why can it only fit into the alcove?

why not extend it on the opposite wall and into the dining and living area?

Or the closet?

Thanks @Lyn Nielson, thought of putting it on the opposite wall but im worries taht it will block off the passage way into the living area

Thanks @mdln but thought that 3.22 meters for a kitchen is quite small

What does the entire floor the Kitchen is on look like? You aren't providing very much information and give advice in a near-vacuum is usually counter-productive.

See the Featured Answer in the "New to Kitchens? Read Me First!" thread.

Without all the details of the space, I assume those are closets just past the kitchen. So I expanded kitchen into one of the closet spaces. You'll want to provide much more space detail to get pro folks engaged to give professional help.

3.22 meters = 10' 6" = 126"
126" - 30" (stove)
= 96" - 33" (fridge)
= 63" - 24" (dishwasher)
= 39" cabinet with sink

The alcove seems a nice place to put dining area. If you love to cook, why not have your kitchen take up more space than just the alcove?

I've seen a fantastic layout on Architectural Digest for a home with a very similar layout and size - maybe it was in France?

Thank you all. @Lyn Nielson @Buehl @bearbev I’ve attached the proposed plan of the entire apartment. What you are refering to as the pantry is actually the shaft so ideally the sink will bs pn the wall that faces out to the shaft. Since I love to spend time in the kitchen I’m not very keen with the proposed idea as the kitchen will be very small. what we were thinking of doing is maybe an L-shaped kitchen in the alcove or the kitchen will continue out of the alcove and into the bigger space for more storage space in that area. Hope im expaling myself a bit better.

You're in another part of our planet, on a USA site. If you truly want help, post the ENTIRE third floor as a jpeg, not a screen shot, and convert all the dimensions to feet/inches. Are we lazy, ? Our brains are wired to feet inches, and nobody can spread a screen shot on their computer: )

A little over 10' but I assume this is an aprtment so plumbing is going to drive all issues. Since you are in Europe I am guessing there are many tiny kitchens that I have been in all one wall space . Is the plumbing there to access is a kitcehn allowed . To much missing info to really help.This is one in Hong Kong

At first I thought this was a unit in the iconic Marina City towers in Chicago. Similar limitations of size and layout, and kitchen remodels have mostly consisted of removing a wall to open up to the living room, and a peninsula in the wall’s place.

Here is an example. This is a studio, hence the bed where one would otherwise have living or dining furniture.

Since it was built in the 1960s, there isn’t much they can do with plumbing.

Do you have any options? Is this new construction? What if the alcove were used as a dining space, and the kitchen placed on the opposite flat wall, with an L-shape to slightly separate the living space?

You will get so much more help if you convert metric to inches.

- Can you move the plumbing in this apartment?

- Is that a fireplace in the living area and can it be removed?

- How many people live here? Will you want to watch TV in the living area?

If the measurements work and you can move plumbing, this layout below would get you a larger kitchen connected to the eating area, where you can have a good view of outside. (If that is desired.) The table close to the kitchen wall give you more surface space while cooking. Comfortable chairs or banquette or bench at the table will make this more of a hang out area. The seating area close to the bottle neck is smaller, but might feel cozy. If you intend to spend more time on the sofa at night, then it might be more appropriate to have it away from the balcony anyway. This layout assumes you want to spend more time hanging out in the kitchen and table area than on a sofa.

I think there is not much hope to move plumbing for sure and any plan to bump out the kitchen into that walkway IMO would be horrible

Could something like this work for the kitchen layout?

Has this apartment block in Malta already been built or is it in the planning stages?

Edited to add: I removed my comment on six bedrooms.

Three bedrooms. The image shows two separate apartments. I picture one bedroom, with the angled wall, being used as a sitting room, study, or guests.

@bpath, thank you. I will edit my comment.

Can you see other units in the building to see how others have designed the kitchen?

Plumbing and venting constraints will be driving this bus.

I see that they show an eat-at island and no dining table. That may be the way to go, and/or keep a folding table if you have company. I don't see any way to get more cooking space than by having an island and compressing any other eating space.

Both plans show a round dining table with (unrealistic?) seating for 8 in the open concept/ great room area.
