
