Kitchen sink under window (when possible)

FIX-SINK-WINDOW-01

Description

Kitchen sinks ideally sit on a wall with at least one window; bath sinks have the opposite preference (avoid splashing into a window).

Why this exists

A sink under a window pulls daylight to the dishwashing zone and gives a view. Universal preference; fall back only when wet-wall economics force otherwise.
