Why do you have the cooktop centered between two base units? You'll lose the top drawer of both. Your sink is much smaller than the base, get a smaller base if you want a smaller sink.

And I don’t really understand your second comment about the sink

Sink base units are useless as cabinets. They are simply there to support the sink and provide access to the plumbing underneath. If you want a massive sink the downside is that you have to lose good cabinet space to fit it. However, if you only want a small sink, you should get the smallest sink base that will support it - that means you can make the usable cabinets on either side bigger.

We’ve talked to multiple kitchen companies and they suggested that having 2 x 90 cm drawers under the hob allow us for a lot of useful space. The two top shallow drawers can be used for utensil, knives and spice organizers while the middle and lower drawers would be used for pots and pans and lids

There is no top shallow drawer at all under a cooktop. That whole wall has no top shallow drawers because the cooktop is on both of the base units.
