Advice on layout for a u-shaped kitchen?

2 years ago

We are redoing our kitchen after a house fire. See attached previous photos that included a pass-through window above the kitchen sink, and tons of cabinet space. We added 2 beams in open it up more, but couldn’t completely remove the back wall since it supports the roof structure. See photos of the current view.

We have to keep the sink where it is because plumbing is in the slab. We want to still have a lot of cabinet and countertop space and a pantry. See our draft mockup of the kitchen layout with dimensions. We’re looking at removing the pass-through window and making a corner into a small reach-in pantry. Thoughts on layout? It’s a difficult kitchen to layout since the ceiling’s different heights and there’s not a window directly in it.

Post the whole floor in scale using graph paper. Include windows and doors with lots of measurements. More pics of the current space from different angles would help.

Can you combine this somehow with your previous post on layout?

In order to get the proper advice here, a floor plan of the entire space - Living, Dining, Kitchen with placement of windows and entries would be necessary.

Looks like the only structural is a column support at the kitchen/dining. I hope you have a architect/structural engineer who is properly submitting plans for building permits.

The kitchen should have an outside window/access and at this juncture and enormity of your project, moving a sink in a slab is not an issue.

There is no reason why you are not able to design a perfect kitchen.

The first rule of Kitchen Design Club is don’t do a U shaped kitchen and then complain how cut off you feel with only 1 way in or out.
