I need some ideas for this kitchen
-
- Yess... and no.. I want to combine that look with something more "warm", more organic, because as it is now, is too "rigid". Too geometric, if it makes any sense what I'm saying...
- I'll try a different hood, maybe round one, but the client already has it... and only if he can change it. (It's a little more difficult here, than in USA to change things, but not impossible).
- distance between counter and top cabinets: 600mm
-
Try Organic Blown glass lights.

A very nice idea, sir ! Thank you.
In the meantime I was looking over this:
-
You only need to humanise it. Go with your photo background to the glass. If you have room bring the island forward and lengthen the seating area. Put a cluster of small lights over the seating end to focus the importance of people. Put some warm leather stools in even if you don't like the style of them. Then render it and review it.
-
You could also use a glass panelled ceiling extractor hood to remove the focus on the hood you have now
-
Use satined metal long handles or black handles to fit the black panel
Use this stool set, since you're having a rectangular motif in your concept
btw, kitchen looks really nice. I like. Hope the big glass panels are thermal proof glass. Use 2 spots above the block with big glass panels and two above the island. Keep it up. The result looks promising.Stool set link : http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=29f3332216e4578b8cc19d21e518b6c9%26amp;prevstart=0

Thanks for input !
Earlier today I decided to use the Cubo Stool that is pretty similar with your idea. This boost my self-confidence, seeing that others came to similar results/ideas.
About glass lighting, I'm using LED stripe, so I don't need to use thermal proof glass. I'll post results as soon as I have some renders. -
some progress... still not happy with colors.

A stool that I want to use in this design.
I remember seeing something like that some time ago. And I think it would fit in this kitchen. So, I decided to follow that idea and make my own stool.
I hope you like the result. If the client will agree with this, it will be manufactured.

I guess this is where the client needs to give input, I'm not a fan of hardwoods in a kitchen, I prefer a tile finish, I think the wood floors and wood used in kitchen counters are too similar, as well as the wall cabinets seem to get lost to wall color, not enough contrast.

Yes, that is it !
I was trying to see what is wrong here... I guess I'm too tired. You said what I couldn't see 
This is why I added the light above the upper cabinets, to get them off the walls a little. I guess it wasn't enough)) I'm pretty bad at choosing colors. Actually I try to run from this part. I feel more comfortable with shapes, contours than colors.
Thanks, solo. -
If you have the time, or just for fun, I dare you to make the walls behind the furniture black, and all the cabinets white. It will pop, and the kitchen will be lighter for the eyes. Will work great with that wood.

Nice look of the kitchen with the painting behind the glass panel
Usually they don't use hard-wood for kitchen furniture, rather MDF panel-built furniture. Hard wood is used mainly in separate dining-room sets. -
I think the kitchen is coming along.
I love the stool!
