the kitchn via d&oc

this kitchen layout is very close to the one at my nest. it looks wider and shorter here. i've seen this kitchen before but i didn't sit up until i saw it recently at d&oc. the position of the window is on the left, the sink's on the right (i'd really wish i could have the sink under the windows), and it's that washing machine right there that caught my eye. incidentally, i also had a foldable table in my previous kitchen. 

i wonder if people hang their laundry out like how it's done where i am. i don't think i've ever taken mine out in the sun to dry at my previous place. we'd have to haul the bamboo sticks out over the window sill. it's easier with the newer flats. typically, the common bath will be nested within the kitchen, so the washing machine has to go where the fridge is; the bath is where the table is (i was told the pipes were done that way anyway). so imagine the fridge and washing machine switching places but because my kitchen is longer, the fridge will be quite far from the sink and stove. doesn't sound right, right? that's why i asked the architect guy to help me mitigate these things. it's not impossible, if it's just about repositioning the movables but in the end it just always seemed to be a pointless endeavour. i was also cracking my head over how i could carve out a space for a 'laundry room'. impossible, of course. why does this kitchen not look ridiculous, i have no idea. but maybe it's indeed not practical for heavy-duty cooking? but i need my kitchen to be fully functional!
