Hi guys, Redoing my bathroom and the old alcove tub was a 30x60. The wall on one end of the tub extended about two inches past, so the max space I have in the alcove is 60x32. Is this enough space to do a drop in tub with the integrated tile flange? I wasn’t sure if I needed some breathing room to build a frame for it... I was thinking drop in just cause I wanted to get fancy and tile the front of it. Thanks!

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.

Nope. You need 36”, or people can’t pull the chair out and actually sit and not hit the wall.

@Jennifer K @mama goose_gw zn6OH @Design Girl Here are the updated plans that we are close to locking in. What do you think? The fridge is far, but I am not sure what a better solution would be. We don't want to cut into the size of the butlers pantry. The large window looks out into our driveway towards our neighbor's house (into their kitchen). It is not the best view for privacy so have some regret about not putting the range on that wall with the sink against a wall (or island but not a fan) The island is 86x53."5 - Will I have any issues with a Marble slab?
