Design the kitchen before fixing every opening
A door in the wrong place can remove a run of units. A rooflight can clash with tall cabinets or extraction. Put the kitchen layout over the architectural plan early.
Drainage affects islands and sinks
Moving a sink across the room may require a long waste run with adequate fall. Islands with sinks or dishwashers can need drainage cast into or routed below the floor.
Large openings change heating and acoustics
An open kitchen, dining and living room may be attractive on plan but needs thought about heating zones, noise and where people actually sit. Keeping a short wall or separate utility room can help.
