Scaled floor plan would be the best without knowing the dimensions and plan layout almost impossible for anyone to offer much in the way of advice.

Post the full and FLAT floor plan of the 1/4 inch to a fut house plan and who designed the plans you are showing for the kitchen ?

How much is built? You may have a great view, but there is too much window in the kitchen given the wish list and your constraints.

Lose the cook top for a range with oven.

Reduce the peninsula length by a foot, and change the pecking order on wall left of windows to: ( left to right ) :

Pantry at full depth of fridge, then fridge, then cabinet for microwave/ 24 inches, (built in cabinetry, storage above and below.........nearest the sink )

Otherwise ? You either close up the kitchen by a lot, or LOSE the right hand window.......and fridge and pantry would go to back wall at powder room entrance.

These have been done by the kitchen provider. and i feel they just want to secure a contract rather than providing proper advice.

They show 40" (1034mm) dedicated space for the fridge. if there is a column to the right which cannot be moved and there is no other place to put the ref of the size you want, in that case, choose a smaller ref or push the left side of the kitchen enough to fit a ref in its desired location.

Move the door. Galley kitchen. No peninsula. Going with a galley, you will gain a long wall to locate the refrigerator & wall ovens. And eliminate two dead corners.

Where do you live that does not have counter depth fridges? And as mentioned poor design that needs to be fixed with choices that work in the space..

If it's just the bulk of the standard depth fridge protruding past the other cabinets that's bothering you, pull the base cabinets out a few inches and make sure the fridge enclosure covers the sides. You can use a couple of inches between the base cabinet beside the cooktop and the door trim, and make the base cabinet narrower. There will be a void behind the cabinets on the long wall, but the advantage is deeper counters on that wall. I like the option with the chimney hood.

That’s a terrible location for a fridge. The kitchen needs to be redesigned.

Ground floor plan

Wow! I can't answer your kitchen question, I just want to say what a beautiful country you have - it truly looks like paradise!

The refrigerator does seem bulky. Maybe you can add wall cabinets next to the oven tower above the peninsula. Or you could move the fridge to the back wall in place of the cooktop and move cooktop to the peninsula. If you could give up the window next to the rear wall or move both windows toward the dining room you would have many more options.

Is a paneled fridge an option? They’re quite a bit more expensive, but would provide a clean, flush look.

Your space is small. I would eliminate the peninsula and turn it into a wall and put the fridge and ovens there. I’d put the sink on back wall and cooktop where it is now. This would give you a u shaped kitchen layout

Hi Jan Moyer

i had no say in how this house was built. So right now I can‘t go back. I only need solutions to make this space work. thank you for all your ideas

I’m not a pro and you’ve been given some good pro info already. My only thought is to move the fridge to the back wall and move the oven to the window wall. It might open up the view from the dining room better as you’d see just backsplash and windows on that wall, not sides of bulky cabinets. Just a thought.

Jan and I are on the same page as to use of the space.

You don't have room for seating at a peninsula and seating at a dining table.

Hi rocketjcat

this was what i wanted initially but i would have no space for the pull out and over tower.

i like the idea of keith above. Would it help if we switch the window to the left ? this will cost us a lot though

You don't have to re build it. You need a wall. Ditch the peninsula seating, or totally re think your appliances, and that means ONE oven ( a full range ) ........and other adjustments too.

Moving the cook top to the peninsula will mean LOSE the seating at the peninsula. Not safe.

Losing the entire peninsula for full wall to enclose the offending post, would give you a workable kitchen, ,more storage. You can't put a hundred lbs of poo in a fifty pound bag. Not successfully.

Agree with Jan. A U shaped kitchen would be so much more functional

In addition to all the great help above, ditch the wall oven. Install a cooktop and place the wall oven under it. Microwave can be installed at height of uppers.

I would never put the oven and refrigerator next to each other.

Put need before "want" and choose a drop in or free standing stove that includes an oven and add a microwave hood, thus enabling you to use the space intended for the tower with ovens for your refrigerator.

IF, however, you have room to extend your garage forward, you could do that and add in what is now the back of the garage either

... a pantry with refrigerator space adjacent to the house or, better yet,

... a mud room with washer and dryer and powder room ( that is actually large enough to include a vanity/sink), enabling you to use your washer/dryer and powder room space as pantry and refrigerator space.

What are your thoughts on this ?

it’s a rough idea of what it would look like if we switch the window.

do you think it would be better to have the stove on the peninsula? what are the pros and cons?

We dont want to add a wall. we want an open space

Haven't read all suggestions but I am thinking if you put your cook top where the refrigerator is now and move the refrigerator to the end wall where the cook top is now, everything will fit and you can open your refrigerator doors nicely. might even have enough room for a small lower cabinet between the end of the cabinet and the refrigerator.

HOW MUCH and WHAT are you willing to change? That's the real information we need right now. You're dismissing everyone's ideas, so what are you willing to do?

Can you re-work the entire Kitchen? Only part of it & if so, what part?

.

I have a question for you...please do not take offense as it's meant to gather more information, not pass judgement.

What is more important to you...looks or function? Some people are more concerned about how their Kitchens look than they are about how functional / useful they are. Generally, these people are people who do little, if any, cooking and just want a "show" Kitchen, but not always. There's no right or wrong answer other than what's right for YOU and your family.

Most of us on the Kitchens Forum are function-first. It's easy to make a functional Kitchen look nice. However, it's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to may a nice-looking but dysfunctional Kitchen functional without ripping it out and starting over. This means that our comments are coming from the functional side, knowing that when you have a functional layout, it can be made to look nice.

So, what are your answers?

1. Are you function-first or looks-first regardless of function?
2. What can change? Can the entire Kitchen be re-worked?
3. How much are you wiling to change (related to the previous question)?

"We want an open space" I want a MERCEDES??! You have to live within the walls you select to have. No double ovens, get a range.......Lose one half of that window, and your issues will be reduced. By a lot.

Where do you leave?

I am asking because of your "counterdepth" comment.

I have a small kitchen and I have a peninsula, but I have a range, a smaller fridge and countertop MW. Sometimes, you have to choose.

switch the stove and fridge in first pics you showed.. you would have landing space on either side and could vent out of the house
You could just put in regular range and would have all that counter on either side of the range

Your dining table is right there so you really don't need the seating on the peninsula. It will still not be an open kitchen because of the stairway wall. It is only open to the dining room.

Are you saying that if you stand in your kitchen that you will see people walking down your stairs. No wall? If no wall, you don't have room for a large window and no room for a wall oven. You essentially have a kitchen on one wall only. If you put a cooktop on the peninsula, you CANNOT have seating there, plus you need a vent hood above it. I don't know if you will have an electric or a gas cooktop. You could install a downdraft vent which are expensive, but it depends on your cooktop. I guess they still make them.

If you do have a wall and can't see people walking down the stairs, put cabinets on the wall by the stairs. I don't know if a concrete home means just the exterior walls are concrete or if all interior walls are concrete too. Maybe you could extend the wall and put cabinets closer to the dining room so you don't run into cabinets when exiting the laundry room. You may have to move the laundry room door and make it a pocket door (unless it is a concrete wall). Then the refrigerator could go on the stair wall along with a few cabinets. That way, you could still have your wall ovens.

You said you do not have counter depth refrigerators in your country. Maybe they are called something else? Call around and ask for a refrigerator that is 24" or 25" deep. That is too bad because you would like a counter depth refrigerator. It is not as deep as a regular refrigerator, but it is wider. It is so much easier to find food. Nothing gets lost. Are you trying to keep and use a refrigerator you already have? This home is newly built?

Exactly what has been done in your kitchen already? Water lines for the sink? Wiring for the wall ovens? Wiring for the stovetop? Water lines for the ice maker in refrigerator? There is no point in offering advice if it is too late to make changes.

The plan shows an architect that knows nothing about actually cooking in a kitchen. Sad that some bad plans are out there when there are so many goods ones.
