Ok, In building our house I’m just having a nightmare of design after another. I very niavely thought that people do these things for you, they design your floor plan, design your kitchen, you know you go to a kitchen display store and choose one according to your room shape. And I guess you probably could, but we dont have the money for designers, and the main reason I need this design asap is the electrician needs to know the placement of sockets, which obviously I need the design of the kitchen first to know.
Now, we have an L-shaped kitchen space which is open plan with the living room, but I am going to turn it into a U-shaped kitchen by putting in a pennisula countertop that will sort of separate the two rooms. But I think that you really cant put anything on that pennisula like the fridge, stove top or sink because I think its just wierd because that pennisula is open to the living room. I thought cooking or washing dishes as you look into the living room? wierd, and the fridge would block the space and really seperate the space, so that’s why its really only a L-shaped kitchen with an extra countertop surface.
Now, on the top wall is window which I would assume you’d put a sink right? Normally in all kitchens the sink is under the window. I am just stumped for design really, because I want a separate stove top and then a wall oven cabinet unit, and I would also love a floor to ceiling pantry cupboard. I designed one exactly to this effect, but it meant that the sink and the stove top would only be about 60cm apart along the same wall. and on the right hand wall would go all the tall things, corner tall pantry cupboard, wall oven unit, fridge.
I am just so stumped for ideas. Is that idea really bad, can anyone give me some advice or websites or something. The top wall with window is 4.2m and the right hand wall is only 2.5m due to a door. And I wanted a double sink with a recess.

Thanks for any help or advice!
