Is there a unit below you? They may object to plans that involve removing their ceiling and changing piping. You will have to check with building whether a vented hood is possible.

Valuable goals: stackable washerdryer and better use of desk niche in that area. Interior decorator to assist with potential wonderful view thru: from dining spot /archway/kitchen wall. some architectural details present but no color pattern texture in your space there. GET DECORATOR HELP. Lay off the kitchen.

Congrats on your new place. You might also get some space back in the laundry area by upgrading to a tankless water heater (if it's supported in your condo). It would be great to be able to fit a pantry in somewhere.

JuneKnow: I really dislike the layout of the island and the color and style of cabinets doesn’t fit my style so definitely replacing them.

Seabornman: yes, there is a unit below me, and thank you, that’s good to know!

Cal: thank you! That is what in my mind too! Should I remove the built in desk and turn it into a pantry?

herbflavor: yeah, I will definitely repaint the wall and doors after everything is done.

Guys: should I turn the built in desks into cabinets so that I could fit a wall oven into it? Will it look weird? Or should I make it to be a pantry?

If you remove that half wall and the desk, looks like you'll have tons of room for both a pantry and your stacked ovens. Depends on your appliance needs, but I'd go with a 30" counter depth fridge and then that entire wall could be uniform with everything hidden behind floor/ceiling doors. Other thing is you have great ceiling height and there is all that wasted space above your upper cabinets, so might want to consider cabinets that continue up towards the ceiling.

Make sure you understand the rules for your condo building for modifications before you go too far down the planning route. Good luck.

As Maggie mentioned, check the rules and logistics for your building. I've read a couple of posts on here by people who found out -- at the point of delivery -- that their counter(s) didn't fit in the elevator.

I did a knock down and kitchen reno in a condo 3 years ago, and my first piece of advice is to know what your condo rules are for renovations and discuss them with any contractors you talk to (or have your designer factor that in). Some of the things that will affect the timeline (and cost) might include things like limits on the times of day that work can be done, elevator use restrictions, trash removal rules, and possible Covid ID requirements. You might need to give plans to the condo management ahead of time, and provide copies of the licenses of your tradespeople. They can't prevent you from making changes to the property you own (the inside of your unit), but they can put limits on the parts of the job that will affect the building as a whole.
