ᐅ Overwhelmed by a basic kitchenette – does anyone have any ideas?

In the apartments for our guys, I have a straight wall with a length of 2.9 m (9.5 feet) where I want to install a small kitchen unit. Both kitchen units should be identical but mirrored in their layout. In one corner, a 24 kW tankless water heater needs to fit inside a base cabinet to supply both the kitchen and bathroom. This unit is approximately 45 cm (18 inches) high, 25 cm (10 inches) wide, and 10 cm (4 inches) deep.
The kitchen should include a sink with a small draining area, two cooking zones, a small oven with a microwave function, and a built-in refrigerator with a freezer compartment. A range hood can be omitted. The ceiling height in this area is 2.45 m (8 feet). It would be ideal to have the microwave device in a slightly taller cabinet at working height.
There should be enough space for basic cookware, dishes, cutlery, glasses, food supplies, waste, and some cleaning materials for the apartment. I’m only getting unsatisfactory results experimenting with pen and paper and curse both the Sweet 3D program and the Ikea online planner equally. Who has the time, interest, and passion to help me?

Wow, there are two of us, and our dishwasher runs daily, sometimes even more often. We also cook every day.
Maybe it’s better to rent a holiday apartment with a dishwasher? I know my mother always appreciated that.
Just as a side note: washing by hand uses more water and energy 😉

unfortunately yes, with a latent reluctance and constant disregard. ?
Throw it out!? Not the cast iron, I mean. With antique silver, that's even more unacceptable...
I have to say, our dishwasher runs once a day. In the morning, it handles breakfast dishes and cutlery, plus the mixing bowl and glasses from shakes and smoothies, along with coffee mugs. Although we eat out at lunch, at least one person usually brings homemade food, so dirty dishes come back. Also, our two thermal mugs return dirty every evening. Dinner is cooked at home as well.
Even if the dishwasher is only about 75% full afterward, I still run it. There are half-load programs, after all. I don’t worry about water consumption. The idea that you have to save water here in Germany is nonsense. Besides, I never use an eco or water-saving program. Hot and intensive is better. It’s good for the machine’s lifespan. Buying a new one sooner would ruin any saved environmental benefits.

Yes, a lot of thought has gone into our architecture... So, penalizing rule violations by setting up your own apartments with separate kitchens would not have been my first (or second, or third) consideration. Send me to a weekly training session for that!
Use a dishwasher, but only provide unsuitable accessories. 😉
(Or maybe I still haven’t understood it?)
