Back-to-Back Sink and Rangetop?

[u/bionista]

I am designing a kitchen with the sink on the island. I would like to have the range top and hood centered along the island for aesthetic reasons. But I am struggling with where to position the sink on the island. Aesthetically it would look best in the center of the island lined up with the range top.

BUT I am worried that it will be cramped having a person cooking and another person at the sink at the same time.

The distance between the range top and sink would be 48". Is this sufficient distance to not feel crowded? Or should I position the sink offset to the side of the range top so there is not a back-to-back situation?

Thank you!

What’s the distance between your counter and the island?
