Kitchen design advice - with diagram

[wowfudge]

I spent last night having a go at a kitchen plan and would welcome any advice and ideas. I know you love a diagram too . The area above the dashed line was the original kitchen and has 3 m ceiling height. The area below the dashed line is the orangery - brick walls to 2.1m (so wall units are out, but base and dresser type set ups are fine), central heating, glass ceiling and windows and French doors to the garden.

We have had the wall taken out between the two rooms and want to use the whole space for the new kitchen. The dining area is through the arch to the left, so connected with the kitchen space, but we don't need to put a table in the kitchen.

There are two existing alcove spaces which I've tried to incorporate as best as I can - FF in one and breakfast station in the other where there is an existing built in cupboard.

What do you think and are there any other configurations we should consider?

I'd agree with fridge freezer drawers in the island, especially if you really can't put the hob there.

As an alternative to built in units for storage have you seen any pantry cupboards?

You should be able to get those below your difficult windows. This carpenter's work is beautiful - I lust after the quilting cupboards he makes. But not cheap. I am sure that you can get them elsewhere too.

Willow thank you. A walk in larder would be fab - and I agree that alcove could make a good location. I am seeing UKM's design tomorrow after work.
