That just strikes me as an incredibly stupid place to design in a
fridge.

Here's a quick and dirty take on how I'd do that kitchen, based on
what I can tell from the pictu

Wouldn't she loose counter space at the sink with the fridge there (if
the sink is on that side of the kitchen)??

Also, seems like the living room is directly adjacent/behind and one
would hear the fridge running vs placed on the far wall ...


The space for the fridge is replaced by a normal countertop with
cabinet underneath, and a full cabinet above.

The corner is replaced with a single unit that has a lazy susan
underneath. Maybe something similar on top, too.

The fridge then goes near the end of the wall, under a half cabinet up
top. Doing that, you can leave enough space for an especially large
fridge, but still put a smaller one in without there seeming to be a
huge gap between cabinets. I drew in a bottom-freezer french-door
fridge as an example.

I can't really say how reasonable it would be for you to demand a
change like that (or however you'd want to do it), since I don't know
how many opportunities you had to correct the design before it was
built. But I would definitely not be happy with the design in your
picture.
