    @Harding Construction: As the designer of this home and an occupant here (my live/work studio is on the lower level), again, I assure you that it is real, as I frequently use it (and have run across similar models in condos while traveling). As I mentioned previously, the rear half of the top rack of the dishwasher is very shallow (I use it to lay utensils flat) - this is below the drains. And of course a disposal would never work with this configuration.

    @johnr1lee: The sink is a GE Spacemaker #GPF-97 ( http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/GPF97.html) and the dishwasher is a companion GE Spacemaker akin to this: http://products.geappliances.com/ApplProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=SpecPage&Sku=GSM2100GCC.
    You'll see that both are discontinued, but there might be other newer models, as this project was completed in 2010.

      That looks impossible.

      Only thing I could think of is they are sold as one unit

      Thanks for the question, John. I can assure you that it's real. The top rack of the dishwasher is shallow at the rear where it's below the sink bowls, and the sink bowls are shallower than standard.

      @departure, can you tell me the brand of the sink and dishwasher? this is a great space saving solution for a small kitchen!

      I did a quick search on google and could not find anything like the picture. I don't see how this is possible considering the drain to the wall, possible garbage disposal, water connections at the back of the sink, etc. The sink would be 3" deep at the front and angle back to a 6" drop or have a step in it I suppose. I would really like to see a link to this product as well if it in fact is real.

      @harding construction, I agree, typical dishwasher does not drop off quite that much, i want to say it does go down a few inches maximum...

      Thank you for clearing that up. Cool product for a tight fit.

      Thanks! I think this would be awesome I hate having liquid drip as I move stuff between the sink and dishwasher.

      I love this kitchen. The gloss with the stainless steel is genius!

      We have an under-the-sink dishwasher like this one and the compatible sink (GPF96). Now we're having granite installed. Does anyone know if there's an undermount sink compatible with this dishwasher?

      I actually also have an under-the-sink dishwasher and I work for a granite fabrication company. I've asked suppliers and there is a shallow sink but it's top mounted which I believe will be just a nice. I believe the sink is about 5 to 6 inches deep.
