Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley 14Apr 03, 2013 11:27 pm This plan works. It's a simple design that you can't go wrong with. Good idea to extend the garage. The only thing is wherever you have walk in rooms, the walk in area is wasted space. Sure the WIR should be doored off but is there a way to make the WIL along a wall, maybe in the laundry so the access area to the linen shelves is used an another way as well? Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley 15Apr 05, 2013 1:56 pm fmac Love the plan!! Have you considered a sliding door to the WIR? Also have you considered the location of the sink on the island? We made our island bench 1m wide. Particularly if it's long you want the width to not be disproportionate to the length. Waterfall edges look great! Wish we'd asked about the cost.... Maybe next time I've had bad experiences with rattling sliding doors in the past - almost drove me insane! But they do save space, which is always a good thing. I think a 1m wide island bench might be a sensible compromise. With the sink smack-bang in the centre? I just assumed that would be where it was located, especially if we upgrade to an undermount bowl.

The linen cupboard was in the laundry, but that meant no bench space or cupboards at all which I wasn't really happy about. The result was to convert the web hub in to a WIL, which is far more useful to us. You're right about the wasted space, but I can't really see another way around it. It might just have to be one those 'compromises' people keep talking about!

Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley 17Apr 05, 2013 5:49 pm We've actually out our sink to one end of the island, about 50cm from one end so you can still put dishes next to it as required. Then you get a nice large section of bench space on the other side of it. I have noticed builders tend to centre everything in the kitchen but it often leaves not very much usable bench space. I see the island as the main food prep area so have the sink to one side and I think we end up with about 1.5m of uninterrupted bench space. But it does depend how you use you kitchen Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley 18Apr 05, 2013 6:57 pm fmac We've actually out our sink to one end of the island, about 50cm from one end so you can still put dishes next to it as required.

Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley 19Apr 05, 2013 7:46 pm That's what we did a well with the sink. When it was centered there was little space for a breakfast area for the kids. Now with the sink to one side there is adequate open space. Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley 20Apr 05, 2013 8:17 pm It is personal preferance but something to consider. We have the set of draws before the sink, then the sink then dishwasher recess and 750 wide pot draws. I have wondered if we should have just had it right on the edge but we thought it might make doing any pot washing etc difficult. But we won't know if it was the right decision of about 6 months We also have our oven/cooktop off centre so we have a long section of bench to one side. Hopefully it will lead to a kitchen that is practical to use. I think if I had my time over I would have two 600 ovens in a tower rather then the 900 oven. But can never be 100% perfect So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
