Looking for design feedback on a few points below, and any other improvement opportunities.
- Putting a wall of windows above the sink with no uppers - I think we'll use the island for cups & plates, and there seems to be plenty of other storage.
- Location of refrigerator - I know this is not functionally ideal, but we have a pretty firm requirement that there will be no sink or cooktop in the island. So I think that leaves only that location for the fridge.
- My wife would like one of those 2-drawer Fisher Paykel drawer dishwashers + a standard dishwasher. Should the drawers be in the DW1 spot? Or DW2?
- Trash to right of sink vs. in island behind the sink?
- Stainless or paneled refrigerator? We have 8ft ceilings and I don't want the 48" refrigerator/columns to look too big. My gut says paneled. Two different renderings below. Thinking either 30+18in columns, or the 48" SZ french door.
- Induction cooktop vs. induction range - leaning cooktop + double ovens.
- Double ovens with microwave above vs. microwave drawer somewhere in the island. The microwave on the stack will be at about 5'. Not a problem for my wife or I to reach.
- 2'6" from the cooktop to the ovens stack. I thought a little closer would be nice, but seems like the best way to design the wall is to push those to the end.
