Please see the attached layout. They highlighted green area will be my space. I have 20 people staff. 10 for the sales and marketing and 10 for the projects. Need seperate space for both teams. Need one master cabin and a conference room (small 4-5 sitter with one center table). Need a pantry for keeping drinking water cooler, small fridge and oven etc. Client will time to time visit but not very regularly. I am running a drawings and drafting company. Hope this will help.

Hi Ni, I just thought of something....did you say you planned to do the stencil motifs on the window wall? If so, I am thinking they will be mostly hidden by the curtains. I wonder if it might be better to stencil the long wall that is on the right side of the room when looking toward the window. I could see this being a pretty backdrop to the prayer box (I think that’s what you called it?) and your wood cuttings. Then maybe the opposite wall (the one with the kitchen doorway) could hold a large piece of art?

The places I'd actually put a fridge: 1) The main one in the kitchen for everyday use. 2) a spare in the basement near the TV room for snacks & drinks when people come over to watch a game or teens are hanging out. Also used as extra storage when buying things in bulk or when preparing Thanksgiving dinner. 3) possibly a spare in the garage for drinks when I'm working outside and don't want to track dirt/grass into the house from the garden. 4) a small one in the dorm room at boarding school or college.

Usually when you get side panels you automatically have space on the sides. If you have a full depth cabinet on the top, you automatically have space at the top and in most cases you will have leave at least 1 inch of extra room for the back of the refrigerator, so there is always air circulation since everything is enclosed. In the 70's they use to make a small recessed space behind like Fred said, today you don't have to do that, most Ref have flat backs, recessed wiring, not to mention the supply for ice-maker also comes in a flush mounting kits for the wall... so pretty much everything is recessed and only space you need is for air circulation and 1" is more then enough. In addition, if you make recessed area now and you push ref to far you will never get your doors open so doing all that is a waste of time, in addition most manufacturers starting to make 30" side panels.
