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?

Even if the machine is only 75% full afterward, I run it. There are half-load programs anyway. And I don’t worry about the water. Saving it is nonsense here in Germany.Unfortunately, this statement is no longer accurate, especially after last summer, and I fear the situation won’t really improve in the future.
A dishwasher running once a day is fine, but as soon as everyone waters their lawns in summer, it’s over.
To stay on topic 😉
I love our dishwasher and it runs almost daily. If the child would eat reasonable packed lunches, it would run even less often.

Anyone concerned about water use will run a half-full dishwasher rather than wash the dishes by hand (or rinse them to prevent mold). A modern dishwasher uses only about 10 liters (2.6 gallons) of water per cycle. You wouldn’t wash half the load by hand. By the way, those who worry less about water but more about energy usually follow the same practice. More water also means more energy is needed to heat it.
A quick idea – maybe I’m on the wrong track 😉 IKEA, somewhat modern style with a bar for two, high-gloss gray fronts, sides and countertop in anthracite. Combination oven with microwave, refrigerator with a 79 liter (21 gallon) freezer compartment, separate stovetop – but of course it can also be installed next to the sink. Total cost 2,630 euros all inclusive (appliances can also be bought for the same price elsewhere).

A quick thought – maybe I’m heading in the wrong direction 😉 Thank you very much for this draft with the calculation. Interesting idea to place the counter on the entrance side. I’ll be back from the business trip on Friday and will show it to my family.
Best regards, Max
