What's a good height for a brew kettle?

I just purchased a 3500w induction burner to set up a brew room in my basement and am building a brewstand/counter of sorts which will incorporate a sink. My question is how high do I want the top of the kettle to be? The burner is 4" high and the pot is 14" tall. Putting that at a typical counter height might make it a little to high and would not leave much room for growth if/when I get a bigger kettle. I was thinking of making a lower section of counter in the middle for the burner. Just curious what everyone else likes for height.

 

Are you draining your wort by gravity into your fermenter ?

Set the Bucket/Carboy/Conical on the floor in front of your brew kettle.

It only needs to be a few inches lower than the Kettle, for gravity to work.
That would be the lowest point for the Kettle.
And probably still in a good place that you can look into the Kettle with out standing on a ladder

What about pumps, have any ?
Pumps need to be below the kettle to use gravity to prime them.

 

Measure from the floor to your armpit and subtract one inch.

This is the height that you want the rim of the kettle to be so that you can easily reach down into it.
