Window above the kitchen sink

Description

Place the kitchen sink under a window with a deliberate view — to the rear yard, a tree, a garden. The sink is where people spend the most time facing one direction in the kitchen; the view is a daily gift.

Why this exists

Plans with the sink against an interior wall scored lower across the set on daylight + lifestyle. Plans with a deliberate framed view at the sink consistently landed in exemplary.
