Hello everyone,
we are currently in the planning phase of our single-family house.

I would like to hear your opinion regarding the kitchen size. In your view, is a kitchen run of about 3.78m (12.4 feet) plus an island plus a separate tall cabinet/fridge sufficient?
In our current apartment, we have about 2.90m (9.5 feet) kitchen run plus an island. Here, the countertop is unfortunately sometimes a bit too small:

An alternative could be to rotate the table and then install half-height cabinets with a countertop behind the sofa. However, I am not really fond of this option:

Floor plan of a house: living, cooking/dining, hallway, storage, WC, entrance, garage, terrace, garden.


Thank you very much for your opinions!

Best regards, Hannes

But you are showing "top of plan" window bands
Top of plan = the windows at the top of the wall on the plan ... see the red box:
Hi Katja,

yes, narrow windows are planned here. The window on the far left is in the living room (see 3D model) and the one on the far right is in the hallway. The middle ones are in the storage room and the WC (not visible in the kitchen).

By the way, I recommend considering a kitchen island with a sink ...

I was already thinking about that, and with your 2.5m (8.2 ft) island, there should be enough space now, right?

Is a ducted or recirculating system planned for the range hood?

We actually don’t want a traditional range hood. We are currently leaning toward a downdraft extractor integrated into the cooktop.

Well, I meant windows with a height of 80cm (31 inches)

That is also a type of cooker hood... the question is whether it will be vented outside or a recirculation model?

It will end up being a recirculating version.
