We are in early stages of plan for our custom home.
I had always wanted a WIP but with our plan the way it is, that may be a compromise area.
It would exceed budget.
Would you build without it?
For context the house is 3BED, 219sqm. So not ridiculously large but space where we need it.
Heart of the home and all of that.
The kitchen is quite large, 4.2 x 5.8 with two wall facing benches so I think there is room for a large
full heigh, double or triple (?) width cabinetry for a pantry instea, perhaps with a small step in if it is deep enough.
Here is our concept of that area.
The solid wall immediately behind the kitchen is the front of the house essentially. The stairs go down to the garage (probably put a dwarf wall here instead of railing). In the hallway beside (not shown) there are stairs to an upstairs area (living room). So we can't really go into that space.
My thought is to put the sink on the left bench, stove on rear benchtop in middle, cabinets beside.
Fridge.. maybe they thought off to the right side tucked away a bit.
