The concept of having your kitchen right next to the pool sounds very appealing, but indoor rooms in proximity to a pool can be dangerous. Separate these areas with railings to keep safety first and your view second.
fantastic use of space on one wall, and opening up area around kitchen. Probably a beam or two would be needed to support load bearing studs of the old exterior wall. Or don't have the cement blocks at all and have an open concept
Concrete floor is nice, but where in the world would this kitchen pass code? You have to reach across the stove to get to the oven or microwave, whichever that is.
