    Get rid of the angled walls. Now lay out a functional kitchen. Get a professional kitchen designer to assist you if your draftsman incapable of doing it.

    As Mark suggested, is it too late to get rid of the angled walls? Not just in the Kitchen, but also the Utility Room. It would be a much more functional space for both rooms and open up your options.

    Something like this:

    Go with a 24" wide single on the island. It's more than enough. Kohler Karbon faucet looks good on an island.

    I agree get rid of all the angles they serve no purpose and that kitchen needs some real work with a good KD right after all those angles are removed.

    You need help. I see 12” base cabinet on that island and you could hardly get a bar sink in there. Don’t know who gave you these drawings but there are loads of issues. Rushing now is going to cause massive costly changes ahead. Square things up. Easy to change on paper, expensive to redo once you start construction. Corner cabinet for range doesn’t look like standard cab size either. Cabinets come in 3” increments unless custom made. 9”-12” - 18”-21” etc. good luck.

    Can we see the plans for the rest of the house and where are you in the process? Is this a custom house or a builders tract house?

    Until we hear from Falovskyy, we won't know if s/he can still make significant structural changes (changes to the exterior walls).

    S/he may have to work around the walls.

    Ok, the foundation is set already so is the frame windows and roof is all done now.... the pantry door will be opening outwords from the pantry itself. The stove will remain at an angle so where/how els should I put the sink so as not in the island? we will be placing the island at an angle kinda of in loke the stove but almost a full slab size

    With slab poured, your plumbing and electrical conduits are set as well. You might be able to reorient the island and put range top on straight surface on wall opposite sink and trim corner of island. I have had a corner range top and it is very tight to use with sides squeezing the cook. Look to set on straight side if possible.

    Perhaps see if you can place refrigerator next to pantry and cooktop on other wall where it can be vented to outside easily. That could save money too. As long as electrical rough ins and plumbing isn’t in this could be accomplished. Put 24” deep base cabinets in island and change the orientation perhaps do a kidney type shape. Bbl

    This is rough but gives you alternative layout. The scale is approx. if you can put a couple windows above cabinets either side of range/vent hood you can get some natural light into kitchen.
    Each square is one square foot. So you can create island with 24” deep cabinets for sink and dishwasher then also a side 24x24” space for either a under cabinet microwave or a set of drawers. Another under cabinet to support large slab and create stool area as well. The cabinets where stools would go would be for seldom used large items. I think this would be much more functional.

    ditto.....IMO, the sink should always be in front of a window.

    Can you slide the fridge closer to the window to the left? We can't see where the dining room ends, but considering the 14'4" measurement, it looks as if you would have only about 10' left on that wall. You would have the minimum NKBA recommended prep space between the sink and range, but you would also have the island, if you needed to spread out.

    ETA, if framing and headers haven't been done (I see that they have, but framing is not that hard to change, and if you want the sink on the perimeter, you'll want a window), you could make the DR window smaller, to match the window over the sink for exterior elevation, and to center it on the remaining dining space (if my assumption is accurate):
