  • You haven't got much cupboard space with this. Is there a reason you are not going all the way round underneath the window? You could relatively easily get/build a half height shelving thing for the bit to the left of the washing machine so the counter would be continuous.

    Random assorted thoughts -

    1. Is the wall that the cooker on a chimney breast? Although expensive
      you could have a cooker extractor thing in front of the window and
      extract air to the outside?
    2. Having a sink > prep > cooker is usually a good thing so if there was a way to get that in, it would be ideal
    3. You could use some 40cm reduced depth full height cupboards for a portion of the chimney breast if you went all the way round the window which would open up your sitting bit by removing the breakfast bar.
    4. It might be nice to swap the draining rack to the other side so that you have somewhere above the dishwasher for dirty/clean dishes?
  • Appreciate your input, ta. A good test of the logic.

    Indeed. There utility becomes a pantry, though.

    Extract air to the outside?

    Might look into this. Suspect it's difficult as the flat is in a conservation area so anything new on the outside needs planning permission. Might be exempted for vents, I need to review the documentation.

    Having a sink > prep > cooker is usually a good thing

    Agreed for sure. Don't think I can though, for the available budget.

    Reduced depth full height cupboards for a portion of the chimney breast

    Not shown on the plan is a recess (Edinburgh press cupboard) that is receiving the fridge and microwave) between cooker and window. So not planning to run work surfaces in front of all this. However the plan allows for extension of the cupboards and surfaces around there and in front of the window if o change my mind!

    Swap the draining rack

    Cool, could work, will have a think!
