ᐅ First step toward the new open-plan kitchen! Is this design feasible?

Good morning,

we have now reached the point where we need to think about the kitchen in our new build.
The current plan looks like this:

2D kitchen floor plan with sink, stove, and base cabinets in L-shape

It was very important to us that the oven/microwave and dishwasher are not located at floor level.
We have not yet decided whether to install a downdraft extractor or a slanted hood. However, due to the ventilation system, we need an automatic extraction duct to the exterior wall, similar to a Flow Star 150.

The initial quote shocked us a bit. After some calculations, the kitchen planner came up with 12,000 euros (without appliances) for a Nobilia kitchen with good gloss fronts and mid-range drawers.

3D floor plan of an interior: white kitchen unit, red floor, white furniture structures


Since the space is quite limited, would you do anything differently?
Any tips or comments?
How do you assess the price in relation to the kitchen?
Since the manufacturer uses standard sizes, would you prefer to buy from a large furniture store or from a smaller kitchen studio?

Thank you for your help!

A floor plan without dimensions is worthless.

@Pinky0301 .. me neither ... just scraped off the residue, either into general waste or compost. That’s why I have a base cabinet with a waste sorting system ... like I said, just google it.

Oh sorry, okay.
The dishwasher really appreciates it when there is kale or spinach.

@Subwoofer, that’s why you wipe off the leftovers into the base cabinet with the waste system first, and then the dishwasher won’t have any problems there. At least it hasn’t for me in over 30 years.

It is sufficient to build the kitchen cover not as a continuing wall but using drywall with a thickness of 8 cm (3 inches). This way, the niche will fit.

I would definitely move the window on the right side about 15 cm (6 inches) further up on the plan.

For us, a built-in elevated dishwasher was not feasible due to space limitations. We then found a solution that we like even better: the ComfortLift feature from AEG.
