Help with kitchen layout (plans included)

Struggling with an unusual shaped kitchen. Where would you put hob, ovens, fridge/freezer and sink?

I'm thinking sink on island would be a constant mess.

Want cooking activity to be based on right half of kitchen to avoid clogging passageway to table.

Roof light on right means can't have tall units there.

So thinking hob on island. Ovens and f/f on back wall and sink over on right. With left side more like a dresser style and not for food prep. But then hob and sink aren't that close together... Help!

here are some options to consider

we have a similar layout and have the sink on the island. BUT we have an upstand to separate the kitchen island from the rest of the room - it is a half-height wall along the back of the island which means that you can hide all the washing up & mess from the main dining room. but you can still talk over it & pass dishes etc. I've drawn this as the red line in the picture.

then you could have sink (S) on the island with the dishwasher (DW) next door, and the hob (H) opposite and oven(s) under the hob.

some people rave about a fridge that fits in drawers under the worksurface. If you like that, you could put several in the worksurface under the skylight (F, F). and a freezer in the corner opposite the pantry (Z). that keeps the core cooking things over to the right of the space.

Then I might make the corridor from the hall a little wider (don't let the edge of the worktop go right up to the door, it will feel tight. And I'd use the tall cupboards along the corridor to store things that are used less often - wine or coffee machines or big decorative serving dishes and flower vases etc. Labelled W in the picture.

Put a small prep sink in the island near the sink (for washing veg/ draining pasta / filling pans etc) then the main, messy sink more out of sight.
Is that a sink in your utility? Make it as deep and large as you can for soaking roasting dishes etc.
The utility door is badly positioned. In fact I would move it down to where your pantry starts. This would make your kitchen a more balanced shape and also give you a large open-plan butler's pantry/scullery/call it what you like but basically almost a secret second kitchen where all your clutter & mess get hidden away while you swan about in your pristine main kitchen !
