My ideas
Love the opening/step down onto closed in verandah - would maybe have bi-fold doors or the barn sliding style (like in another pic) so the verandah can be closed off to the kitchen. Like the layout of this kitchen. Door into pantry up the far right end and door into laundry/meat room/coolroom near the fridge in pic. Not too keen on glass in the cupboard doors though, too hard to keep clean.
