You can see it in the top left corner of the plans between the entry and the refrigerator. The second element was the refrigerator itself. A counter-depth refrigerator saved a lot of space as opposed to a freestanding refrigerator. “They are more expensive, so I believe a cabinet-depth refrigerator needs to solve a lot of problems in order to be worth the expense.
