Why wouldn't your electrical panel be flush with the wall like any other one?

a utility panel at the end of the kitchen ... I would guess it’s a 12 inch block that sticks out that can’t be moved.

Your pictures don't seem to show this "utility panel".

What is it for, and what does it look like?

How do you define "utility panel"? Please provide pictures that identify it.

I need more info and this is a new build why can’t you find out what that is and have it changed.

It’s a semi custom home sorry not a complete new built. Right next to the closet is a blocked off area (the black block in the schematic picture) that has a structural support beam and other electrical stuff I don’t know just know we can’t touch it.

I’m just want to confirm a closet that’s flush with that unmovable part will look less conspicuous than a closet that’s the same depth as the counters? I wanted to give alittle but more room to the stools around the island but 6 inches might not be worth it to mess around the current lay out with? Does it look strange if the depth of the closet is different than the depth of the wall structure next to it (again structural support and stuff I can’t touch per builder)

The closet you're talking about is that the pantry on the plan? Also on the plan everything looks flush to counter depth, so not sure what you mean with cutting anything down. It looks like in the picture you show that someone extended it out and that is not what the plan shows.

The plan is deceptive ... wish it was more accurate ... but the closet juts out right now ... so the model home shows you how you would get it and I think I would prefer it to not be extended out but I would still have the structural beam block sticking out ... would that look okay? The closet receded but a

Column sticking out and acting as a divider / end of the kitchen or will it look awkward to push back the closet and still have a foot wide divider after it

Here’s another view so you have a foot wide structural support beam and to make it less awkward builder but a closet next to it - I’m debating pushing the closet back by 6 inches or so and having it act as a bookend to a long counter (moving the fridge to the end) so hard to decide if it’s worth the work order

I'm not sure I'm understanding correctly, but if the structural beam would be sticking out, what do you gain by further recessing the closet? A tiny bit of floor space and a loss of storage space in the closet? That doesn't seem worthwhile.

It seems you want to be able to extend island space, and you believe that gaining 6 inches of depth will help. How wide is the area where you think you can gain an additional 6 inches of depth? Have you confirmed that you can structurally alter that closet frame to do the 6 inch move?

The pantry/closet should be flush with the column area or it will look odd. I wonder why they need it to stick out and can't match the plan. As that also look a bit off. I also hope the layout of the kitchen will match the plan and not the model.

Thank you for the feedback I think sometimes ideas need to be talked out and crossed off. I’ll be leaving that closet alone :)
