6m extension , will my kitchen be too dark ?

Chandan

We are in the process of getting a 6m rear extension .


After a lot of iterations and late nights on getting the layout right, we feel that we might have just about got the layout the way we want.

A LAYOUT where :

1. Hallway entrance having a garden view

2. Entrance avoiding the view of the kitchen island

3. Also having the kitchen on the side so that there is a bit of privacy while cooking


Below is the layout which seems to be working for us . The extension will also be having a roof lantern of about 3m by 1 m wide right on top of the kitchen island. However now we are thinking will the kitchen get a bit too dark ?


Any thoughts about this ?

    I think the top of the Island will bounce light into the kitchen. Roof lights let in more light than normal windows so I’m sure it will be fine.
    You might consider moving the hall door closer to the front door and opening the study area upto the back room so that you benefit from the side window
