#1 - I like that it’s not as visually busy as #2.

Whoops, sorry posted twice. Not sure how to delete this one. Newbie here ;)

What kind of kitchen designer would create either design? One who wants to burn down your house, or injure you?

Both are terrible!

You cannot put a stove in front of a window and you must have a minimum distance from range to side wall. (And some elbow space between range and wall is much more convenient to work at.)

@Jes Dubin - how are you OK with the cooktop next to the oven wall? That is a fire hazard and against building code. What about a hood exhaust for the cooktop?

Appreciate the comments! Definitely given me what to think about.

These were designed by the kitchen shop. Could it be there are different codes in different countries?

I actually prefer the second design, with sinks separated, If we remove the pantry and include a peninsula instead, is it still a terrible design?

It’s all equally terrible. Fire safety doesn’t have a country.

I hear.

It will be an electric stove, not gas, in case that changes anything.

TY for all the responses!

The problem is the two sinks. Just like some kitchens cannot accommodate an island, two sinks are not appropriate in all kitchens. If what you’ve shown us is your entire kitchen, ditch the second sink. That will give you the flexibilty to move the range to a safer, more appropriate location. It will also increase your counter space.

Change the wide pantry to one the size of the smaller one in the second image. Slide ovens over to that location. Add a cabinet the width of the decrease in cabinet width. (At least 12”). It would be nice to be able to move the stove out of it’s corner some.

Or in the second image on the range wall, swap the range and sink and change the pantry to a base cabinet and wall cabinet.

@darbuka - please see the OP which explained that two sinks are necessary due to religious reasons.

@Shannon_WI…thanks, I did miss that esssential piece of information.
