3DA Design, thanks n will find it out. By the way, may I ask with my floor tiles and my dining set ( the dining chairs which is in the picture is my current dining set, (in my current house ) but I am going to find a new dining chairs to something more simple n lower back design) for my new house.

Thank you once again.

May I know what colour / design of the Solid Surface or cosentino silestone will match my floor tiles n table?

Glad you like Houzz.au. Increase island to 900 which is more comfortable for stools under the 300 overhang, reducing the 1200 distance to 1100. Any wider depends on table width as you would need space from that side. No need for wall If you change the entry to the bedroom to adjacent toilet as per okl design.

Hi Oklouise, thanks for your reply .

Yes, my laundry space with washing machine/ sink I am planing to do it in the wet kitchen area. But haven’t got the idea how to do design it.

For the store room door It’s a standard built by the housing developer. But I can change it as what you have suggested.

Enclosed with the pictures the object behind the X. Appreciate if you can give me some design ideas as well.

is the house already built or is this a house you want to build? and what would you put in the storeroom for your family??

It’s already built

My store room will put things like ladder,Christmas tree, golf set and some household detergents

Hi Kate,I am grateful of your suggestion! Thank you.

Serene. I think better call them to arrange visit to their showroom. Products vary on different countries.

I am not a big fan of floor tiles. I think tiles only belong in the bathrooms.
I prefer timber flooring or polished concrete. But I think its not the normal choice over there.

That door to wet kitchen and storeroom. I suggest doing it like this.
Its a currect project we are working on, and door to the toilet and laundry room are hidden and made to look like a cabinet door. I circled in blue.

Hi 3DA Design, thanks for your reply. Your design is amazing! I would really appreciate if you can help me to draw a layout plan for the kitchen and dining room. Please...

Hi Serene, are you able to post your floorplan with readable dimensions, can't see them, 3DA can you show them .

Serene. do you have more photos of the house? Especially from kitchen showing the door to store room and the doors to the Bath and Bedroom

Sorry for the late reply. Enclosed with more pictures and dimensions.

Due to some construction issues. The only door I can able to change is the store room’s room.

For kitchen I won’t be able to change the floor tiles ( because the cost of too expensive) but I can change the wall tiles.

For plaster ceiling the original design is just plain and the height of the ceiling is 11’8.
What is the best height and design should I go for?

I really appreciate your precious time and your help. Thank you.

The kit

Here are more photos

An additional photo from outside

Hi Siriuskey and 3DA Design,

Good day!

I am sorry I don’t have the proper floor plan so i draw it myself, I hope you guys understand the pictures.
The dimensions are all in ‘feet’

please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you very much!

wk is where yard is and store is utility?

I cant draw in imperial. maybe I just sketch

Hi 3DA Design, thanks for your reply.
WK (butler kitchen) is behind the X window ( back yard )
I am very glad if you can spare some time and sketch for me ! Thank you so much! Let me know if you need more information. Thank you!

Question, how thick is that wall you put X mark on the window?

Hi it’s about 4 inches. Thank you .

here is my sketch

1. Fridge is best on the outskirt, its not just for cooking, but also for everyone to get drinks, snacks, chocolates, treats etc.

the less they need to go deep into kitchen, the better.

I flipped door to store room so all cabinets can stay together

2. L shaped benchtop in 'dry kitchen' stops at the fake wall just before the door to 'wet kitchen'

3. All the light blue (its more green btw) lines are tall cabinets, one of them is a hidden door to 'wet kitchen'

4. I don't want that window to be of a waste, I think its better to have a hidden sliding splashback acting as pass-thru for dirty dish or cooked food.

5. on kitchen island, put as wide as possible, 1100 if you can, 900 as minimum, put induction cooktop for light cooking only, because it will have no splashback, this is for a 'show kitchen' and 'breakfast light cooking only'

think pancakes, scrambled eggs, all light.... advantage of this style of cooking is that you are facing the family. Conversation active and they watch you cook, you watch them.

Put kitchen stools on the other side, as you cook, you pass to them.

6. add rangehood.... this can blow your budget

be careful looking at below, I recommend sitting down first. there are 3 types available for islands

- recirculating rangehood, meaning they will just disperse it to your room, not ducting it outside

https://www.powerland.com.au/elica-51cm-black-island-rangehood-wavebl-f-51?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CjwKCAiAvonyBRB7EiwAadauqelxIPAqb9oejsArcFupPBpoXEak6mJfVsKGe5feIAaspfkEubvb9hoC1UwQAvD_BwE

- ducted to outside

- downdraft, to suck it to under the bench

because your house is already built, no way to put pipes underneath, so no to these, unless you want to just recirculate it under the bench (its okay to do so too)

this actually acts like a temporary splashbacks. I have one, really impressive, but not for heavy cooking or boiling large pot of water

https://siriusbrand.com/product/sdd2emtc-580-wh-58cm-proud-mount-downdraft-white-glass-finish-brand-new/?gclid=CjwKCAiAvonyBRB7EiwAadauqfmIm4BjV3T7IE4ozICALQupYTY0ewyj0ehMd3_Tyllk_KgVCp0Q1RoCCw0QAvD_BwE

7. inside wet kitchen.

I suggest a U shaped, with a narrow 300-450 bench at the pass thru, just an extra bench to hold plates. I suggest having same colour benchtop as the 'dry kitchen'

Sink is next, same side as 'dry kitchen' sink. with dishwasher under (hopefully there is space)

Stove facing outside wall, easier to 'duct' the exhaust.

8. This is just idea, that big window on dining area, put a black frame around it, so the frames 'pops up'

over to you Siri :)

Thanks 3D I might be standing on my head again but this how I see it the "wall" can be up to the ceiling or not, the wet outdoor kitchen for wok cooking and prep,

Suggest to flip that plan left to right to match the house Serene bought.

Hi Thousands thanks for your efforts! I do really appreciate you all!

May I know the distance that I draw in the yellow lines?

I am sorry if I confused you. because I’m the floor plan there is show a door logo but actual house there no door that’s ( green star)

These are the measurements. Thank you.

I think this will be a clearer picture for my exact house plan

Am I getting closer 3D, going back to the start this plan has been posted both ways, so I have reversed it?

Serene, I understand that there is no door there.

Siri, looks doable but very small galley now and she got that pocket with tiled splashback unused.

Serene, thx for that measurements. I think my sketch will definitely work. Assuming the w/k is about 3.352 x 2.5-2.6m wide it will fit a U shaped kitchen just fine.

3D at last I now think I have the real floor plan, the last was very kindly provided by a friend, this has been more then misleading, I actually gave up as it was taking too much time to get the correct info, so looking into it cheers

Dear Siriuskey & 3DA Design, I felt real sorry for given those unclear floor plan earlier that make confusions! The last one is my exact floor plan,
Thanks for not giving up on me !
Have a great day ahead!

The 2 yellow line proposed distance attached

Thanks for your hard work! Really helped me a lots!!
I will go for 2500X900 island with the induction cooktop and range hood. (Thanks for the websites that you provided)

1)For the X window, may I know what is the size of the hidden sliding splash back ? Do you have any sample pictures?
if i insist cover up the window and remain the wet kitchen’s stove putting behind X, *because I personally prefer facing inside the house while cooking )
How will you suggest the arrangement of L shape benchtop n cabinets?

2)For the sketch you have given , what’s the best ceiling height or design I should go for ? Do I need to divide the plaster ceiling into two areas ; kitchen / dining? Or just a flat plain plaster ceiling design ?

Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it!

This using the kitchen sink space, is the window high enough to place a fridge and wall oven unit. The large Island 2700 x 1200 with induction cooktop ( you could just use a ceiling extraction fan in the room, I have a very open kitchen space with windows and sliding doors and no extraction needed,

Shaker style Barn doors ( same style as the photos you have posted) these look beautiful and work as a feature in any room.

Wet kitchen has large sink and wok cooker, could possibly have a fridge, but may be better to take space in the utility for fridge freezer.

If you could get water to the coffee space a small sink would be perfect,

The Barn doors shown are by Ideal Barn doors Australia, they do flat pack for DYI.

The Wet Kitchen would need an external door as it's outdoors, so when you are using the wet kitchen the security door is open and the Barn door is used,

Hi Siriuskey, thanks for you hard work. I have learn something new again , those Barn doors are very beautiful!

From your sketch , it give me a lots of space which’s beautiful but I think I need more cabinets for fridge and storage .

Once again, Thank you! I really appreciated of your time and help!

The Barn doors will add something to your room (same ceiling for both kitchen and dining), ie: covering entrance to your bathroom, wet kitchen utility room. For extra storage you could extend the side board coffee station and just make that a wall of narrow pantry storage. Our as my up dated floorplan shows a fridge and frezzer and could be better used as a Pantry.

Hi Siriuskey, Good day!
Thanks for your great suggestions . I Will study again!

Hi 3DA Design, Good day!
In the project that you shared,
May I know what is the height of the high cabinets n the height of the low part / benchtop (white cabinets)

In the picture the design of ceiling is stunning! But if the cabinet go for my house May I know what is the height of the plaster ceiling you would recommend ?

Thank you!

With you trying to plan an East meets West kitchen area, I would if possible try to re arrange the Wet Kitchen and storage, I know the wet kitchen is where the wok cooking is done (having lived in Bangkok BKK for 6 1/2 yrs and having a house assistant and the layout of the houses)

For kitchen and dining area I think I have most of my problems solved. Thanks for the brilliant ideas from all of you!

I hope I am not out of topic now but with the help of all of you, I think I can solve another problem of mine ~ wet kitchen, utility room and laundry area.

How should I plan for it?

1. I can change the utility room( store room)’s door to wet kitchen area.

2. I can use either folding glass or concrete to make a room instead of open air kitchen

3. I can change the floor tiles.

4)my laundry area is better to put in the utility room , wet kitchen area or the fence of the backyard?

Or any other ideas? Please help!

Hi Serene, its 2.7m ceiling on the cabinets, higher at the middle room
I designed that as a 800mm low cabinet, then up 1.4m, then a 600mm.
Hidden door panel is 2.2m high. We are trying to get 2 slimline appliances there while constrained by the door height

White benchtop is 900mm high with 80mm corian edge

Pass thru is another name of Servery Window. Just a kitchen window that sits on the bench and can be made from anything. These are just some samples. It can be clear or frosted or even solid panel.

Just a thought since you have the opening already.

Serene, I believe your ceiling is ok, You don't need to go full height, there is a lot of ways to design kitchen for a high ceiling.

Seems like yours is more than 3m high.

Why not put some potted plants above the overhead cabinet? It can be fake plants, nobody will notice the dust if its high on the top.

On your other question,

I prefer Washing Machine to have a proper tub to soak shoes or really dirty towels, so if you can build another roof to boundary fence OPTION D like your sample photo, it will be most ideal.

In Malaysia, its hot and humid, and lots of rain, so having a shelter that allows you to air the clothes is best.

Hi, 3DA Design,
Good day.
Thank you for taking the time to help me, it really meant a lot.

The servers windows are lovely. I may consider to use it in my wet kitchen as well ( attach with sample photo)

For the ceiling, may I know what are the trend now ? I have enclosed few design that I liked may use it in either in dining area or apply in my living hall. Which one do you think nicer?

Thank you!

That is a dangerous question and totally relies on your gyprocker skills.
But from your options I am leaning towards B. more simple

I am actually from Indonesia, so I might drop by.

Always welcome!

Let me know when you are coming to Malaysia ok
