I think a comfortable distance between the island and the counter is around 42". It seems that you have only 30" between your cook top and the counter. I might be a little too tight. The wall between the entrance and the kitchen could be 4' long instead of 6', you would then be able to move the island a foot which would give you more room between the cook top and the island. Could you switch the location of the toilet and vanity in your dad's bathroom so your enter facing a vanity instead of a toilet which is a lot nicer.

I had purchased hafele hob 10 months back... I got it serviced 6 times... Now i requested for replacement with new one... Still they have not attended my request...

I provide services in Pune. My design revolves primarily around using existing Climatological elements for creating desired moods as per the spaces. I prefer using functional and structural elements for creating a great visual appeal, rather than using dedicated cosmetic elements. If you looking for professional services, you will need to provide me: the coordinates of the house Position of North of the house with respect to site (plot drawing will do) Budget you are aiming at
