How to arrange ovens (and other things)

Morning. I'm currently planning a kitchen. I wanted, and the plans show, two ovens side by side. One would be a large one, and the other smaller with a warming drawer beneath.
I'm now considering having both in one unit ( on top of one another rather than side by side). I hopefully attach current plans - ovens can be in any of the three units on that wall
Your thought please!

My personal preference would be one on top of the other.

We've got one on top of the other - top one is smaller microwave combi.

It can be a stretch sometimes getting hot things out of the top oven. We also seem to use top smaller over more often as big one takes a lot of power and most day to day oven cooking often only needs one shelf.

I'd go for one oven (and a top up air fryer hidden in a cupboard) or side by side.

I would go for one on top of the other. But my wife is shorter and would struggle to reach the top one. So that is perhaps a deciding factor if any user is a bit vertically challenged. Also, with a high up oven, you are pulling scolding hot things out at chest height, rather than leg height say. So potential for more serious injuries is greater with a high up oven. Enjoy your new kitchen!

I like your current design. I think all three together would mean the top oven is too high unless you put the warming drawer very low.
We have large over / warming drawer in one stack and steam oven / combi microwave as second stack.
Warming drawer / large oven / smaller oven would make the top one difficult to use.

We have one on top of the other with a warming drawer beneath so your plan looks a bit odd to me but it's personal preference I guess.
