  The weird corner with the draws and the peninsula, why? Can you even open those draws fully?

    Maybe but you’d have to stand at a weird angle and lean or twist to use them. Stress position = injury waiting to happen

  This is a kitchen for ubereats and takeaway. God forbid that the kitchen should intrude on the really important rooms. It’s been tucked into the leftover space on the floor plan. The door next to the stove - is that to a cupboard or an exit? Because if it’s an exit then this is a passage with a stove in it. The drawers MIGHT be on swivels so they open sideways, but I doubt it. If this were mine, I’d take an axe to the peninsula thingie and replace it with a moveable island. Then it’s more workable if not exactly good.

    I once had a kitchenette that was only a few square feet of floor space and not enough room for a fridge… it was still more usable than this. It’s terrible planning.

    They absolutely should have used an island or even just left the peninsula out. There’s even an area at the side where a small table or sideboard could have been used for extra bench space.

      I think that space is where the fridge is supposed to go. Judging by the placing of the power point at eye level to the left of the shelving. And that’s a crappy place to put the fridge too as opening the door is going to impact on the peninsula. I only hope that the view provided has been snapped with a fish eye lens and the angles are not quite as bad as they look.

        You’re right. It gets worse the longer you look.

  screams in trying to open drawers also does the dishwasher door open to where the pantry door also opens? I can’t tell what that door is. It’s the “I don’t care because I’m not going to live here” kitchen.

    OMG. If that’s a walk in pantry you could purposely trap someone in there by opening the dishwasher. 😂

  Those drawers will be a tight squeeze.

  I have so many questions.

  One qualm I have is the amount of houses I’ve seen with 3+ bedrooms and only one bathroom.

  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Three bedrooms one bathroom is what I am looking at. It’s just for me so I don’t need or want another bathroom. But if you go down to two bedrooms you rarely get a full kitchen which I want (and modern places often have pretty tiny kitchens too).

    I have found quite a few in the area I’m looking at have seperate rooms for bath, shower and toilet so more people can be using things at the same time. I don’t think more than one bathroom became common until the mid to late 80s.

    this used to be normal in the 60s and 70s

  Terrible. Who the fuck designed that?

  They should have just gone with a portable kitchen island on wheels, so it could be moved into that empty side area when not in use.

  Maybe it would stick out into the walkway a little but that weird angled monstrosity there impedes access to part of the kitchen and would constantly take a chunk out of your hip.
