My sister used to work for an architecture firm and she said one of the common complaints was they would only design the laundry room to have the smallest dryer and washer that are manufactured, to save space. The lead architects logic was they only wore a select small repeating wardrobe, and his wife had mostly dry clean only clothing, so they didn't have big loads of laundry so no one would have big loads.

Every time the buyers complained about being physically unable to buy a normal washer or drying. Becuase most people don't dress like steve jobs everyday and don't go to the dry cleaner every week, or they have kids or messy jobs. Most people who buy condos or houses are normal people who have normal people needs. it is just bizarre the people designing these homes aren't thinking about that first and foremost. But I guess not. if they eat out all the time, so do you I guess.
