You'll need to rotate your room 90º first.

Don't buy a pots and pans set. Get individuals since everything is going to wear out at a different rate, and some pans should be different materials than other pans.

That's kind of a cool design. I like all the drains on the floor for easy cleaning, but the broiler seems really impractical.

The problem with this question is that the people browsing live all over the world and have different diets/tastes. You'll have to just take the best answers and figure out what matters the most to you. Also depends on if you'll be cooking for others.

My bachelor minimalist* kitchen setup:

8 qt aluminum pot w/ lid (for making stock) something cheap is fine; imusa is a starting point
4 qt stainless steel pot w/ lid (beans, stew, soup, chili, marinara, rice, boiling water, etc.) cuisinart is nice
10" cast iron skillet (for searing hamburger patties, steaks, chicken, sausages, frying potatoes, roasting a small whole chicken, etc.) lodge is good
13"x18" aluminum sheet pan with rack (for making sicilian-style pizza, cookies, biscuits, etc. and cooling them off; also entire trays of bacon) nordicware is good
large wood spoon (like plastic or silicon it doesn't scratch, but isn't shitty like those) make your own or any will do
small plastic cutting board (you really don't need anything bigger than the size of a textbook; thicker the better so it doesn't warp in the dishwasher; don't fall for the bamboo/wood cutting board meme)
chef knife (is the closest thing to a multi-purpose knife; you can break down chickens, chop veg, slice pizza, etc.) victorinox is cheap and decent
oven mitts; any will do -- thicker the better
3 stainless steel bowls of various sizes (for mixing dough, setting aside chopped ingredients, mixing meatloaf/pork dumplings, etc.)
box grater (for shredding cheese, potatoes for hashbrowns, another side for making garlic/ginger paste)
aluminum foil (i wrap my pot lids so i don't have to wash them)
scalloped tongs (for flipping things; not necessary but i really like having them)

I have a lot of equipment and wanted to slim down, so earlier this year I put everything into a box. Every time I went to the box to retrieve something, I put it in another box. This is what survived after 10 or so months.

*may or may not actually be minimalist

This can get a little expensive, but it's more than worth it to invest in a nice chef's knife and learn how to care for and sharpen it properly. My one good knife that I have really makes cooking a joy.
