My apartment is extremely compact. i hope to have an open concept kitchen without much hacking to existing water piping to reduce renovation cost. Yet i prefer to create space by hacking the kitchen floor. i bake alot and plan to have a tall cabinet for the oven but advice even so far was to have the oven below the hob. Please help with designing an open concept kitchen with a suggestion of where to put the oven. sink and hob too. i am perfectly fine without the hood. thanks alot.

I vote number 4. For me the first floor infill is much stronger. Personally I would like to see this idea with a dropped roof over the garage with a dormer. I would rather see one window over the garage.... for me two windows over a double garage door looks like a face.

Couldn’t you squeeze a compact armchair on the left of the radiator? A little table, a light, a plant and it could be your special place to seat in with a cup of coffee? It would be tricky to rethink the space now if the builders have started !! Ps: I love well thought special little corners in home, totally bespoke to your personal needs...
