Dear forum members,
I would appreciate it if you could take another look at our house design.
When planning, it’s easy to become blind to issues, so I am looking forward to your feedback. Thank you very much.
The plot measures approximately 17.5 m (57 feet) wide by 72 m (236 feet) long and is located in a rural community.
Here you will find the floor plans and some pictures. Best regards, Steffi33.

Not that difficult... you can create a nice roof using the furniture piece "Blue Slate Roof." I applied new textures to the surfaces, adjusted the dimensions slightly, and by duplicating and grouping the individual elements, I created a nice gable roof. Creating a cross roof is more complicated and you have to build it yourself. You can find instructions in the relevant forums. Best regards, Steffi33.

Have two additional protected power outlets installed in the pantry. You might want to add a second hot appliance (steam oven or similar) and possibly also install the main oven in a cabinet at a higher level. This could also be done in the pantry to preserve the clean look of your kitchen. This might generally be a good approach, with a regular base cabinet under the cooktop as well.

Hello kbt, the idea is quite good... We actually use our oven rather rarely, mostly for family gatherings. So having such a prominent spot in the kitchen almost feels like a waste. However, I’m afraid the space in the pantry is too limited for it. But I will keep it in mind when planning the kitchen and electrical layout. Best regards, Steffi.

You only need a 60cm (24 inch) wide cabinet, which you can also buy at Ikea, for example.
