| Don't know if this idea is any good to anyone - Papa Goose can doubtless say if it is practicable or not.
In our (almost 40 year old) 'Ideal Home' bedroom the fitted cupboards (don't log off, I'll get to kitchens in a minute) covered floor to ceiling, even in rooms of different heights. The doors themselves could be hinged at different points onto the side 'walls'. To avoid a gap when the door was hinged higher, there was a deep drawer which ran on casters beneath it. On the end wall a 'Blende' ('panel') was fitted which covered the space up to the ceiling. (looks a lot better than it sounds here!)
I wonder if a similar result could be achieved in a kitchen merely by making the doors taller than the units - i.e. reaching up to the ceiling, with a 'Blende' at the end of the row. The 'roof' of the units would then be an extra shelf. | |

Interesting idea. My only comments would that getting the doors made larger might need an additional hinges to take the extra weight and the shelf would be very high-up. Fine if you are tall, but my wife is only 5'5", so the space at the top would end up being a bit of a loss.
I imagine that in CH you'd also end up paying through the nose for such an extra "perk"...
