Tall-unit and fridge placement

Kitchen

Best for

Keeping the worktop continuous — one unbroken prep surface, with the fridge and the tall storage standing together at the end nearest the entry or the dining side.

Watch out

The group is deep and tall; at the wrong end it blocks a window or crowds the door. The fridge door needs clear space to open fully against the run's end.

Relative cost

Neutral to slightly less — fewer junctions between tall and base cabinetry, so fewer fillers and end panels.

Consequential work

Fixes which end takes the power point and any water point for the fridge; decide with the layout (KIT-01), because the group's end sets the prep-zone length.

Best for

Placing the fridge near the entry or dining side and the oven tower near the cooking zone, when one tall group would put one of them in the wrong place.

Watch out

Each tall unit breaks the worktop; two breaks means two shorter prep surfaces, and more end panels and junctions to detail.

Relative cost

Slightly more — additional end panels, fillers and junction details.

Consequential work

Two power positions and two junctions to draw; both must be fixed before the carcass order, because a tall unit cannot move once the base run is cut around it.

Cost lines are relative and typical for the illustrated specification. Relative cost names the direct cost drivers, consequential work names what else changes, and watch out names the checks required. Exceptions and site conditions can change any of them. A relative direction, not an amount. Nothing here is a price; the figure belongs to whoever supplies the item and is set after measurement.

Supply and installation confirmed with your specification.
