I find the whole layout very unfortunate. Standing in front of the stove blocks the door, the sink should be mirrored for right-handers and visually centered under the window. Also, there should be more counter space to the right of the sink for dirty dishes. If you already have the opportunity, place the stove and sink at an angle so that you get an ergonomic work triangle. And tall cabinets should frame the kitchen, not divide it. The room should also provide enough space to do without expensive and outdated corner cabinets. I’ll draw something if you like.

The planning doesn't work at all. It is neither practical nor functional, and 3! work areas... Two of them will sooner or later become storage space.

I would do it completely differently.

The small area in the middle with tall cabinets and oven, microwave, and co. Opposite to that (so far away from the living room) possibly more tall cabinets for storage. And then a long L-shape with work area, sink, and cooktop as desired. Cooktop, for example, in the corner, sink to the left of it.

Thanks to induction, a pot resting area should actually be unnecessary, but I will consult with the cook about that.


I will address the points:
1. Door blocked: It only leads to the utility room. The freezer is right there, which is very practical for cooking (parsley, for example).
2. Sink: It will be a double sink, meaning the faucet will be between two basins. Then it doesn’t matter where the draining area is (if that is what was meant).
3. Dirty dishes go in the dishwasher, which is located immediately to the right and elevated. So usually, you only place maybe two handfuls of dishes there to open it. It might happen that something large is placed there that would be in the way. I will clarify that.
4. Work triangle: The idea behind the layout was that the cook can work undisturbed in the back left while dishes/cutlery etc. can be brought in and out on the right side. This is very important to us.
5. The half-height cabinets are necessary because we want the dishwasher and oven to be installed at height. We really like the old-fashioned corner cabinets, so we want to keep them if at all possible. The kitchen actually offers enough space for that.


Chopping takes place between sink and cooktop, plating on the right, next to the fridge there is storage space for appliances and breakfast/coffee. It should actually fit.


We had considered that, but it goes against the idea that someone is constantly buzzing behind and beside the cook to set/clear the table. But I will discuss this again as well.

Basically, we are satisfied with the planning, it’s more about whether the price is okay.

I don't quite understand that, what do you mean? You think the price is too high?

I have roughly sketched this here. Since I don't know the measurements, I made a rough guess.

Better and probably cheaper.
