That green bar on the top side of the island, opposite the hob, is the dishwasher.
The main units look like this:

One big advantage over the design from the other place is that the cooker is over on the left. The last guy insisted on it being at the right-hand end. I don't remember why. It's better here, further from the dining space which is off to the right. The non-integrated fridge and freezer are at opposite ends of the kitchen because there isn't room for them to sit side-by-side.
From further back:

The island doesn't have much storage space: just that shallow cupboard on the left and the space under the sink. Sitting space is maximised because the far side will be used for food preparation and the space beside the dishwasher will allow chef to sit while chopping, while the near side will be facing the TV off to the right and will function as a breakfast bar. When we last spoke to the designer there was talk of a leg supporting the island worktop at the end, but that seems not to be necessary. Which is good.
The only major problem I foresee is that once this is installed it will take us ages colouring it in. Where's my brown felt-tip..?
