I'd center the sink in the bay window. When standing there, you'd feel less stuck in the corner. Remember that the DW has clear countertop above it and visually doesn't have the prominence of the sink.

There might be a bit of a problem doing so because there's a water outlet stuffed in the corner where the bay window goes which takes up space. But I've changed this with a deeper, 27" counter which might then make room to center it...

I made the upper a little deeper; don't know if that's a good idea...

Actually, that makes the corner over 3' from the right angle of the cabinets. And I bet that bay window just might get too deep to clean with 27" counters... so not sure how centered I can get the sink without deepening things too much...

Is there a reason you have 5 to 5 1/2 ft aisles around the island within the workspace? We have 4 ft aisles to the sides of our island in a very busy, multi-cook kitchen and I think they're plenty big. Any bigger seems to lose efficiency for me. We have 3 ft aisle between the island and rangetop which I like for an easy turn back and forth between stove and prep area.

Moving the sink to the right (centering it) allows you to have a lazy susan corner cabinet.

The wall uppers are drawn at 18" deep...Is that the plan or a mistake? I've had as deep as 15 1/2" without a problem but 18" seems like it might reduce the comfort while using the counters underneath.

I've had uppers over an island, and they kind of make the space seem more closed in and crowded. Do you need those?

Not sure I'd want the counter to drop off right behind/beside the cooktop area...I'd be pushing things off the edge.

Thanks rhome!

There's no reason the passageway is that size except ignorance; I really didn't know how much space to put. I noticed buehl had drawn 48" distances so I was using that as a guideline. I'm sure this is a known quantity, just not by me... thanks for the corrections.

Ditto on the depth of the uppers: I'm just ignorant! I will reduce their size. I hadn't thought about the ramifications for movement along the counters beneath. [this is how bad kitchens get built; someone mentioned that figure to me once so I went with it, but I dunno...].

I tried to lengthen the area to the right of the cooktop but perhaps it isn't enough still. With another mention of code not permitting windows anywhere close to the hood, I may have to bite the bullet and just lose that window behind the range. I'm guessing the hoods designed for walls are cheaper than island ones too, so that's another reason to align things as you have.

Unfortunately the wall the island is attached to must stay. And I sort of thought the wall would look cool there anyway. That was an old thought from long before recent iterations of this plan, but the necessity to keep the wall now remains regardless of desirability. I prefer not to even wonder if it's what I want; it's there, fbow.

I'll rework and report back. Thanks, rhome.

Oh, sorry! I was confused about the island...Didn't realize that was a wall. Duh.

If you lose the window by the range, and you like my layout, the range could move away from the dw more to the right.

See you that plan, and raise you this one! Believe it or not, its a version of yours.

Reminder not to have the glass fronts be so deep (more like 14-15" and less like 24") that you can't reach everything from both sides. Does the passthrough exist right now? Is that wall structural? Cause its very tempting to expand the passthrough area and make a feature out of a longer passthru with the top and sides lined with glass cabinets.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Hi bmorepanic -- that passthrough does exist right now and is currently longer than it shows on the plans. I guess all my plans posted so far don't show its current, large, random size. Which is .. 6'9" . I didn't show it but currently, the distance of the wall behind the fridge is 47.5" and the wall near the bay is 29", which from 13'1"leaves 6'9" (unless I've done something wrong).

I can draft that out with all youse-guy's ideas in mind but not for a couple hours. I'm kinda in trouble at work... (wonder why).
