Those windows/doors are quite different between the two, is that deliberate? Be good to know where the sun rises and sets too plus what the infiltration currently is and whether it should be considered as part of the plans. I like this example of designing both inside and outside spaces: https://mustardarchitects.com/projects/casa-del-sole

yeah we'd knock down a window and replace it with french doors for the new kitchen (current dining room). Should have noted there is actually a window in the current family room too, more or less where i've put one in the ikea plan.
Handily, 'south' on the diagram/floor plan is almost true south IRL. We would probably put 2 window lights above the dining table position, and decking for the french windows to open on to - having indoor/outdoor is what we're keen on too. Even having the doors open when cooking in the summer would be nice... but it also got my wondering whether I wouldn't want the dining table close to those french windows and have the kitchen elsewhere....

bumping my post - any ideas?
Original/current floorplan here
Here is a mockup i've created using ikea kitchen panel

Here's a 2d version of the ikea plan
I wanted to move the kitchen into the 'core' of the house - the extension has lower ceilings and the long and narrow nature of it made bringing the dining and kitchen area together a bit tricky. The extension meanwhile will be an office/utility space.
Is this a good use of space? Can you think of ways it could be done better? Likely to stick a couch or something in the empty space next to the dining table.
