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 only had 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 instead.
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. I completely forgot about the fridge. It gets worse the longer you look.
Edit: Perhaps a taller shallower French door fridge could be used but would still kind of be impeding the walkway. A bar fridge could go where the dishwasher is but that’s very limiting when the other space is there.
