I'd want to see a more detailed drawing with dimensions since I can't tell just how tight the space is. If the diagram was close to scale it looks like there is about 10 feet between the "counter" and "sink" and "dishwasher" and "cooktop" if we assume 24" base cabinets. I'm guessing that's not the case?

We'd need to see a layout of the kitchen space and a floorplan of how the kitchen relates to the rest of the floor space with measurements.

First, it's a bit difficult to read white text on a light gray background, black text would be much better.

Second, I'm guessing it's not to scale b/c it looks like the top and bottom walls are not as deep as the side walls - or, are you putting in deeper counters along the side walls?

We really need measurements! Here's a link that discusses what we need:

What I see so far -

• The DW is in a poor location - it should be next to the sink -- it looks like you have plenty of room for it, but without measurements, I cannot be certain.

• One of the worst locations for an oven is in a doorway b/c someone coming through may not realize the oven door is open and slam into it as they come through (it's even worse if you have children b/c they are often running!) It's compounded in this case b/c that doorway appears to be rather narrow.

• The current layout does not follow Kitchen workflow of
  Refrigerator --> Sink & Prep Counter space --> Cooktop
  (or, Ice. Water. Stone.Fire)

• Is that your DR in the room with the window seat?

Please get us measurements ASAP! :-)
