Kitchen planning

We're about to begin renovating the kitchen at our country house (along with many other rooms) and I've been procrastinating about settling on a final design.  Today I took advantage of the mental distance created by being out of town to come at the process with fresh eyes.  I also forgot all the most recent sketches I made (a good six months ago, maybe more) at home.  With the slate wiped more or less clean, I started thinking about how the cabinetry might look.  I'm planning to conceal all the appliances within full height built-in closets along the north and south walls.  The shorter east and west walls will be all doors and all windows respectively.  Here are some ideas I played with, the first two (full height closet doors) reference other architectural features on the property:
