Finding
The stove works in the drawing, but daily cooking has no reliable landing zone on either side.
The stove side clearance is tight, the prep counter sits behind the cook, and a cabinet door swing overlaps the working aisle.
Suggestion
Keep one continuous counter run next to the stove and move tall storage away from the immediate cooking zone.

Designer question
Can we protect at least one continuous landing counter next to the stove before finalizing tall cabinet placement?
