island placement

4 years ago

Hello. Is the island centered on the wall with range? Or is it centered to the range itself? Also, is the large window with chairs aligned/centered to the island? Just curious to the symmetry or if things are slightly off balance and it still works. Thank you!!

Hi Kristen! In this design scenario we created a very symmetrical space. The range wall, island and buffet style dining are all symmetrical. The chandelier and range line up centered with each other.

European houses don't appear to be designed on Feng shui guidelines therefore must be quite difficult to place items in such spaces unless one is lucky to accidentally have spaces that coincide with Feng Shui principles. Guess houses need to be designed with these principles in construction and then interior placement naturally follows through from concept to finish.

Hi LTS, The sketch plan your architect has come up with is not what I would expect from a 'qualified' architect. If you didn't request a study why is it included? The dining table is orientated such that three of the eight seats do not allow a view of the garden but face the kitchen. The door to the utility room is in the wrong location which should be adjacent the kitchen and I'm not sure you need anything like the length of the utility room as shown. There could have been a little more thought given to structural matters at this stage - eg: the beam above kitchen will be large, expensive and cumbersome to install correctly. On the plus side the overall planning principles are OK - but the whole plan needs to be prepared to a larger scale (1:50) and to indicate clearly where each piece of furniture is to be placed and how the kitchen functions (worktop/cooker/worktop/sink sequence) before you make any commitments to the architect's proposal. Get into the whole detail of the plan now and avoid the headaches of having to alter designs as the work proceeds. There should be no charge from the architect for requesting this second stage work by the way. You should also insist on receiving an elevation and a section drawing at this stage together with a clear indication of how the extension will look when viewed from the garden and, most importantly what the architect thinks the whole of the work will cost and how long will it take. (If you have already received this information my apologies)

Something along these lines might just work, dependant on where you are in the world and what your local build codes apply - seek local knowledge before you order anything !

Help needed! Distance from doorway to kitchen island
Q

Hi Dominic, Although I would say it's not ideal to have a door opening onto the island, 1.4 is a good distance. It's nice to have an unbroken pathway from the door through if you can. Of course, this isn't always possible. How far are your units from the island? If you have draws they don't pull out as far as a cupboard door so you can look around 1-1.1m meters. This also makes it easier to turn without taking a step which is handy when taking things out the oven etc If you bring them a little closer, could the island finish in-line with the door so it's not opening onto the island ( without knowing the current distance... this might not be possible). Could you shift the opening a little closer to the bathroom door? Or what about having no door and just the opening?
