[Cob] smallest house design / kitchen appliances

[Jilly]

In an attempt to plan the smallest cob house possible, per the advice of the cob-building books I have, I am having trouble with the design. Most, if not all the houses that I see, both online and off, don't have a bathroom or a place for a washer/dryer, much less a refrigerator. Any resource suggestions? 
I am now reviewing floor-plans for apartments, especially the ones in New York, as they are the ones that get as much use out of the smallest space possible! 
Most of these incorporate a very small kitchen. They use a "compact" kitchen unit. Like those found here:

What do you think? Is it worth the saving the space vs. using full sized appliances? Would you miss the occasional cookie baking or canning of seasonal fruit? I do have an electric roaster big enough for a turkey...
