You may find building surveyor will require one bathroom basin and one laundry sink to meet code. With okl design a 1 & 1/4 sink may suffice. But talk to building surveyor. Someone else posted on Houzz saying they installed a toilet with integrated sink to get around it.

Thanks so much OK Louise, that laundry/bathroom plan is so much better. The hubbie thinks we may have to go to an "L" shaped kitchen to add the pantry cupboard and in case we rent it at some point. Would you just add that in the corner against the bedroom wall? Sincerely appreciate your ideas.

you could have an island or the L shaped counter but not both and depending on the size of the kitchen windows where would he place the stove, fridge and sink? ..without corner cabinets you have the full width of the wall for the appliances but a pantry against the bedroom wall stops the fridge being able to open and the stove would need to be in front of the window....the island with drawers adds much more pantry storage, more counter space and is cheaper and easier to build and install than a corner cabinet, use wall hung cabinets and shelves for crockery and don't forget that you also have the giant storage cabinet in the laundry ... we keep extra plates etc for a crowd of visitors and they only take up as much space as a bucket and are kept in the equivalent of your laundry cabinet.. the challenge is to not fill up the space with things we don't need and use....

Thanks again for the input, very reasoned and I'm very grateful that people help out.

regardless of what makes sense to me you have to live with your husband so if you would like to be more specific about what he would like i can make a plan to help work out the dimensions for you but please tell me how you will use the hut yourselves

Hi again, we are building this hut to satisfy a sunset clause on a rural block otherwise we lose our building entitlement. At this point, we will not be living there in the near future, more likely to rent out but nothing is certain other than budget must be contained. This is also why it is 60sqm, so it can become a secondary dwelling in the future.

if it's likely to be a rental then keeping it simple with the straight line of cabinets and island is cheaper and looks more modern than the L shape kitchen, also use taller windows looking out to the deck and more empty walls and bigger windows make the space look and feel more spacious

I agree on the straight line kitchen. corners in a kitchen are annoying and cost more to build.

you could put a 30 cm deep narrow pantry on the wall in front of the fridge or swap the fridge to the verandah side of the kitchen.
