We've looked at quartz and granite and just debating them. I used to have wooden worktops in an older house. They were really hard wearing but had a few stains on them and around the sink was awful. I want a bit of character but don't want warped wood! I'll definitely put a photo on when it's all done. The triangular windows were actually an after thought as it was too expensive to get a beam to brick above and we didn't want any areas rendering. It'd all been rendered before. The builder suggested the windows and made the frames to size. We're really pleased with it. I can't wait for it all to be done as our kitchen is tiny! We've toyed with the idea of open shelving too but not sure whether I'll forever dusting everything on it!

HI Mark, just to clarify laminate is a man made product that looks like wood. It's much much cheaper than real hardwood (engineered flooring) but tends to be colder and the cheapest options have a number of well documented durability issues. Top quality laminates are ok but still a bit cold, sometime slippery and never too good for a kitchen. LVT is instead much more durable but I would stay away from the cheapest options ad they are normally made in China where there have been issues with Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the lowest end of the market. TBH LVT was designed for high traffic commercial spaces and not closed small indoor spaces like family homes. There have been a lot of issues with LVT and its main components (Vinyl) relationship with the carcinogenic Dioxin. With both laminate and LVT you will require a very flat subfloor but this can be easily done with plywood sheeting which will also provide an extra layer of thermal insulation. For a better and definitely healthier option, you should look at real wood flooring. Again the lowest end of the market is most likely made in China but there are many options available out there from many reputable suppliers that I am sure you will find what's right for you.
