Vent Hood Height?

Hello,
I don’t live in PA (father’s in P’burgh, so I know its beauty), but I sure admire your designs. In the middle of a design with a custom cabinet builder who drew our vent hood similar to your Bliss on Bay Hill Drive photo. Our designer set the hood at 34” about the counter. We have 9’ ceilings (husband is 5’9”; I’m 5’3”). It seems several of yours look similar: cabinets ~17” above counter and an equal distance to the hood (34”). Online sources suggest setting the bottom of hood 30”-36” above counter, so that fits. But, my Vent-A-Hood insert advises 24”-27” above cooktop. Some of your equally beautiful designs (e.g. Saucon Valley Classic) appear a bit lower.
Do you suggest a typically “good” height (e.g. 34”) for most cooks, or must one follow a brand’s guideline?
Thank you for posting your “Bliss”full designs and, perhaps, answering this general question from a fan of PA and Jarrett Design.
