Hiding a fan coil / mini split head in a kitchen island?

[markocosic]

I'm flip-flopping between a wet system and a ductless system for heating / cooling.

 

Space is 12x6m; with 8x6m covered by a mezzanine; and 3m to eaves / 5.5m to ridge

 

I could shove the indoor head of a mini split above the main south facing window and try blow hot air across "up" on to the mezz and warm air "down" onto the floor but I think this will be lousy for both heating (it'll shoot straight up) and cooling (it'll not cool the mezz)

 

If I had two heads then cooling from the window above the mezz is sensible. That's well out of the way (and sight most of the time) and the air will flow along the mezz and fall onto the floor ok.

 

How about heating from a kitchen island? Would it be nuts to install a unit in an island and have it blow across the floor towards the bedrooms / spread out "under" the mezz (the living room area) before rising up through the kitchen and dining area and heating the mezz?

 

Anybody ever seen fan coils for heating in a kitchen island that aren't just the little plinth kickspace heaters?
