This is most likely a "mud room." You've done the gardening or something messy and it gives you a place to wash up and leave your dirty clothes. It is often accompanied by a laundry room. People without the square footage accomplish a similar goal by having a laundry sink in the garage.

LOVE the sink, who makes it?

Please, please who makes this sink?

This question has been answered elsewhere on this photo as "The sink is a basin from American Standard, while the legs and base were custom made for the application."
