THIS. THIS THIS THIS. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. THIS. OH MY GOD THIS.
Seriously, we asked for a heap more bench space when we saw our plans, twice as much as what was there, so much more we couldn't actually fit *more* in if we wanted to because of the size of our house.
Reminds me of when a friend of mine did the renovations of their kitchen, he went to IKEA and drew up the plans of what he wanted. They were shocked to see how he used up the space and said they hadn't seen anyone use that small a space so well before. But he loves his cooking too and plans on having a 2 oven kitchen when he builds.
Half depth cupboards ceiling down to ~2 ft above the bench. full depth cupboards from bench to floor. Single sink with just 1 side drainer. dishwasher and oven below benches. hotplates very near one end of one side of the U shape. small but workable, rather than large and unmanagable.

It is still not enough.
