Very interesting.. I'll keep that in mind.
At this point, I think I am going to build myself a workbench,
possibly two. I've found some plans and I have a couple of friends who
are handy with tools. ;-)
I'll throw trays on one workbench and then the enlarger and press
on the other. The print washer will go on top of the washer and dryer.
This should really reduce the time it takes me to get up and running.
Ideally, when the mood strikes me, I want to be able to walk into my
darkroom and make a print. Right now, it requires that I spend over an
hour converting the office into a darkroom.
Now all that is left is to find inspiration to shoot film!
Thanks to everyone who replied. Really helpful. As always.

I have not seen anyone mentioning Nova print processors. They are
stand-up slot processors that save tons of space, do not require a
sink, keep developer, stop and fixer solutions at identical
temperatures, and the solution last a long time without any apparent
oxidation. All you have to do is top up the solutions. The
processor also is always ready with the solutions stored in it
requiring little preparation prior to a printing session. Very
clean and neat. Have a look at their web site:

Just to give this some scope, a sink is probably out of the
question. I rent my apartment. Right now, the trays and washer sit
on top of the washer and dryer. That washer and dryer will soon be
replaced. But with what, I'm not entirely sure. Hopefully, the top
of the washer and dryer will be flat. This will allow me to put my
print washer on. Worst case scenario and I'll throw the print washer
in where the enlarger is now (the closet). Then I'll run a pump from
that to the drain of the washing machine.
The real question I was posing was what to sit your enlarger and
trays on? There is no room for trays in a sink because there's no
room for a real sink. I can live with this. I mean, I ain't got much
choice!
Well, maybe. Say the new washer and dryer is a front loader and
the tops of it are flat. I could put a sink on top of that.. Hmmm.
I should take some more photos and post them to give you an idea
of what my office looks like.
But there are a few here: http://www.shampoo.ca/pics
