An Archimesh kitchen island

The Archimesh add-on creates an additional menu for a variety of architectural presets, with parameters that can be adjusted at creation. Create a new scene for our kitchen island. This island will include cabinets and drawers on the side facing the stove, seating space on the other side, and a marble counter with a recessed sink. 

Here is how we will create the Archimesh island:

1. Add a cabinet by going to Add | Mesh | Archimesh | Cabinet or on the N Properties Archimesh panel. As with other new objects, a creation panel lets you change settings when the cabinets are added.
2. Change the number of cabinets to 2 and note that each cabinet gets its own settings you can play with.
3. Change the door of a cabinet to L so that the two meet in the center, set the cabinet width to .5, and turn off Countertop Fill.

4. An Archimesh cabinet comes with some basic rigging and materials and after creation, you can right-click on the parent mesh in the outliner and select Hierarchy, allowing you to edit the various meshes at once:

5. Create additional cabinets for the drawers, an open cabinet for the end cap of the island, and a clear mesh for fine china. Move and snap them around in the Top view to fit the island's 1.5 x 6 rough dimensions.
6. Archimesh creates individual baseboards for each individual cabinet. Select these, join them into one object with Ctrl + J, and simplify unnecessary divisions in Edit Mode. 
7. In this iterative workflow, space is left for a future dishwasher mesh, the hole for the sink can be added later, and any number of future set dressings (such as flowers, a bowl of fruit, and so on) await this kitchen island. I quickly modeled a cube into a .1m rim above the cabinets and created a single countertop that spans the whole island, using a Bevel modifier on the edges. 
8. Finally, put everything in a collection called Island, save the scene, and link it to the kitchen scene, as before.

Our example island turned out like this:

Archimesh is a fantastic add-on for creating cabinets and cupboards quickly. Explore some of the other set dressings it can add to the kitchen; then, let's move on to creating the kitchen sink.
