My architect says I can locate a gas range top - 4 high capacity
burners plus a high capacity charcoal grill (Wolf Range Top) - on a
portion of my base cabinets directly in front of a window. I asked him
if this met code, and he said yes. Then I asked about grees, he said
you can clean it just like you would clean the tile towards the back of
the range top.

I will be using a 1000 CFM hood.

I can also bump out the base cabinet that has the range top from 25.5"
to, say, 30 inches.

Does anybody feel this would not be a good thing to do, or does it NOT
meet code?

Thanks to all.
