Initial draftUpdated 13 August 2026Approved for Site publication (working draft)

Context and Design Intent

  • Make washing, drying, ironing and linen handling efficient without blocking the service yard.
  • This file is the authoritative requirements record for this area. The initial draft extracts known points from 10 - Requirements/00 - Renovation Discussion Summary.md; later merges must follow 02 - AI Collaboration Rules.md.

Non-Negotiables

  • LDY-NN-001 — Provide washing-machine services and a laundry drying rack.
  • LDY-NN-002 — Provide an ironing area, iron power point and storage for laundry products.

Strongly Preferred

  • LDY-SP-004 — Coordinate appliance dimensions, electrical load, water, drainage, ventilation and service clearances before design freeze.
Detailed requirements and coordination

Provisional Ideas

  • LDY-P-003 — Consider an automated drying rack; model and type remain undecided.

Questions for the Interior Designer

  • How many laundry loads are typical and how are they sorted?
  • Is a dryer required now or should space and services be future-proofed?
  • Where should clean laundry be folded, hung temporarily and stored?

Whole-Home Coordination

  • Refer to 10 - Requirements/01 - Whole-Home Systems Requirements.md for shared electrical, network, plumbing, AC, accessibility and service-access requirements.
