The right side of the room is looking towards the ocean. I plan to have a fan in the middle and would like lights on each side of the fan but not down lights. I will explore your suggestions. Thank you

Like everyone above here ^ LED downlights would be optimal for creating more task focused and general lighting in the space. Due to the nature of your pendant shadowing occurs when the light is on during the evening, this can make it hard to use certain bench space as task areas. If you are unable to do downlights (which can be the case for many customers) wall lights on your task areas would be the next best thing! Try using single spot lights above the areas you use as service spaces, spots that are adjustable would be great as it will allow you to adjust the lighting, be sure that whatever style you select that you pick something that doesn't glare at eye level as this will make it uncomfortable to work with. If you need more help feel free to reach out :) Good luck with your search be sure to post a photo of the final product!

Without seeing the design and construction , one possible idea that I have done in commercial buildings , is to get some plywood , say 800 x 1200 , cut 4 or 6 or whatever holes in it , insert LED downlights , take them back out and stain it or even paint ( charcoal is a logical one , but you could go as wild and crazy as you want -- bright red mightn't suit everywhere , but will suit some decors ; same with peppermint green or metallic blue or silver or yellow . You can hang on stranded wires anything from 10cm to 100cm or more from the concrete ceiling , makes a fake ceiling . I have even done several over a larger area , all at different heights and different colours and tones , and it adds even more interest . Maybe $200 a 'drop' , and it even hides the worst of the wiring , quick and easy and even slightly trendy , and probably even fits the Aussie inspired theme !

If you mean 2700mm ceilings which are quite normal height these days. Ceiling fans a widely used throughout homes with that height ceiling. The fans will not make the room appear smaller, it depends on whether you want the fan to be a feature or blend in with ceiling. I have brushed chrome fans with lights in every bedroom. My ceilings are white and walls a light grey. If you want timber, then have timber, if you feel that will blend in with furnishings.
