Hello,
Our kitchen layout is basically finalized. For the plot, we have planned a closed kitchen because we don’t want potential odors or the noise from the dishwasher or the range hood to disturb the living room. Therefore, two sliding doors are currently planned, which can be used from the dining area (pictures). Overall, we find the kitchen company’s idea interesting.
Now that we are at the shell construction stage, an open kitchen looks more stylish and spacious. It’s definitely something different compared to the 3D plan. What do you think about the solution with two sliding doors and the kitchen island in between?
Maybe just a half wall in front of the kitchen island would look nice? That way, the sliding doors would be omitted.
Thanks for your advice!

Keep it as an open concept, and you will mostly enjoy the benefits and be satisfied.
Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal preference, so there will be many people with arguments for and against (there have been several discussions in the past). We also originally planned to use sliding doors (for the same reasons/concerns as you) but ended up choosing the open version. We are happy with it and even saved some money 🙂

Hausbautraum2015 Feb 2022 17:21I can’t agree with the previous speaker.
We have a large sliding door and are very satisfied.
We close the door when someone is cooking and the other person is watching TV, when things are not tidied up, or when cooking something with strong odors...
However, I have also thought that an even larger sliding door or two doors would have been even better, as it would allow you to enjoy all the benefits of an open kitchen.
But overall, this is of course a personal preference.
I don’t find kitchens cozy and don’t need to see them all day long.
