I've voted yes because of the innovation and, speed, ultimately (have also heard a 3-D printed house in China was built in 3 hours). However, I'm aware of the dangers to manufacturing jobs that comes with it, as well as the limitations in materials. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Under sink bin added when we moved to our home 18 years ago as there was not a lot of floor room. Opening door was awkward. However now with an updated kitchen it was suggested to have pull out bin in island bench. Chop food on bench then scraps into bins. Too easy. It is practical, more room to move around work zones with re configuration. If you empty regularly it is not a problem with odour and part of the integrated design. Its clever cabinetry.

I enjoy the challenge of using space efficiently and owning what I need, not what I want. I've been clearing the excess items from my kitchen for a few years now and enjoying a more spacious feel without actually increasing the size. For the laundry I like the washer and dryer (Australian size) built-in under a long bench top so it looks neat and uncluttered. The bench provides plenty of area to fold washing and do other jobs. I love a large, deep tub for cleaning oven racks in and other big or awkward tasks. Plus a wall of storage cupboards and drawers. So a practical, well designed kitchen is a must but so is a laundry. For me they don't have to be big, just well thought out. I can't choose.

I'm really happy with all these areas, I guess because I was able to create what I needed and if and when I run out of space, I reassess and downsize. I actually made my kitchen smaller because I felt I needed roller skates with the running around I did in it.
